QUOTE(natakaasd @ Nov 9 2006, 09:38 AM) Split Second Again. LOL. Yeap. SOHO also, headache. Why you started this thread by the way? yingfan? 2 reasons. The first is of course more personal, I need to get one for my usage. ClamAV/BitDefender combined with WinPooch (in order to get on-access scanning) is painfully slow. Comodo Antivirus is said to be ad supported, which I think not very viable in business environment. The second reason is to help add this information (I think there would be others who need this info as well) to the pinned thread. I close the mod the merge/close/remove this thread when sufficient info is gathered. |

QUOTE(natakaasd @ Nov 9 2006, 09:52 AM) Tell you what. Use CyberHawk for on-access scanning. Uses Heuristics (but the latest version, loads of false positives. Real Player is a keylogger??!!). Cheers! Aiks, another "free for home" ....  |

QUOTE(eek-1 @ Nov 9 2006, 10:50 AM) Either I missed it or I didn't see anywhere mentioned about BitDefender 8 being free for commercial use. Well, from my understanding, since both the website or the software package does not have any statement/license that prohibits commercial/business use, then I believe that it will be fine.Correct me if I'm wrong |

QUOTE(natakaasd @ Nov 9 2006, 12:15 PM) I rather play safe, you know. BSA is no joke. Check out the EULA already? Well, that's the funny part.I cant find it anywhere in the software or the software's folder. |

QUOTE(GameSky @ Nov 9 2006, 05:38 PM) normally...free version only for non-commercial or private use only...check the EULA, normally at the last part...er...or the first part? Oops, seems like there is an EULA indeed ...But no mentioning on personal or business usage ... So I think that will means it is confirmed to be free for business ? |
