NOD32 (www.eset.com) gets my vote for single user roll out
sophos (www.sophos.com) would be my choice for a multi-user organization wide solution. |

Do u believe virus infected by norton antivirus itself? Trust me, i'm the unlucky 1 kena that. My whole pc "siaw siaw" then i uninstall norton, solve my problem. Well, AVG is quite good. Eat lesss ram, not like norton antivirus(pro right?) which eat lots of ram!!    This post has been edited by allvin: May 11 2006, 11:53 PM |

Don't underestimated free software dude juz say the truth... u see, AVG UI is very bad and when updating, has a windows pop-up(very annoying) unlike the Avast!, it update sliently. And AVG antivirus is not so effective( based on most antivirus labs tests) and its respone time too long (avast! and antivir faster). So if AVG need $$, sure everyone prefer another antivirus.... Anyone using ClamWin, also a antivirus but no real-time protection.... |

Anyone using ClamWin, also a antivirus but no real-time protection.... Different ppl got their different view Personally, i only install AVG. I don't install what alarm zone or what. Install too many these stuff can make your pc lagg. Cos' use too much RAM!! Like my friend, install so many defend, his winxp also kena spyware or virus mar!! Guess he's bad luck!!

i vote for AVG, norton plain sux. At least AVG does its job and the best thing of all, its free for personal use.
havent tried NOD32 yet, but it costs RM220+ for 2 year license, they should make it RM150 for lifetime than i'd consider. |

If ur talking about TODAY....of course Bitdefender... but next week could be NOD32 or Kaspersky... or next month could be AVG...it all depends on the developer to compete and win the market shares....THAT'S WHY THERE ARE NEW VIRUSES EVERY SECONDS BECAUSE EACH DEVELOPER "PRODUCE" THEIR OWN VIRUS TO KILL THEIR COMPETITORS

which anti virus program should I change to? Currently using Norton, license going to end soon. I would like to change to one that does the job neatly and at the same time not compromising performance. Norton really takes up a lot of memory, processing power even on startup.
Please recommend |

Stay away from AVG coz it can't detect "Spyware Quake" which is kind of difficult to remove once ur PC is infected.
I'm personally use Kaspersky. But NOD32 & Bitdefender are worth to try. |

oh yeah..forgot to mention that I use Win 98 to install the av
when I install avast, whole system seems slows down... not sure why...this thing never happen when I installed Kaspersky or AVG (of coz, uninstalled every AV) and when I try install ZA (with avast as AV), the computer seems ...perform ...very very slow... and sometime will make the computer hang.. |

AVG Free edition not that strong.
Kaspersky Personal Pro has my vote. Better than Norton for sure. able to detect some virus that norton and mcafee left out. |

you want really little ram eaters? NOD32 is worthy of praise.
Avast and ZA combo, laggy? very simple reason. Avast has that Virus Recovery Database or something like that. That process is like running Norton antivirus... You want protection and free (unless you want to do certain things... I rest my case), use AVG or Antivir. I've tried Antivir with ZA, no problems. Com should not laggy. |

It actually depends on the review made and the user preference itself...
If u think that it is good then it is good... Most AV nowadays are way competitive... Almost the same act... |

Talking about System Resource... definitely NOD32. You'll feel the difference during XP booting and shutdown. During Real-Time-Monitoring also can feel smooth program/software usage.
But for FREE AV... I don't recommend AVG...though ppl say it uses low system resource....try somethin else other than AVG coz it can't detect/clean new virus...even though the virus has been exposed for one week period. This post has been edited by dgtel2: Jun 16 2006, 11:23 AM |

always refer to their website at http://www.eset.com
Don't try Beta version of any programme/software for the sake of security reason. Even XP SP2 still has security holes after 2 years commercial release. |

Betas most of the time have compatibility issues and so on and so forth. You using Vista Beta now? Most likely you need to read up and try it urself... Not many here have a copy ...
Uses up the less RAM--- NOD32 is my pick. |

