Does AiProtection really work?

I see that AiProtection dishes out colorful description on the various features but how effective it is? I know it's better than nothing but it adds roughly about 30% more RAM usage as I see constant activity. When I disable AiProtection, the RAM usage comes back down about 30%. I enabled it...

AIProtection: Worth the Overhead?

Hi, Since April 18, 2019 I've had 19 Malicious Site Blocking hits. They all seem to have been a byproduct of normal Internet usage. Is there a speed/performance overhead that would make such routine blocking (something I'd think my AV software would do anyways) not worth it? Or is AIProtection...

The best defence is common sense, at home and work I I follow a simple policy of defence in depth, enabling AiProtectionPro is simple and has very little over head and may well protect you from that one attack you didn’t spot, to me makes sense to enable it and see how it performs for you.
