kaspersky is a heavyweight and superb all-rounder antivirus software which detects trojans, malwares, viruses, etc. recommended to be installed but only u really need those protection if you're downloading a lot of warez / surfing unknown website as it eatsmore system resources compare to nod32 due to its functionality~
nod32 on the other hand is a lightweight but netherless superb antivirus software which focuses mainly on viruses. funtionality it does not perform as much as kaspersky. However, in terms of virus detection performance, it is comparable with or even exceeda kaspersky with 100% on-the-wild virus detection - meaning it can detect unknown viruses. quite suitable for normal usage... both antivirus is highly recommended, try both of them to find out which one suits you best~ better throw away mcafee and norton coz those monster eats your resources like hell~ This post has been edited by millenniummonkey: Oct 16 2004, 02:10 PM |