I'm currently using ClamWin from http://www.clamwin.com/. It is a completely FREE virus scanning software for Windows platform, source code is downloadable too.
However, it is a bit slow while scanning. maybe they can improve it in future version.I've tried AVG and found certain viruses are not detected. Furthermore they are not entirely FREE, especially if you want to use it personally in your company. NOD is not free leh. |

LOL, yea NOD32 is not free (unles... I rest my case). Well, ClamWin is an Open Source Project. I heard it is OK, but it doesn't have Real Time Monitoring. (I might be wrong). AVG is OK, but if it misses anything, try Avast. Still no good, use Antivir. These 3 are free for personal use. Take a try. We can only recommend, but it is still up to you to test it out. Good Luck.

It makes thing slow a bit, but this mean that the AV is doing its job. It's effective, virus infected file is blocked from access after being detected, if u didnt choose to delete the file. And, it's livechat support is responsive. |

nod 32 can be used on old pcs. they eat little ram.
av that makes a pc lag doesn't mean it is good or doing its work. sometimes, pcs that lag over the border means that the pc is overworked. on KIS, it is up to you. any prefs? |

Bit defender might be good, but the impression it gave me when I used its free version was (sigh)... Scanning time was so slow, Kaspersky definitely was faster,(considering the fact, Kaspersky scanning is quite slow if enable all options). Norton, I rest my case. All in a whole, it is your preference.

Jack2, your sarcasm might be true, but consider the fact, those who surf this corner is searching for "good" (no sarcasm) AVs, so I guess we need to speak it out nice and clear. No Offence.
What jack2 and I am trying to say is AVs that slow down the computer doesnt mean the AV is doing its job properly, much less being effective and efficient. NOD32 is good, and surely, many users can aggree with me, it feels as if you didnt install it in the first place. Response time to inform the user that the computer is being attacked is surely faster than Norton... I rest my case. In a nutshell,common misconceptions that the PC is overworked means the AV is good, CRAP... Frankly, those who say that should check whether the computer is infected with Spyware... LOLX |

Er....I make it clear..
Slow at every program start up, coz the AV is scanning the files accessed, after that everything runs smoothly. BitDefender is known for its heuristic measures, so it takes longer time for a reason. For the case of norton, dont ever compare it with bitdefender, I never had good experiance with it. Norton eats up resource even if it's not scanning files, installation is a big project, then uninstallation can kill ur pc. For other AVs, there are many good ones, u just have to try it. If u want speed, u have to sacrifice some effectiveness. For effectiveness, u have to sacrifice time. Things dont come slow or fast without a reason. If one can make a software to run faster, y not make it faster when there are many faster competitors? Except for the case of norton, it just look like a century worm to me.

I have no time for Beta testing as I have SPM on the shelf... I might consider trying version 9 or 10(if it comes out in time)(how am I going to use it, I rest my case...) later. I would not know the speed tweaking that has been done, but I assume from the way you say it, it is much faster.
Bit defender has good heuristics. Well, NOD32 has excellent heuristics too. Funny, why NOD32 is so much faster??? Please brief me accordingly then. No offence. For those who are really into AVs, do go to AV-Comparatives Website and look through the reports. Quite comprehensive. |

Well, it is true that many computer technicians still use Norton in their customers computers. It is all about establishment. Customers would definitely ask why is there BitDefender in their computers... Remember, many computer buyers are novices, if not, they would have requested for some other AV... It is very obvious, Norton has painted an excellent image of themselves...Pity, they can no longer keep up with it.

samurai1337, you might be wrong also. There was one case where an AV conflicted with an anti-spyware program. So, even if they work independently, sometimes, programming conflicts is inevitable.

