Panda Antivirus Platinum is the better bet
it has a built-in firewall plus a lot more features
that's what panda antivirus titanium is lacking of
and i've tried titanium, platinum and internet security but the best is still platinum

titanium the name sounds nice, but it has actually less features than platinum

panda is good in this case also
just buy it and register it or crack it(ahem) and then u can forget about the updates. Panda offers daily updates and it'll automatically updates when it detects an internet connection without needing the user to manually do the update

IMHO, i've tried all of the above and still panda is the best
and AVG is the least effective in killing viruses and trojans

Nowaday you need the most efficient security tools to protect yourself from being attack by malicous codes, viruses, worms, spywares and etc

I am trying to combine the most efficient security defense tools such as anti-virus programs, personal firewall and anti-spyware for my PC protection. Another tool u may consider is the IDS such as ISS BlackICE.. smile.gif

for those AVG free edition users,
i dont think u can run the antivirus in safe mode rite?
therefore there are many worm/trojans that cannot be deleted.

im using kaspersky+ZA+ad-aware+spybot search and destroy

I'm using norton 2003 but not norton 2004 coz norton 2004 got lots of utilities tat are useless which take up space. All these years i have not been trying other antivirus protection. In firewall, i choose ZoneAlarm. For spyware, i choose adware + spybot.

Wow!!! You're among the most unique one biggrin.gif
Anyway, a good choice. I read something from a review site. NOD is the most effiecient (in terms of resource usage and virus that it could detect) AV ever. And draw back is, it doesn't catch TROJAN. I heard ot could finish scan the whole C drive (say about 6-7 G occupied) within 5-6 mins ( shocking.gif )

actually i'm looking for one also for my laptop.

norton works well on my fast desktop but it is SERIOUSLY a resource hogger on my laptop (P4 1.6, 256MB).

tried avg free edition. takes much less resources but then again, it is not reliable. still finding one that strikes the balance.

i personally use Norton Internet Security Professional 2004 c/w NAV. Quite a good combination, except that it eats up memory and sometimes can't clean the infected files - usually it just quarantines or deletes the infected files

perhaps u could have avoided the blaster worm if u have a good antivirus. well, for me, prevention is better than cure.

btw... how did u fix your pc after the blaster infection?

I downloaded FixBlast and removed the worm and installed the patch by Microsoft. I don't really trust anti-virus.. i know it's good to have one, but i've seen friends infected by virus too even they have anti-virus installed.. so i don't see the point of having one.. smile.gif

Corporate Edition de Client. Me also using that. Since version 7 (now 9 already). Anyway it's quite hungry ah.. ... shakehead.gif
Corporate Edition is good for office use which you have centralize control over all the AV client that you installed. LiveUpdate also easy. Just get from the server. Client do not need to have internet access to run LiveUpdate.

Norton is the best for virus detection, but use a lot of resources, beware of the shared file.
Combined with norton internet security make ur compie better.

here's my research about antivirus.
norton? forget about it coz eating alot of resourse. p4 no problem but how bout p3? power of scanning virus is medium only~
panda? it's a good antivirus especially built it feature "smart clean". It help clean virus and roll back what virus hava did. but still insufficien in scanning virus. (my pc is infected with virus even i have panda, same as norton. Of course i did all the update). and if you want to install it on winme and win98, u need to update dx9 and ie6.If not u will having problem to run the program. kaspersky properbly is the best av now. it don't have feature like panda, but it have powerful virus scanner that detect almost all the latest virus. But because of that, the virus scanning is slow coz scanning is too detail (that why it's powerful in scanning). update daily, update more faster than panda, norton etc. Use low resourse (even p1 no lagging at all!) recommend!!
nod32 is about same as norton. other av is useless.

Many firewalls also use this technology. ZoneLab Integrity (for Corporate used. Central Managed).
Think it's something like Quarantine but in a SMARTER manner.

my votes go for kasperksy ... uses less resources unlike norton Av which borgs down my computer ... other notables av sw are : panda & avg. however my favourite is still kasperksy. only rm35 smile.gif

where to buy woh? btw,after i read the competition......i might well install mcafree and kapasky since they r both good.

again, i can't agree with it...
bare in mind that not everyone is money minded...

maybe there is no better free windows antivirus around yet... but firefox, nettransport, thunderbird, php, mysql, apache, foobar2000, filezilla etc are free and working decently in my pc...

