You can enable or disable from advanced system care settings. the program work as defender and ram usege is about 10mb.
So this program try to protect your computer from adware and other malware in real-time. if u dont have other securty program such as smart securty, full securty, internet securty,etc (antivirus including firewall and and defender), you can use this program.

It is a good suites of tools. The Uninstaller by IoBit is used by Microsoft technical support. I had a MS technician log into my system and fix something and they asked to install iobit uninstaller. I told them to leave it and then bought all the products from IObit. I like them. I seems to work well with Zonealarm, and my Spybot. Both have a few tools I like.

Real-Time protector isn't a threat to your computer, but it is redundant if you have existing Spyware or Malware protection that already passively scans your computer in the background. I kept Windows Defender since it comes with Windows 10 and it's just as good as any out there now, but I use Pro version of Malwarebyte's Anti-malware for Spyware/Malware so Real-Time Protector was just eating up resources since Marlwarebytes already takes care of the job pretty well.
Most conflicts you'll get where memory and CPU useage spike to a program like IObit and other malware programs occur when two or more are trying to scan the same file.
They lock it while scanning so they're fighting for who gets it first.
Disabling Real-Time Protector if you have another program that scans can also save you from hard resource spikes.