Guys,
you should always be careful of the security products out in the market. There are several cases of pretenders trying to look legit. This sample taken from f-secure blog http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/ar...6.html#00000945 tells you about the scams going on. |

natakaasd is right.For example try using Windows Defender or Spy Sweeper together with KAV 6.0.0.303.They'll conflict with each other.
But,most of them are safe.Only some are not. |

So, even if they work independently, sometimes, programming conflicts is inevitable. Probably the anti-spyware comes together with antivirus functionalities?The difference between spyware and virus can be quite obscure nowadays, there's no clear cut definition between the two (although the difference exists technically, but people often use it interchangably). Agree with you that conflicts can be unavoidable, but it doesn't mean you've to worry about the combinations all day just to avoid for a conflict that don't happen frequently This post has been edited by samurai1337: Aug 26 2006, 01:15 AM |

I mean like an AV company labelling an AS(anti-Spyware) as a virus or so. Thus, removing it or causing it to crash and malfunction...(you know those cases...)

Go to AV-comparatives, many tests among AV were conducted, surprisingly norton leads in many testes although many -ve feedback were heard, could be due to its fame huh

By being a reputable brand doesn't mean you can pull higher in the charts. They are not bad in the signature testing category but trails badly in heusristics. Makes you wonder with the extra computing resources Norton requires, is it worth it? |

Norton --> PC-CILLIN --> AVG --> NOD 32
PC-CILLIN failed to detect viruses that infected my computer, had to format my HDD. Norton did a "better job" by detecting viruses but did nothing to save my system, not to mention it's memory hogging too. Stay away from NAV unless you want to send your rig on its way to its afterlife ASAP =P AVG is ok, it is free after all, the drawback is that the GUI is extremely ugly (IMHO) and the update manager is buggy. NOD32 is the best AV I've ever used so far, using it together with ZoneAlarm Pro and Ad-Aware Personal. Talk about being kiasu/kiasi ... hehe |

I'm using Kaspersky... AVG....and Spyware Blaster. Ad-aware too.
Bcoz my computer had been formatted due to Spyware. Very worry...that's why a lot of AV softwares. My pc is currently running Kaspersky & AVG on my system only. Spyware blaster/ad-aware is optional. Would it be conflict with Kaspersky & AVG running together?  |

HaoBeck's Problem:
Solution: Check whether in the settings for update in AVG -> Automatically Update? Else Control Panel-> Administrstor Tools-> Services. Check whether certain AVG services start AUTOMATICALLY. Change it to Manual. NOTE* AVG, Kaspersky ... is AV (ANTI-VIRUS) Spybot S&D, Bazooka Scanner, Ad-Aware... is AS.( ANTI SPYWARE/ADWARE...) Please do not confuse. This topic is about ANTI-VIRUS, NOT ANTI-SPYWARE. Having Spybot, Ad-aware, Spyware Blaster and Bazzoka Scanner is a SAFE Combo. Rest Assured. |

Well, I don't use any Internet Security Suites. (LOL.) Kaspersky(license ahem), NOD32(license ahem also), Avast(Home, Free),ZA(Free), Spybot,Adware,Spyware Terminator,Bazooka and Spyware Blaster. Well, don't have to load your com like mine. Most of them only scan, no RTM(Real Time Monitoring). I only like to test for STABLE Combos. Cheers. |

Currently my desktop is protected by AntiVir. It detected the Brontok H virus and unfortunately, the virus had infected my HDD. One question, why I cannot delete the virus? Why the AntiVir put the infected files into quarantine? What shall I do to remove the virus from my HDD?
My laptop is currently installed McAfree. Yesterday it expired. I do not want to renew it. So now only my personal firewall plus is working only. In your opinion, when I download a new anti virus software, do you all think that i should delete the McAfree or keep it? This post has been edited by jANe87: Sep 12 2006, 11:18 AM |

Ad-aware is for fighting Spyware and so on. Antivir is for fighting viruses. Please do not confuse both of them!!!
They are for security purposes, but not the same thing. |

Wrong section, but I'll try to help anyway. Is your NOD32 up to date? If not, run the update and scan again. If it fails to remove the worm, run the scan in safe mode. Or... google for 'Brontok Washer'. Or... search this forum for 'CleanX'. Back to the topic... I vote for NOD32, for obvious reasons. (Virtually everything that has been said by NOD32 supporters) I found out about NOD32 in LYN. Worst popular AV, IMHO, is NAV. Primarily because it is such a resource hog. Norton Internet Security is even worse: http://www.thepcspy.com/articles/other/wha..._windows_down/3 |

avast is a good antivirus but after you install it, you notice that your computer run even slower. maybe they are running the scanning quietly but when it detect virus in my computer, i also don know how to handle it. delete it or keep it in virus chest.