- Call symantec to renew the license
- Format your PC and install norton again
- Use other AV or don't use AV

mcafee is good but too many annoying popup everytime it detect virus. after mcafee clean the virus it will prompt me for full system scan which i found it quite troublesome. the virus detection for mcafee as good as kaspersky i can say. my advice is dont install norton on slow machine or u will regret.

Kaspersky rocks!!

I've been a Norton AV user for like more than 5 years (McAfee failed me previously back in the Win98 days)... just made a switch to Kaspersky and realised that Norton's AV "engine" a little dated and resource hungry. Kaspersky is slightly lower on resource compared to Norton (2-3MB lesser), without compromising security, and with more frequent updates to protect from new viruses. And the best part... it's one of the cheapest legal copy of AV payware available (via CHIP promotion). I'm lovin' it

with our friendy shop around, i hav try all, norton is my final choice.

i m using norton internet security 2005 not pro now
i found this time 2005 didnt scan all large size file that i move/copy/cut/compress/extract
which norton internet security 2004 professional will scan when i perform these action on large sized file
this is crucial to me bcos i m using LAN + dc++, i transfer 30gb++ file a day
to those who like norton, i think better wait for professional

btw, norton internet security = norton firewall + norton antivirus, it work fine on me, the firewall save my ass when there is still no cure on blaster

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal 5.0 Critical Fix

Version: 5.0.156 Release date: 07.10.2004

Enhancements:

1. JPEG-format files are now scanned in all operating modes.

2. Adding new license key error has been fixed.

Known problems:

1. OAS can occur when suspicious or warning objects are placed manually to the quarantine. The disinfect dialog box for the quarantined object is displayed.

2. There are some non-localized messages (only in English) in the MailChecker module.

3. The application does not prompt for password when scanning protected archives placed to the quarantine by the user.

4. The MailChecker component works incorrectly with the Magic Mail Monitor application if the mail is collected at startup: message headers cannot be downloaded from the mail server (improper use of the POP3 protocol by the Magic Mail Monitor application).

- Can the new version be installed on top of version 5.0.149?
Yes, it can be installed on top of current version. You will only need to "exit" KAV.
(I would still recommend to take the time and uninstall previous version to escape possible erorrs).

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~

any kaspersky users here ?

Does it support multiple login/ users? Each time i'm switch to another account, an error message pop displaying 'kaspersky already loaded by other users' ?

btw; kaspersky is very strong in virus scanning. It can detects 'undetectable' malicious program/ virus than normal antivirus software.

how come Kaspersky Personal Pro version 4.5.0.58 better than Kaspersky Personal version 5.0.149 below these : ?

10-25 August 2004



The test was made on 10-25 August 2004, using Windows 2000 SP4 on a CELERON 2400 Mhz, 256MB DDRAM.
All programs tested had the latest versions, upgrades and updates and they were tested using their full scanning capabilities e.g. heuristics, full scan etc.
The 76556 virus samples were chosen using VS2000 according to Kaspersky, F-Prot, RAV, Nod32, Dr.Web, Sweep, BitDefender, E-Trust and McAfee antivirus programs. Each virus sample was unique by virus name, meaning that AT LEAST 1 antivirus program detected it as a new virus.
ALL virus samples were unpacked and the only samples that were kept were the ones that were packed using external-dos-packers (that means not winzip, winrar, winace etc).
The virus samples had the correct file extension using a special program (Renexts) and were unique, according to checksum32 filesize.
Most "fake" virus samples were removed, as well as "garbage" files.
The program PER was not tested because there was no english demo version available.
The programs BOClean , VET , Titan , RisingAV , Ikarus and Freedom were not tested because there was no demo version available.
The program InVircible did not include a "typical" scanner-function and could not be tested.
The program V-Catch checks only mail accounts and could not be tested.
The following file types were used.

BAT, ΒΙΝ, CLA, CLASS, CLS, COM, CSC, DAT, DOC, ELF, EML, EXE, HLP, HQX, HTA, HTM, IMG, INF, INI, JS, MAC, MDB, MSG, OLE, PHP, PIF, PL, PPT, PRC, REG, SCR, SH, SHS, SMM, STI, TD0, TPU, VBA, VBS, WBT, XLS, XMI, XML.

