Does Virus Protection Affect Gaming Performance?

Posted on December 12, 2008

I found this to be an interesting article on ExtremeTech  about the effects of Antivirus software running while gaming.

Article Link: Gaming Performance Versus Antivirus Software

My Opinion…

I have always thought that no matter what the background software that is running it will in one way or another cut into performance.  The results of the study show that the game performance is not affected as much as you would think.

What do you think about this topic?