If the virus file is not one of your important files, then delete it. But if you are afraid of unexpected problems cropping up after deleting the file, then keep in virus chest. No harm in just locking it up.

For free antivirus I use antivir. So far i does the job well in protecting my laptop against variant of viruses including brontok
u can have Computer Associates (CA) etrust antivirus license for 1 year free - search google using this term> etrust - microsoft Normal trial version only 30days, so take a chance to try it for 1 whole year. This post has been edited by maiself: Oct 3 2006, 08:02 AM |

Virus definition/updates/etc .....everything seem to be on par with each respective s/w. But a significant advantage kaspersky has over bitdefender is the scanning time taken. Obviously im a fan of kaspersky. Used em a couple of years edi. Always got infected with virus/worms/trojans and managed to get em ALL detected and disinfected. Recalled connecting my com to external hdd, accessing all the hacking tools i've stored - kaspersky went haywired (which is a gud thing - can detect any malicious stuff wad) |

Detailed personal comment. Actually, I can't agree any more. Bit Defender's scanning time was atrocious. It was slow like turtle crawling (or worst than that). Kaspersky was at least 2 times faster. I strongly believe that if an AV is to improve, scanning speed must be adequtely fast without compromising security.

lucashii, I disagree. NOD32 has a very small footprint. I have tried BitDefender 9th version. It is still slower than Kaspersky 5.xx.xx . BitDefender has disappointed me in performance speed and in memory consumption.
I wouldn't encourage surfing without an AV around either. Had 3 backdoors hitting my computer 2 years back. Very risky, if you ask me. |

My vote goes to NOD32. I was sick and tired of NAV's massive footprint and memory-hogging processes. NOD32 provides my computers with solid protection, low memory utilization, and hassle-free virus definition updates. Perfect.

No doubt, it is small and perfect, we must give it allowance for uncaught viruses too. It is hopeless with brontok (my experience). It can't detect a variant g. So NOD32 users, please do have a backup scanner that uses definition files too. Cheers!

Hmm, no body uses PC Cilin internet security ?
for me i think it works best as it's pretty okie during background operation ( never bother me, small footprint ) update every 3 hours ( depending on your setting ) fast startup. price? only RM 120 a year.. that's like RM 10 protection fee monthly, and i think it's worth it. been using it for like 3 years, so far never get infacted with virus. for spyware, Spybot does the job well. |

Well, in reviews, PC Cilin has neither made the mark to be quite good either. LOL. Sorry if this statement hurts, but Kaspersky has way beaten it. I am not sure about the footprint when it comes to Real Time Monitoring because I haven't used it, but I guess, it maybe better than Norton from your statement. Cheers. |

QUOTE(natakaasd @ Oct 5 2006, 09:16 PM) lucashii, I disagree. NOD32 has a very small footprint. I have tried BitDefender 9th version. It is still slower than Kaspersky 5.xx.xx . BitDefender has disappointed me in performance speed and in memory consumption. i agree with you...i've used bitdefender even pro version 9 but it still slower than kaspersky personal pro 5.xxI wouldn't encourage surfing without an AV around either. Had 3 backdoors hitting my computer 2 years back. Very risky, if you ask me. furthermore...for offline user like me, to update virus database for bitdfender very hard compare to kaspersky... my pc also become faster when im using kaspersky...even both have realtime scanning but i dunno why when im using kaspersky, my pc not affecting at all compare when im using bitdefender... |

It depends what old AV you used before Kaspersky... If it is Norton, it will definitely not make a difference. LOL.
But then, if you used low-memory consumption AVs like NOD32, you will feel the speed. Really. Anyway, on the AV updating issue, I might need some help from others to clarify with that. (Busy with coming SPM already. sweats...) |

Standard Antivirus? Windows 2003? Are you sure there are such legitimate programs? Better check whether they are bogus programs... Unless they are "Security Suites" that are ...(ahem).

