Computer Settings | Real Time Protection Caching option

Does enabling the Real Time Protection Caching option significantly slow system shutdown or startup?

Hi HeidiR,

 

  Enabling Caching feature will not slow your system shut down ot startup, instead it increases the performance at the system startup. I tell you what caching is:

 

 

This feature’s function is to store clean file information at system shutdown and store it until Auto-Protect is reloaded when the system is next started. When the system is started again, the information in the operating system boot files and startup files is compared to the contents of the cache. If the files have been modified, then Auto-Protect scans them. If the files have not been modified, then the files are not scanned. This technique reduces or eliminates the impact that scanning may have during a system startup.

Thanks for the clarification.