The virus samples were divided into these categories, according to the type of the virus :

File = BeOS, FreeBSD, Linux, Palm, OS2, Unix, BinaryImage, BAS viruses.
MS-DOS = MS-DOS and HLL*. viruses.
Windows = Win.*.* viruses.
Macro = Macro and Formula viruses.
Malware = DoS, Constructors, Exploit, Flooders, Hoax, Jokes, Nukers, Sniffers, Spoofers, Virus Construction Tools, Virus Tools, Corrupted, Droppers, Intended, PolyEngines.
Script = BAT, Corel, HTML, Java, Scripts, VBS, WBS, Worms, PHP, Perl viruses.
Trojans-Backdoors = Trojan and Backdoor viruses.

any kaspersky users here ?

Does it support multiple login/ users? Each time i'm switch to another account, an error message pop displaying 'kaspersky already loaded by other users' ?

btw; kaspersky is very strong in virus scanning. It can detects 'undetectable' malicious program/ virus than normal antivirus software.

fast user switching in XP is still not supported even in the recent version 5 of KAV.
According to Kaspersky support there will be a fix for this but not in the first maintenance pack

The only caveat to using Kaspersky is that it leaves behind thousands of ADS tags in your system. Read HERE

There is actually a program called "NTFS Streams Eraser"which i find a little more easy to use, you can get it (free) from here excessive-software

Kaspersky also has a tool to remove those ads , download here http://www.avpsea.com/downloads/klstreamremover.zip

1. You should only think about ADS (Alternate Data Streams) if you are running Windows XP AND your drive is NTFS.

Versions of Windows before XP and FAT32 drives do not support ADS, so such systems do not have ADS.

2. KAV 5 attaches ADS to files to increase scanning efficiency. You should only delete KAV's ADS's if you are removing KAV.

how come Kaspersky Personal Pro version 4.5.0.58 better than Kaspersky Personal version 5.0.149 below these : ?

10-25 August 2004
The test was made on 10-25 August 2004, using Windows 2000 SP4 on a CELERON 2400 Mhz, 256MB DDRAM.
All programs tested had the latest versions, upgrades and updates and they were tested using their full scanning capabilities e.g. heuristics, full scan etc.
The 76556 virus samples were chosen using VS2000 according to Kaspersky, F-Prot, RAV, Nod32, Dr.Web, Sweep, BitDefender, E-Trust and McAfee antivirus programs. Each virus sample was unique by virus name, meaning that AT LEAST 1 antivirus program detected it as a new virus.
ALL virus samples were unpacked and the only samples that were kept were the ones that were packed using external-dos-packers (that means not winzip, winrar, winace etc).
The virus samples had the correct file extension using a special program (Renexts) and were unique, according to checksum32 filesize.
Most "fake" virus samples were removed, as well as "garbage" files.
The program PER was not tested because there was no english demo version available.
The programs BOClean , VET , Titan , RisingAV , Ikarus and Freedom were not tested because there was no demo version available.
The program InVircible did not include a "typical" scanner-function and could not be tested.
The program V-Catch checks only mail accounts and could not be tested.
The following file types were used.

BAT, ΒΙΝ, CLA, CLASS, CLS, COM, CSC, DAT, DOC, ELF, EML, EXE, HLP, HQX, HTA, HTM, IMG, INF, INI, JS, MAC, MDB, MSG, OLE, PHP, PIF, PL, PPT, PRC, REG, SCR, SH, SHS, SMM, STI, TD0, TPU, VBA, VBS, WBT, XLS, XMI, XML.

The virus samples were divided into these categories, according to the type of the virus :

File = BeOS, FreeBSD, Linux, Palm, OS2, Unix, BinaryImage, BAS viruses.
MS-DOS = MS-DOS and HLL*. viruses.
Windows = Win.*.* viruses.
Macro = Macro and Formula viruses.
Malware = DoS, Constructors, Exploit, Flooders, Hoax, Jokes, Nukers, Sniffers, Spoofers, Virus Construction Tools, Virus Tools, Corrupted, Droppers, Intended, PolyEngines.
Script = BAT, Corel, HTML, Java, Scripts, VBS, WBS, Worms, PHP, Perl viruses.
Trojans-Backdoors = Trojan and Backdoor viruses.