I had tried numerous anti virus programs such as AVG, Norton Anti Virus, Kapersky back when I was still using Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP. Out of curiosity I tried the release candidate for Windows 2003 server, and was rather disappointed that none of my anti virus worked on that particular OS in that particular time. A pity, since for some reason, it ran almost as smooth as Windows 2000 on my old Celeron back then compared to Windows XP.
Then a friend of mine mentioned that Symantec Anti Virus work, so I gave it a shot. I was rather impressed at how low the resource usage was compared to Norton. Which is rather peculiar, since I was under the impression they were under the same company. Then again, this was targeted at a different market. One particular feature that appealed to me was the lack of any need to reboot upon installing and updating my definitions. It worked right of the bat. I reckon it must be so because it is built for server environment. Needless to say, I stuck to it until this very day. Now running version 10. Not a single problem so far. |

i just switched from AVG to Krapersky. I am using the Internet version. It seems very sensitive or maybe too powerful?!
It can detect the VNC installer is a harmful program. And it can oso named out the trojan name. At least to let me search information in googling. Sadly, AVG can detect but dun provide any details bout the trojans. Btw, Krapersky had block my PC to using Trend Micro scan virus for the Web in IE. I had to unblock the cookies from the site in order to Let Trend Micro install ACTIVE X to run the scanning process. is this OK?! I found dat Trend Micro Scan online is more efficiency than Krapersky, spybot, Ad-aware. It digging out more & many harmful viruses & trojan which couldn;t trace by the above mentioned programs. Btw, Trend Micro Scan for web online seems like will removed the ahem registry to software, rite? |

Why nobody use 'Spyware Doctor'? It's an effective anti spyware software.
For example, it managed to detect a trojan named 'anti-mcafee' which disguse itself in McAfee where i'm currently using. And of course, its undetectable by McAfee. Since Spyware Doctor is a award winning anti-spyware software, why don't give it a try? After the inccident above, i decide to change anti-virus software in my comp. |

Spyware Doctor is NOT AN ANTI-VIRUS. High time you updated your meanings RIGHT! Spyware Doctor is ANTI-MALWARE. Ahem. My apologies. Cheers! @jonathanchee315 BitDefender is the BEST?! Hey, basing certain decisions on such Comparatives is utter nonsense. PERIOD. You want to know real comparatives? AV-Comparatives is one of the most accurate Comparatives around. Top Ten Reviews doesn't even do a real Viral test, much less compare? Wake Up!! Ahem. My Apologies. Cheers! |

I remembered the last time I use Kaspersky which is not a very good one (I always switch between NOD32 and Kaspersky for no reason
). My friend's thumbrive got a virus which successfully got into my PC automatically when I plugged it in. Kaspersky did detect it and cleaned it. However, it managed to infect my windows services and Kaspersky can't clean it 100% (although it said it has cleaned it). So, everytime I restarted my computer, Kaspersky detected it and tried to clean it all over again. So, I just install NOD32 and it managed to clean it 100%. What I'm trying to say here is that the antivirus my detect the virus, but it may not be able to delete or clean it successfully. For now, I'll stick to NOD32 untill I'm bored with it One more story, there's this one time when my friend asked me to clean his pc from a virus. BTW, he did install AVG (which didn't work at all even with the latest updates, no surprise there). So, I tried installing Kaspersky but the virus managed to shutdown the installer. It's weird since the installer is still fine, so I tried online scan, which also got shut down by the virus. After a few more testings, I found out that the virus will automatically close all the window which has the 'virus' word in it. So, I just put NOD32 which don't have the virus (or maybe there is, I just can't find it), but, I managed to install it and clean the virus |

