There is no diiference between the trial and the commercial version. The only extra in the trial is the purchase button. functionality are same and not crippled in anyway if you dicount the fact that the updates are only for 30 days.

Hi,
If you can show me an AV program that can detect all the viruses created, you can be quite convince that the AV company has something to do with the creation/manipulation of the virus.
Most if not all AV companies rely on sampling by the public, researchers and ITW journalist. There will be some misses as the data is not shared openly at the moment.
There suppose to be works on sharing samples amongst AV companies but i have not seen it as yet. Even with virus naming, there is still several names for the same virus.
If you will kindly check resources such as virus bulleting and www.av-comparatives.org, you will see no company in the world can claim that they catch all threats.

regards...

cost to install...nothing but your own time. Cost to purchase...varies depending on versions. new version out i think?

BTW, with no intention to disrespect Norton fans, Why don't you look up other AV software with has better scanning & detection capabilities and minimum resource usage. my experience with Norton tells me that unless i have a high spec machine, the slow down is highly noticeable. Great console graphics though.....

Standardly all AV software prices are typically about USD40.00. The premiums are about USD60. For USD80, that is simply expensive...

Of course not ISO standard or whatever official standard. But based on my personal market surveys on AV programs for sale.
Though i must agree its the vendors that set the pricing but they do benchmark their price against the most and least expensive competitor and compare features and market positioning before coming up with the final price.

Korean? Hauri Antivirus....horrible detections.... but korean....

hi,
you could try NOD32. their standard versions can run on server 2003. BTW, did you try to scan the infected file at Jotti's to confirm the name of the virus? Removal can be googled out once you have a confirmed name.

Good for you.

Hi
you said NOD32 slows file transfer? Was it very bad? Could it be due to your settings? If you have max settings then generally you can expect slower file transfer esp if you have advanced heuristics turned on. Did you check the optimize scanning box?

Hi,
The capture doens't show the level of protection you have chosen. look it up under AMon,setup,options tab. If you have advande Heuristics turned on. This would be a probable cause as AH does some form of sandboxing causing it to slow down.

but i curious to know if any AV programs you have found that will not do this given the setting levels are same for both NOD32 and that AV program? Cause I'm using NOD32 right now and i when i transfer from HDD to portable HDD, i always temporarily stop my AMON to speed it up.... 80-120Gb transfer isn't fun when you have to wait very long....

Hi,
turning off heuristics temporarily to speed up transfer of files that you have previously scanned is OK. At least in my 2cents opinion...
But you should activate it back upon completion of big transfer. In NOD32 heuristics got 2 type, standard and advanced, if you select advanced they supposedly peform some sort of sandboxing technique. This makes scanning time much longer.

G data? (http://www.antivirus.net.my/) Uses 2 engine, kaspersky and bitdefender. But i doubt it is a fast performing solution. Prolly more effective as av-comparatives shows. should be good for a quick thorough scan though...

yes,
quite sometime back though. Somehow never really hooked on to it....

2 possibilities. One is that the real time scan only utilizes one engine. possibility number 2 is that the scan options are not high thorough. Also in real time scanning, number of files being scan on a single instance is very small, total latency add up is minimum as compared to scanning an entire harddisk.

Hi Billy,
try NOD32 at www.eset.com. The standard 32/64 bit file will install on the Windows 2003 standard.

Hi,
May not be free but then again windows 2003 for server wor....your company don't want to spend 100 bucks to protect the server?
Working in Chinaman company i presume... life can be tough

Please take with a pinch of salt.
Several of the solutions stated uses kaspersky engine. So Kaspersky can't be losing. Perhaps the testing methods differ as the settings differ.

My 2 cents....
If you feel bitdefender is ok for you then go ahead and buy it. If you continue to compare, its never ending as this version kaspersky better, next version bitdefender better, following version avast better. You can't keep up unless you have plenty of money to purchase every new release which is best.

And is that suppose to be bad? A little laggy i would concur but i rather it checks everything than being selective and misses something. If you want something faster, then you should try NOD32 but it is no silver bullet....