Thanks to your link to www.toptenreviews.com, I discovered http://www.virusbtn.com/, an independent website that evaluate AV.

No doubt BitDefender is an excellent AV based on the review from www.toptenreviews.com. However, the point counting system is based on 'Feature Set', 'Ease of use', 'Ease of setup', 'Help/Documentation' & 'Effectiveness'. To be able to be selected as the best AV, it must be an all-rounder. But my many concern when choosing an AV are
(1) EFFECTIVENESS - this is what AV supposed to do
(2) USE AS LITTLE SYSTEM RESOURCE AS POSSIBLE
I don't care much about non-necessary feature, ease of use or whether the company is giving 24h online toll-free support or not.

To compare the effectiveness, you can visit Virus Bulletin (An independent website) http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/archives/products.xml .

A VB 100% award denotes that the product in question showed, in its default mode, 100 per cent detection of In the Wild test samples and no false positives in a selection of clean files.

I've selected some of the results(pass means receive VB 100% award):
PC-Cilin: : 11 passes / 7 fails (out of 18 tests, 7 failed or 7/18=39% failed)
Norton: 26 passes / 6 fails (out of 32 tests, 6 failed or 6/32=19%)
BitDefender: 5 passes / 6 fails (55% failed)
Kaspersky: 24 passes / 13 fails (35% failed)
AVG:6 passes / 20 fails (77% failed)
F-Prot:12 passes / 7 fails (37% failed)
NOD32:29 passes / 3 fails (9% failed)
McAfee: : 18 passes / 17 fails (48% failed)
Normon: 25 passes / 11 fails (31% failed)

You can see that NOD32 has the highest 'in the wild' virus detection rate. I switch to NOD few months ago when Norton failed to serve me well after 5 years of using it. Another good news is that NOD is extremely light on system resources (mine using PIII 600) and my PC hang less. You might say I'm a bit bias towards NOD but I tried to show you the real statistics. An Virus Bulletin is an independent site testing on AV periodically. You decide the best AV for you!!!

I can't believe that those crappy Norton AV can have such a low 19% failing rate!!!!!! I downloaded some small programs/ jokes/ games and save it to CDR. After switching to NOD, it detected my CDR contains virus, which was not detected by Norton AV before.

as i know, not all ADS tags can b remove from our driver, and once ADS tags in ur driver u cant remove it unless u format it. ya,ADS files is to increaing the scanning efficiency but i didnt notice that the scanning performance doesnt change,and ADS tag may cause system unstable such as system restore cant function. do have any ways to prevent ADS tag to install to our driver and the pro version oso got the ADS tag capability?

as for other characterestic, such as interface, scanning speed, memory consumption, update etc, AVG7 works like a charm!

After evaluating Kaspersky AV, It's strongly detect some virus from my previous Panda AV7. But the scanning process is very fussy (esp full scanning). While full scanning I was ask for password protect application. That means I cannot AFAIK for frequent fussy question during scanning.

After removing & installing back to Panda AV7, suprisingly its detect virus than Kaspersky.

i need to have some feedback
between AVG and Kapersky (Free Edition only)
which is more better?
I mean in term of catching/detecting viruses...
Resources so on...

speed doesn't matter

cause so far I thought of downloading Kapersky and testing it out but I think i better ask opinions from you guys 1st.. I am currently using AVG cool.gif

get Kapersky cracked version of torrent...

then use it for boot time scan / full system scanning. dun let it monitor ur computer, use other antivirus instead.

its all because kapersky is a resource hog.....

and akira de aimbuster, u rock because u use Avast 4.5 Home Edition

I am using Norton System Work and Norton Internet Security 2005 for so many years. I found it ok but the computer need 512MB RAM because Norton need more system resource. If player who have 256MB ram, I suggest that you all should try other antivirus program. HeHeHe!!!As for now, norton has improve the program, it take less system resource as compare to previous version Norton product.

I dont like to use antivirus software.. coz slow down my PC..

Last time I tried Panda Platinum 7.0.. not bad but also slow down my PC..
Then move to Avast....lagi teruk.. slow like hell at the start up

Thenafter, reformatted my PC and I didnt use for antivirus software since then.

Recently, I suspected my PC was infected by virus. I tried PC-Cillin Internet Security 2005.. not bad also... but also slow down my PC... uninstalled...