Check this out
http://www.consumersearch.com/www/software...virus-software/ Look what they reviewed about Norton. xD QUOTE Most popular antivirus software. Norton is the easy market leader among antivirus software, but the company has a historically bad reputation for system drag, which can slow your computer to a crawl. Early reviews say the 2007 version of Norton AntiVirus is a big improvement in this area, but overall, reviews still say it can drag system performance. Kaspersky's antivirus software is just as effective, but doesn't slow down your computer as much. |

top 3 antivirus for now
Kaspersky Bitdefender NOD32 Kaspersky and Bitdefender slow your pc a bit but effective.. NOD32 got my thumb for lite and easy on any PC.. Using NOD32 on my notebook as my spec is 1.4GHZ Cetrino,it doesn't slow my notebook at all,tried installing Bitdefender...man it really slow my notebook a lot even though i got 1GB Ram. As i am using trial NOD32....it just expired recently but...still i need it for my notebook...hehehe I install Bitdefender at my house PC pentium4 2.8Ghz...and i didn't feel the slowness as i feel when install at my notebook. so i guess Bitdefender and Kasperky work well on faster PC. Tried to install Kasperky v6 on notebook to test but it doesn't work well with my Sunbelt Kerio Firewall....so maybe i need to ditch this firewall.. As for Spyware.....yup..Spyware Doctor and Syware Sweeper is memory hogging...i am trying the AVG Anti-Spyware(formerly, Ewido)...it light and easy... |

currently using norton internet security 2006.. goin to expire in 25 days.. so surverying for a new anti virus...
for me..NIS 2006 really works la. i gave my pendrive to a company to extract my designs file.. when i get it back.. once i push it in to the usb.. NIS dun let me to open the drive.. i to WTF.. later pop-up with virus detected.. auto clean.. n now is safe n sound.. so for me NIS 06 really rocks.. but the symantec corporate edition reallyy sucks.. can detect virus but not all virus(everytime update also state it is updated), detected but cannot clean it.. have to manually delete the files.. i think my next antivirus will be bitdefender.. |

well , i didn't use any antivirus , but i use
1. CORE FORCE (host-based intrusion prevention system) 2. Arovax Shield v2.xxx (newest revision) usually anything weird is trying to insert something to my pc , arovax will block it and if situation gets tough , i'll use lockdown security profile on CORE FORCE to monitor all traffic it's very effective and free of charge , though it's not any kind of antivirus software but it prevents any virus from running |

for me, i feel Kaspersky AV is good enough, it has all kind of protection, and perform clean up so good, u even can scan it under safe mode, which some other AV couldnt..
Now i switch to AVS as it is powered by Kaspersky scan engine, so far so good, even when my company corporate AV lost to AVS, some of the new virus, my corporate AV able to detect, but couldnt clean, and couldnt delete, so it keeps popup the mesg says already quarantine, and is annoying to user, when i install AVS on the computer affected by virus, immediately it scan out and clean, if cannot clean will delete it, and i use AVG b4, and many of my fren use it too, all having trouble, AVG is good where it can detect the virus fast, but how it handle the virus is still a problem. |

Seems like a close competition between Kaspersky and Nod32 - I assume some of the AVS users have voted for Kaspersky instead? XD

NOD32 !
I'm talking from my own experience not from other forum or from my friend.. My system files got infected by virus (which shouldn't be happening at the first place if Kaspersky detected them first) and even after KAV detected them, it couldn't clean the virus (but could detect it). So, I just uninstalled it and put NOD32.. voila.. NOD32 can clear the virus.. so, babai Kaspersky. BTW, I got 1.5 gb of RAM and I still use NOD32 not just because of its low resource thingy. People shouldn't be using KAV just because they have plenty of RAM, it should be because of the effectiveness. I wonder.. if piracy or price is not an issue.. would AVG or any other free AV will still be voted ? |

geez, found out i change anti-virus so frequent.
from Norton --> AVG --> AVS Norton cause me much trouble last time, trouble that not even concern bout viruses, so quit it after been using a few long years, then AVG, although its free, but its sucks ! Been attacked by virus a few times, it didn't detected automatically, & when i manual detect, can't even delete completely...then now using AVS, hopes it will works well |

