Jeez, that is darn bad news. Kaspersky is one of the best, and now...

But then, worry not, there is still at least free AntiVir.

Cheers...

Lets clear this once and for all.

AVIRA AntiVir DOES NOT Use the Kaspersky Engine. Neither does it use its Updating Modules, thus the EXTREME Slow Downs in Updates.

Why is it slow? The explanation is simple. If you are downloading almost the whole 1-3MB worth of files, it ought to be slow some how.

Thus, For those with high speed connections, refer to these sites to download a full package of the updates. Remember to use a download accelerator or download manager to make the experience more bearable.



I use the second link more often. Less corruption, less traffic too.

The file should come out to be almost 16MB, but rest assured, the traffic there is far less, thus not needing to wait for FTP Line up.

Cheers!

As a matter of fact, I am using AVIRA quite fine.

Another option is NOD32, if you want to save money(apparently), go find the *ahem*s yourself.

Cheers to all!

P.S. (DIRECTED TO SOME IGNORANT AND NAIVE MEMBERS) WARNING!!: DO NOT ASK FOR PIRATED ITEMS IN THIS FORUM. YOU WILL FACE ACTION IF YOU DO SO.

Thanks!

Really? I believe that AVIRA's detection is lower than Kaspersky, even for False Positives.

Clean/Delete viruses? Well, if you know what you are doing, and you know what to do, that shouldn't be a problem.

Though I quite agree with the last sentence.
"Whats the use of detecting when it cannot fix the problem?"

Cheers!

Kaspersky has an "internal affair", thus the discontinuation of services within AVS.

Cheers!

P.S. Internal Affairs is more than *ahems* LOL.

No, that was not the internal affair I meant.

It has something to do with s "split' within the company or so. AOL was afraid that AVS will be affected, thus they pulled out Kaspersky's Engine. Sad but true.

Cheers!

P.S. I didn't know that "internal affair" could have such an interesting misunderstanding... LOL

Release Candidates can be tried but then, they are still BETAs. I would still advise "those who are not BOLD Hearted" to use ESET NOD32 2.7 version. At least it is Stable and Reliable (Or Appears to be )

Cheers!

Seriously OT: 1337 posts. I never realized that. 31337!

Cheers!

Don't worry, Joshua. It is about my Post Count. It hit 1337 yesterday. No longer there already. [It will/should be 1340 now]

Cheers!

EDIT: No longer is. Sigh...

Understandable. Just so like Spam, isn't it?

After this, stop using AOL when it expires. AntiVir AVIRA or ESET NO32 will make the mark. (Of course, this refers to other members who are pondering too. I know you gotten yourself a copy of ESET Security Suite RC 1)

Cheers to all!

The reason people don't talk about AVG here is because the title is about AVS.

Cheers!

Very well. It might be Security and Privacy subsection, but AVG sure does not perform that well anymore. That's why it is no longer being discussed.

Cheers!

Screenshots can tell many things about an AV, but with comparatives, you know even more about it.

GUI = functionality,
Comparatives = efficiency.

Cheers!

OT: As a matter of fact, NOD32 is not too user friendly.

Cheers!

OT: The User-Friendliest is still Norton. Truthfully speaking.

Cheers!

OT: LOL. Norton Anti-Virus is an Install and Go Program. Quite simple on the New Guys. NOD32 on the other hand, can be very traumatic. But, once you get used to the knack of it, it is one of the best AVs around.

Cheers!