Then try Kaspersky.. hmmmm.... ok... I still able to use my PC even the scanning is running.....did not slow down my pc while scanning... however, take about 4 hours to scan....

Finally I read the comment here about NOD32 and I tried... Very good, use less memory and CPU resources... and I believe is the best among all I have tried in term for the start-up speed...

Detection rate is very good........

my roommate is using NOD32 but the last time i used his pc, he still has that blaster thingy tongue.gif prolly haven't update or something

by the way anyone using ZoneAlarm? Download.com gave a 5 star rating in their review for both ZoneAlarm Antivirus and Firewall.

the word "greatest" cannot be simply used as u never try all other solutions yet
6 months without any viruses is not a great achievement, i think most of us can do it also...it is highly depend on the way you surf the net

Prevent is better than cure
browse web carefully, and always monitor your PC(I use winpatrol), set up uber firewall, any data attemp to come into must have my permition, downdload software from official webpage instead of mirror, or fully trustable webpage like cnet, zdnet etc.

If you feel you got hacked, or something strange to your PC cut the wire off

How to effectively blockout ads, viruses, trojans etc?

1. Have a firewall in place
2. Patch your OS, especially Win2k and XP to the latest security patches
3. Install an anti-virus software and update regularly
4. Don't browse pornograhpic or websites that can potentially install spywares/adwares on your PC
5. Becareful when opening un-identified emails

Those are just basic preventions. As for which anti virus software is the best, there's no definite answer to it. Usually how user PC infected by virus? I will blame it on the users. Users just don't have the knowledge to protect themselves. Once infected by viruses, they blame it somewhere else.

Just to let you know, as a professional user, my PC was never infected by any viruses or spywares for around a year. Believe it or not. User awareness! Prevent is better than cure. Not all anti virus software is 100% effective...

2) use teh firefox
3) stick with good anti-spyware/adware/virus softwares..
4) remember to update ur windows

actually the greatest AV is call "Rising Antivirus" but only available in china...some ONLY lincensed user can update...

come to us no choice but to use Kaspersky or nod32

Kaspersky is good but have side effect while playing pc game...
NOD32 no problem at all but detection not strong enough...

i think nod32 is the best.. NOD32 Earns Its Record Setting 29th Virus Bulletin 100% Award. It's scanning speed is superb fast and accurate. and it dun eat many resources

I'm using AntiVir Personal AV, ZoneLab, and Ad-Aware SE.

Life has been better since i used it. Especially with the combination of AntiVir AV & Ad-Aware. Both software seem to work well. Whenever i fun Ad-Aware to scan for adware, AntiVir would automatically detect the file and promptly ask the user to delete or quarantine.

ZoneLab is also a good firewall s/w. But sometimes it can cause my PC to hang.

There is no more Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal Pro 5.0 for rm35 when i am about to purchse it.

So have to purchase it through the homepage?

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal Pro 5.0 for USD66.50
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal 5.0 for USD41.50

But it is for per year like norton?If is per year, USD66.50 would be sweat.gif for home user.

And it it unlike mcafee can install 2 pcs for a package?
3 pcs for home users : USD66.50 x 3 doh.gif

if u r using NTFS partition, kaspersky will filled its ADS tag to file after scaning to speed up scan process in the future. but there's a cons. u waste a 'little' space to fill up with the ADS tag.

You dun have to worry about NOD32, Nod32 have established themselves as one of the best AV out there. Winning more awards than any other AV for VB100% since 1998. Passed the ICSA Labs criterium, and the only AV that has never missed a single 'in the wild' virus. And it also have a small footprint, the fastest scanning engine, and consume very little memory.

me using AVG also , working great but thats because my system is not been infected by virus for a long long time thumbup.gif

this "which anti virus is the best" thing is crap , the most important thing is to keep track on what u do on the net and also update the definition file frequently and u'll be fine with any Antivirus software smile.gif

ps: although I must admit some antivirus software can do better than other ,but if u think carefully, the chances of u getting a virus is very few if u dont simply download stuff , and the chances of u getting a virus that ur antivirus software cant handle is even less

i got some question to ask ,and i was plan to make a poll ,but since we cant open a new topic about AV ,then never mind.

