I have the Premium, on my PC every day, MB3 setup to auto-update, never noticed my PC slowing down.

nope, all back to standard settings.

had to turn off application data protection about 6-12months ago due to a MB3 bug that caused Excel errors, that's the only time I've tweaked it, and it's turned back on again now.
