this is a good antivirus, except it has no real time protection, the most useful component.

QUOTE(quintessential @ Oct 30 2006, 04:13 PM) this is a good antivirus, except it has no real time protection, the most useful component. It does have real time protection (as in whenever files are accessed in HDD/CD/FlashDrive, it gets scanned and virus is detected), but the missing function is proactive protection Quoted from kaspersky website QUOTE Proactive protection This post has been edited by samurai1337: Oct 30 2006, 10:32 PM* Control over changes in the file system. With Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 it is possible to compile lists of applications, the component structure of which will be controlled, thus helping to prevent malicious programs from undermining the integrity of the application. * Monitors processes in the memory. The product monitors the activity of programs and processes that have been launched in the computer's memory and, at the same time, warns users of any dangerous, suspicious or hidden processes (that is, rootkits), and of unauthorized changes in routine processes. * Monitors changes in the operating system registry. The application controls the status of the system registry and notifies users of any suspicious objects or attempts to create hidden keys in the registry. * Blocks dangerous macros. Proactive protection affords control over the operation of macros based on Visual Basic for Applications in Microsoft Office documents and blocks dangerous macro-commands from being executed. * System restore. The system can be restored after malicious activity. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 can roll back any changes made to the system by malicious programs. |

No doubt, but from my view, without proactive protection, even if it uses signature-based real time protection, it will not detect at least half of the malware we get, and it might miss many polymorphic viruses too. So, I still feel that RTM (Real Time Monitoring) needs to be a bit more extended rather than just scanning files on the spot.

I think it keeps on increasing when your OS receive incoming files from your flash drive, floppy, CD or even from the web, AVS will scan it for you.
If you stop it, no scanning will be done. This post has been edited by samurai1337: Nov 3 2006, 12:10 AM |

Just start my pc it continue scanning.If i stop it , will it still protect from virus ? Sometimes i feel like my pc a bit slow after install AVS |

Sometimes i feel like my pc a bit slow after install AVS I don't think the real time scanning engine will affect your system THAT much, and if you stop it, the risk of getting infected will of course be relatively higher |

I mentioned it in post #43Basically, it's a more proactive approach that scans your memory processes, registry etc., other than just file access. |

@darude87:
If you OPEN a file, it will scan. But if a virus is new OR a highly-skilled polymorphic virus (Imagine the virus changing clothes every second), then, it might not be able to block efficiently. Cheers! |
