Memory footprint of paid version?

[elshiftos]

I'm thinking of of purchasing the full version for the realtime protection, but am loathe to do so and then find out it's a memory/startup time hog!

Just wondering what the average footprint is and whether the realtime module runs quietly in the background and behaves itself

TIA

I have been very pleased with the lack of resource consumption in the MBAM with protection activated. I have a 6 year old HP laptop with a single core 1.8GHz CPU, 1.5GB memory.

According to SystemExplorer mbamservice currently is using about 60MB of memory. This number might seem large, but the overall resource usage seems to be very nice to the system. It certainly does not fall into the resource consumption of an antivirus suite.

I am going to keep an eye on this thread to see what others might have to say about it. I am trying to get my company to be a reseller of MBAM. We are already resellers of Avast antivirus, and these 2 programs seem to complement each other very well with relatively low system overhead.

Darn it, i cannot edit my reply. I also wanted to add that I never noticed an increase in system startup time after activating the MBAM Protection.

I too have the Pro and have not noticed any decrease in start-up time. In fact the only time I now it's there is when doing a scan which should be normal

I have the pro version also and have not noticed any system slowdown during a scan or change in startup time. I am not looking closely either because it is not an issue.

Before I activated the PRO version on my 512mb machine running Vista I also was worried it would slow down startup. After activating PRO I have noticed no difference in boot time or time to launch programs.

You can't even tell it is running there, it cannot use much resources.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!

Some people have set Malwarebytes Pro to start 1 min after startup if they were concerned about memory loss at that time , but that was mainly due to having too many items at startup - Mainly a heavy Antivirus -

Just wanted to add my feedback here, I hardly notice Mbam running in the background at all; all I need to see is the little red and white M in the tasktray to tell me I'm protected

[DarkSnakeKobra]

The only time I ever notice it, is when I look at the task bar. Otherwise it's very quite.

@noknojon- I have it set to delayed by 30 seconds with winpatrol. Although I have quite a bit of start-up items such Online armor which has two icons, threatfire and hostsserver.

@ Buttons -

Yes that is the type of thing I mean - Some Antivirus programs (WISE also Winpatrol eg) do not like starting at the same time -

Daledoc has about a 1 min gap for this reason (WISE A/V) -
