| Abstract [eng] |
As digital threats continue to evolve, the need for effective antivirus protection is paramount to safeguarding personal computers from malicious activities. These antivirus programs also have a tremendous impact on the performance of the computer system, which in turn can become vulnerable to malware attacks. This study delves into the intricate relationship between antivirus software and the overall performance of a personal computer by focusing on the comparative performance analysis of some selected free and paid antivirus software on the same computer. A survey of around 130 respondents was conducted to select antivirus software for testing. The study takes parameters such as the boot time of an operating system, the copying time of a set of files, the working memory used by antiviruses, and various application start-up times to understand the impact of the antivirus program on personal computer performance. The thesis consists of 49 p. text without appendices, 15 figures, and 28 bibliographical entries.Appendices attached. |
