Quick Scans started at around 17 minutes on our test PC (42GB data checked), and even with the persistent cache enabled, we were still typically waiting around 8 to 9 minutes.Īccuracy is what really matters, of course. Premier 2014 has much-improved in-memory scan times for EXE and text files (up to 10x faster), but in our experience overall performance remains only average.
You may have to wait a while for the results, though. Running your first system checkup is easy enough, thanks to the "Quick scan" shortcut on the Premier 2014 console. And generally it works well, although perhaps like Windows 8, it sometimes feels as though the interface is more designed for a tablet than PC desktop (the Settings panes require plenty of unnecessary scrolling, for example). The overall effect is Windows 8-like, without being a blatant copy. Even when scanning, say, you don’t get all the stats displayed previously: figures like "run time", "speed", "test files/ folders" and "amount of data tested" are no longer displayed (they’re available in the logs, just not at scan time). There’s no lengthy list of shields, no bulky text explanations of individual features, everything is stripped back to the bare minimum. A dark console displays your current security status (though no smiley face any more, sadly) the left-hand toolbar organizes the suite’s functions into 8 categories (Status, Scan, Tools, Settings and so on) and four configurable shortcuts provide one-click access to whichever feature you like.Įverything is drastically simplified, too. The first big change you’ll notice in Premier 2014 is the new interface. Not a bad start, but now it was a time for a closer examination. Okay, this did raise a false alarm over a little-known utility we’d installed, but that’s not unusual, and at least Premier 2014 detected our malware samples correctly. The suite handled its first steps just fine, too, automatically downloading the latest definitions and launching a Quick Scan. There were no demands to remove "conflicting" applications, no other issues, and setup was complete within a few moments. Installation took a little while - no surprise when the suite requires some 550MB - but was otherwise hassle-free.

You don’t have to install everything, but we accepted the default settings and waited.