if you wanna install a new AV ,will u uninstall the old one then on9 and update the new one ,

or

install and update the new AV ,then baru uninstall the old one?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i think most people will choose 1st option ,but will anyone do the 2sd option?

will it safer?i scare the two AV will fight each other ...

yeah, my norton Corp editon cant do tat,but Anti-Vir can detect (use it in Office), i'm confused, so many ppl recommend so many anti-viruses in this thread, i d/l Kaspersky,seems like resource hog, loading time also lag, anti-vir seems ok , maybe will use that to replace my ageing symantec corp 2000

just tried bit defender 8 pro, DAMN it was HELL !!!, first all it was a resource hogger (44 MB), and then the trouble i had to go through just to remove it !!!!, startup of Windows was slow, so I tried to stop it from running, then tooook a looong time and then i couldnt even open My Computer !, tried removing it but tat didnt help, halfway thru it displayed the BSOD and quickly restarted my PC, further attempts of removing it again proved unsuccessful,so i tried a system resote bcoz maybe my reg corrupted, tat didnt work either, system restore failed to restore and now i deleted it manually, but I still can't delete 1 file 'bdshelxt.dll', it says access denied and tat a prog might be using it, it's the shell extension file for bit defender i think, ialready removed all it's components from starting up but can't seem 2 del tthis file, anyway it might be tat this prob is happening bcoz of either my Rig (office PC actually biggrin.gif) is 2 slow (i doubt it though coz Chip tested this s/w on a 566 mhz celeron and amd athlon 1.2 ghz, and rated this s/w as best performer and best value for money),my specs here is 1.6 Ghz,512 ddr-sdram....,so maybe registry got corrupted wat, anyway maybe i will install kapersky (worried abt those 'ADS' thingy and slow bootup time) or Anti-vir for my home PC

edit: found out thru Bit Defender site on how to remove the file and completely uninstall it thumbup.gif

Try
kaspersky 2006, the ads function has been dropped.

Personally I am still using the kaspersky 3.5 version smile.gif, same detection rate, update daily, low memory usage, what could ask for 366MHz celeron CPU smile.gif,

Last time i'm using AVG antivirus but not very function for detect trojan. Now using AVAST antivirus Free Edition so far it's okay can detect virus or trojan. Firewall just using Zone Alarm.

I was testing AVAST, and i noticed that the speed of downloading in limewire being reduced tremendously to 4-5KBps (compared to 40-50KBps before this)

I uninstalled it and install antivir back, everything back to normal

Anyone can clarify this with me?

I have the firewall, I have spyware scanners already

turn on - wait ages, slows pc down alooot with kaspersky busy scanning.

Which anti-virus doesnt run in the background when the computer starts? I just wanted to scan my computer occasionally when I feel like it.
I never use anti-virus for years and never been hit by any of them. Currently using Ad-aware + ZoneAlarm +Winpatrol to protect my system.
Another question, do u think online virus scanner work as good as those normal scanner? If it is then I don't have to install any anti-virus then. thumbup.gif

Did you guys notice that most online virus scanners that scans the whole PC (not those that just uploads file/s for scanning) only work with ActiveX Enabled Browsers like IE.
Are there any of these scanners that work with Firefox, Opera, Nescape and other similar browsers?

i thought the antivirus will automatic quarantine ur file. huh.gif

to delete it open ur antivirus and look for quarentine folder and look for the virus file and then delete it manually.

i am using Avast antivirus more then 4 months, and i found that it wasnt that reliable, for an example,

Avast said i have been infected by some virus, then it didnt ask me weather i want to delete or do other things else. it just notice me. then i do the scanning and the total infected file is = 0, i cant find where the virus locate and dont know weather its still there or not.

will it be auto delete and avast is that reliable? pls write ur comments

I think it got your virus quarantined. BTW, does Avast or NOD32 got spyware protection built in ? Coz i just installed Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition Ver 10.. it got realtime antivirus and spyware protections.

Anyways, I didn't read the previous post cuz its 22 pages long...

