I feel using GPU for file scanning may also make multi-tasking better since the antivirus is not using all the CPU power during virus scans, so software like web browsers have enough CPU processing power during virus scans.

I know whenever AVs run, other things can become really slow.

I think there are antivirus which can run before Windows start-up, so the scan runs faster because there are not other programs slowing it down.

Antivirus scans can be very slow on slower cheap laptops.

I think the bios does have one, but thankfully don't take to run.

Windows 11 is supposed to have high level security, so I'm sure it will.