QUOTE(samurai1337 @ Jan 2 2007, 08:45 AM) Seems like a close competition between Kaspersky and Nod32 - I assume some of the AVS users have voted for Kaspersky instead? XD Lolz! That might be... Anyway, curious also, will the protection be lowered if you disable it from running at startup? |

My system files got infected by virus (which shouldn't be happening at the first place if Kaspersky detected them first) and even after KAV detected them, it couldn't clean the virus (but could detect it). So, I just uninstalled it and put NOD32.. voila.. NOD32 can clear the virus.. so, babai Kaspersky. BTW, I got 1.5 gb of RAM and I still use NOD32 not just because of its low resource thingy. People shouldn't be using KAV just because they have plenty of RAM, it should be because of the effectiveness. I wonder.. if piracy or price is not an issue.. would AVG or any other free AV will still be voted ? |

QUOTE(CoU) This test covered only a sample of 170 infections/risks that are in the wild or known. Since there is the presumption that not all antivirus programs are capable of catching all known viruses, it is possible that AVG (which performed very poorly on this particular test) might catch some viruses that Active Virus Shield won't be able to detect. However, since it is virtually impossible to test all the antivirus programs against the ever changing universe of viruses, this test should be considered just a sampling of the potential for the particular programs, not a definitive indictment against their abilities. We did not contact nor communicate with the program's authors regarding the findings of our tests, so we aren't aware if they may have any explanations concerning the relatively wide gap in performance. Nothing's for certain. Hmm... Guess AVS is still my top pick. |

I don't know why, but too many people base their assumptions and reasoning on a "bias" site called "Top Ten Reviews"...
You guys ought to go to AV-Comparatives. That is more likely a better site, showing you REAL Test Mode Results. Cheers! |

That is the problem. Because of only ONE Site called "Top Ten Reviews", Everybody goes for its "reviews". I use to be one of them, UNTIL I personally tested the programs listed there. Not to mention, the updated and latest versions too. I was severely Disappointed with BitDefender. In fact, unless it is necessary, I will not recommend BitDefender.
Just care about the using experience? Why not use Norton. Beautiful GUI Some more. (=.=) When looking at AVs and AMs(Anti-Malware), detection rate + scanning speeds are more important. Usage Experience, please friend, you ought to change your mindset slightly. If the detection speed is slow, you can't block malware from running. Any point in installing such an AV? My opinion. No offense to any parties. Cheers! |

If one could be severely disspaointed with BitDefender..
what about other AV's that less performed ? Still got people using ? AV Comparatives uses BitDefender 9.5 not v10.. I recommend BitDefender, not because I am saying BitDefender is the best.. I am way satisfied with this AV.. Then again if its so weak or poor as said.. My own PC.. Office's PC.. Clients PC.. are in concern.. Hmm.. complaints? None that I heard of so far.. Beautiful GUI ? Thats too abstract.. every person has different taste.. Edit: Oh Yea.. "IBM to use Softwin-developed antivirus software worldwide" Hmm..

I'm satisfied with KAV Pro. However, since the license expired & I've spend around RM200 for Outpost Pro, I choose BitDefender 10. Bought from ex660. So far, BitDefender doing it's job.
I notice if I set the antivirus option to "aggresive", the web will not shown. Set at default, no problem. This post has been edited by keyz: Jan 6 2007, 09:44 PM |

I've to admit if its set the "Aggressive" there will be slightly slower performance compare to "Default" if I open up lots of tabs in the browser and with outlook, word and excel running..
Default settings will be good enough.. HTTP still function as normal..if turned to "Aggressive" Keyz... you could check with the technical person in Live Support ! Here.. http://www.bitdefender.com/site/Live-Assistance.html They'll answer all your problems and question |

Most AV do not fully remove themselves from the system and that can cause problems somethimes |

I don't really understand the sophos recommendations though. The office where I work uses it, and the level of protection it actually provides is kinda bad. (I know because I troubleshooted most of the PCs there during the 7 month period I spent there.)

