Paying for AV is really pointless.
Well, that's why I was rooting for free antivirus like AVG or Avira. As of now, I'm relying on MSE.
Paying for AV is really pointless.
Anyways, I'm probably going to have to charge my phone overnights now.. I left it running at near full battery overnight and now it was near empty battery when I woke up. My iPod Touch nor my tablet discharge that quickly at all.
Well, maybe I exaggerated a little on it draining to near bottom overnight, but it drained quite a bit. I only use wifi and cell service on it, and nothing more. And bluetooth is enabled as well.
Also, I can't use 4G or any sort of network data on it (just yet) because it's not a part of my plan.
Yeah, do what Twiggy said, and turn off the WiFi if you don't need it. I mean wifi isn't like 3G/4G were you can access it everywhere, why leave it on? Also have the screen brightness as comfortably low you can, that saves battery as well.
Did you know that the brightness level selector becomes the brightness cap when the display brightness is set to automatically adjust on a WIndows Phone? If you see yourself using the phone outdoors, I'd suggest leaving the display brightness level at high, and then turn on automatic adjustment.
Now I'm wondering if I can find some good software for my Froyo (2.2) Android phone that can adjust brightness automatically, I don't see that feature on my phone.
Benchmarks rarely mean noticeable decreases. I've been running avast for 2 months now, switched from MSE, and I haven't noticed Windows 8 64-bit slow down in the slightest. However, if you really want a paid AV, Kaspersky is likely lighter than Norton.
It certainly didn't affect my system as much as lifehacker is showing, but my SSD might have something to do with it.For a device to be able to automatically adjust the display brightness without relying on a timetable and being rather hokey, the device needs an ambient light sensor (ALS). I find it a good thing that ALS are mandatory on Windows Phones.
I pay significant attention to boot speeds these days. Most antimalware solutions do fine handling real-time file access on boot, however, not many do too well when it comes to minimizing the boot time impact. You'd be surprised who's the lightest these days when it comes to staying away from impacting the Windows boot performance.
Boot performance is one of these things that everyone can see, and it should be kept as high as possible. For that, anything to prevent excessively long boots is a plus.

Unfortunately, finding much compatible with a Froyo phone these days is difficult... and if you don't have a light sensor for auto brightness you're doubly screwed. :P
Really? I think if Android is stricter, it would be like Blackberry that time, which if someone have it, he/she would be considered elite... at least in my country.
