ive switched to kaspersky. from what i heard on the net, mcafee and kaspersky's engines are just as good, kaspersky's overall program being a notch better. i find kaspersky... hmm... how do i put this... abit more 'aggressive' than mcafee. i dont see much diff between them, kaspersky does seem more appropriate for those who are good in comps, mcafee more friendly and relaxed kinda manner...

Can NOD32 be updated without access to the Internet?
Yes - typically one computer in the network is set up as the update server - that computer is linked to the Internet and is updated from the NOD32 sever. Other computers in the network go to this update server for updates. For more information, please read the Guide for network administrators.

armour is not malaysian, its by a company called Norman Antivirus.

armour or vbuster is an obsolete product. yeah in the past time they r very famous n powerful but now no way. we need something more kick.

yup, armour and vbuster was very popular a few years ago, during the windows 3.1 era

reeyon , I don't scan my XP box at all..

Now its running on my ooooooooold computer , which is a P3 450Mhz , with 128mb of ram , and 4gig of hdd....(windows xp pro + no firewall + "popular" ports opened" + no av + no nuts + messenger service)

so far i get some spams..i want to see how long it lasts..the Power of XP..is it stable or not..I will do that with every system , including the mac and linux !

AVG Free edition is very good..takes less CPU Usage..last time f***ing Norton takes a lot of CPU usage and make pc hang a lot..AVG is nice ....very good scanner tooo

less cpu resource, i think don't have any AV can fight with nod32..

no way if i wan to update a stand-alone machine?

yeah, u still need to connect to the network.

well,maybe this is some of the reason ppl use norton, as norton av can be updated using diskett.
the old pc-cillin has this function, but i think new pc-cillin 2005 dont hv that function.

bitdefender is good but it use quite a lot of resources

but the scans is good..it scans very deeply into the HDD

Ive been using Kaspersky personal pro 5.0.18 for about 6 month now...
wah.. this product is dem good.. when browsing website for cr**k (highly unethical to do ) for sure detect at least 3 trojan and viruses... some times 30 in a session. To date i think it detect and block over 200 viruses and trojans from entering my pc.. it even protect me when my friend try to fool me by sending trojan (u know LAN...)

test it n u will love it..

i also hv test AVG and browse the same website but it ain't detect anything. So Kaspersky is highly recommended by me...
but it can be hard to use for noobs