AV providers are followers in that respect. That is why holistic approach is being preached by AV vendors to reduce(not eliminate) chances of infection/infiltrations. By far most AV providers have never sat on a round table to collate their knowledge and information to a central repository. Different names for the same virus gives you a clue about how business competition between providers are putting general users at large risk.the codetext which the hackers write is far more faster than any shield avail today....no body is safe...wonder my pc are among of those botnet... But there are some organizations such as AVIAN and VB.org is attempting to address this but no big success. |

I've tried eScan from MicroWorld and found it protection is very effective in massenger applications. There also some prove that Tmnet are using their anti-spam system in Malaysia www.mwti.net Can anyone try and let see the comment on this anti-virus MWL Technology MicroWorld Winsock Layer  Without MicroWorld WinSock Layer (MWL) All incoming and outgoing mails, pass through the WinSock Layer at the server level and the client level.  With MicroWorld WinSock Layer (MWL) MWL sits on WinSock. All content passing through WinSock has to mandatorily pass through MWL, where it is checked for any security violating data.

These threats not only damage files and computers by acting as viral agents, but also impose productivity losses, wasting disk space, time and financial resources.

Recently, lots of website got infested with trojan which can download by itself by just open the website. Is there anyway to block any auto download without installing all kinds of program such as Zonealarm? I already got Avast but it can't block the download and only gives me the warning after the download is complete and trojan prepare to execute. I have to clean up the mess myself

Used 5 antivirus in the past and 3 of which failed me
I've stopped using Norton since 2002 because it hogs resources, but it works pretty well provided I bare with the lagginess. As for Avast!, AVG and Kaspersky, well ... They are the 3. I thought Norton was bad enough but Avast! is even worse, hanged my comp while I was playing games, even simple ones! Opening apps or docs took longer than I expected. AVG just let too many virus slip through it, can't detect or prevent or heal infected files, not to mention the ugly GUI Kaspersky works well, but not against on the wild viruses, without updated signature files it's not effective at all. NOD32 got rid of the virus which Kaspersky couldn't detect even though my copy of NOD32 is older Using NOD32 at the moment, it's fast, simple and effective. Beats the hell out of other 4, although Kaspersky would be up to match with the latest virus definitions. Just my personal experience. This post has been edited by Dreamworks: Jun 1 2007, 01:45 AM |

NOD32 user... Speedy + high detection rates... + I just can't stand KAV's insistance of putting alternate data streams into our files, quite an annoyance...
@cyew86 NOD32's on demand scanner's eating 17-19MBs over here, and the kernel itself only eats up around 2MBs while idling... It should run well enough on a 512MB machine... As for the temp files, I have a hunch that its a bunch of log files... Just delete them after scanning (although, I've yet to encounter them personally)... And, from personal experiance, KAV (or at least an older version) eats a lot of CPU cycles... Enough to slow down the start-up of my old lappy... |

im still new to nod32, b4 this all the way using kaspersky 5, 6 and AVS.so it's natural to have lack of confidence on other antivirus when yours is good just wanna try how nod32 fares against kaspersky |

If you have broadband, I would suggest you do an Online Scan:-
1. Trendmicro House Call ---> If you use Firefox 2. Kaspersky Free Online Scanner ---> If you use Internet Explorer. You can be rest assured the results are quite accurate. If in doubt, you can post your log at Technical Support, and somebody will help you. You can rely on Dr Web Scanner. Panda Scan is not too bad either. Cheers! P.S. On the Infected Pendrive Issue, Get Process Explorer. Identify the Culprit Script, Kill Process, Delete Virus Script. Disable AutoRun via Tweak UI 2.1 if you are using Windows XP. Process Explorer is a better alternative to the "slightly handicapped" Windows Task Manager. No offense to any parties... Cheers! |

maybe they don't use Antivirus because they are using Linux or Mac.
if they do use Windows, at least try Threatfire if updating signature is such a hassle. http://www.threatfire.com/ |
