In a conventional architecture, antivirus and anti-malware solutions are essential for safeguarding and hardening against malicious attacks. The problem is that antivirus programs can be quite resource-intensive, diverting substantial computing resources away to handle malware scans. On a physical machine, this may only use a modest percentage of total computing performance capacity. On agent-based virtual machine configurations, however, this computing resource drain is often multiplied.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/agentless-antivirus-vs-agent-based-antivirus/)