Hmm, I recently switched from zonelabs to AVG and AVG detected 7 trojans on my comp where ZL previously can't.. so I prefer AVG .. besides it uses fewer resources than ZL and its FREE ~~

same here, i am using nod32 on my office pc(P3with 192mb ram), and kaspersky on my P4.(1gb ram). Still wondering why nod32 can scan so fast than other antivirus.well, so far, nod32 2.5 works fine for me in my office.

i hv jst switch to kaspersky from Bitdeffender.(for my home pc)

Bitdeffender, in general is good, but sometimes its uses much resources to do the real time scan, for example, when double clicking My Computer, i can feel the lag. First i tot was my hardisk failing, after some test and removing bit defender, the lag was gone.

Install Kaspersky after that. Kaspersky looks fine, there is some lag, but not as lag as bitdeffender or Norton antivirus 2005(i used the trial version of Norton2005). But becareful of the detection rate, a detection rate of 100% doesnt mean the antivirus is good, we still hv to becareful about false detection(which the antivirus might be mistaken and deletes some of ur crucial files).

Bitdeffender has one of the best engine and thats why there is a software which combines both bitdeffender and kaspersky engines together.(well,bitdeffender maybe will lag my system, not sure about other user).

well, there might be a trade off between system resources and prevention+detection rates.

my question is, anyone try this b4?

well, i did install trial panda platinum edition 2005 on my P3 pc few months ago, uninstall it after few days. It claims to be very low in resources usage.

the main problem is not stable for my windows 98SE. It also slow down my pc performance.(using P3 with 192 ram + Windows 98SE)

Well, haven tested it on any WinXP based pc, maybe it will work fine on WinXP.

i agree with that. for me panda is a very sensitive antivirus. sikit sikit then consider as virus. doh.gif even i use kaspersky cant find any virus but panda can. i wonder how sure they r bcoz kaspersky has better detection rate compare to panda.

panda is a good anti virus software if use it in company,not like symantec(hate it).... vmad.gif
it can auto detect unknow virus,i think is a good service,coz in offcie 365day,24h,7day
the system was on and the server was on,somehow connect to internet,once online you and me also d't know will got new virus or unknow virus attack to you system and you server.so i think panda can detect unknow virus and worm coz this reason(maybe lar)

now our company try switch to panda anti virus(corporate use)biggrin.gif

kaspersky also is a good anti virus, really thumbup.gif
our also think b4 want use it, but panda got branch office in malaysia,which mean in malaysia got they enginner support and the price also thumbup.gif and 24h update thumbup.gif

tell this to the western people around america and they say heck no,

unless ur giving out proofs, usefull advice, statements about this particular antivirus, i'd say every antivirus is the best (suits each different people, people can still say norton is the best if they think it is) [taikoh, next time elaborate, we dunno whats great about kapersky]

Kapersky is strong regarding virus database and stable scan engine, but however its a bit resource hogging

Nod32 did a great job on resource hogging free(scan engine is fast, but not as great as kapersky), but i was wondering, if anyone use an antivirus for protection, why would we want to scan our computer weekly or monthly?

kaspersky the best of virus detection if compare with other antivirus, strong virus database, engine and etc... but as what "up" said, little resource suxker. lolz!

nod32 i use so far so good, other then nod32, what i can recommend is kaspersky only!

but the detection of kaspersky and nod32 i think is quite equal...

do testing between this two av before...

clone a virus effected harddisk

use nod32 and kaspersky scan

1st) kaspersky then nod32

2nd) nod32 then kaspersky

1st result: cleaned
2nd result: cleaned

hmm, in my opinion, the most of the antivirus, thier realtime scan is not as efficient(in term of Detecting and Cleaning) as the conventional scan engine.So thats why we still hv to conduct a full system scan weekly or monthly.

well, maybe norton beefed up thier Real Time Scan, thats why it uses up so many resources.

just extra wear and tear on the hdds... bah.. just cauz ur pagefile is large doesnt mean windows will fill it up. however, if a small pagefile is filled up and theres not enough, what happens? i think windows always tries to 'finish using' ram before using the pagefile, at least to an extent tongue.gif

i dont know why, ive been 'purging' so many computers of viruses and spyware... even though their norton AV is the latest update, alot of viruses cannot be removed by it... the funny thing was it even entered the system in the 1st place...
ive clean their computers and installl MS antispyware [for its auto scanning] and mcafee for them... never hear from them again (which is good, cauz it means no more problesm biggrin.gif)

nonono....i mean, they only update the virus database for live update once a week.

QUOTE
The Intelligent Updater is updated daily, while the LiveUpdate definitions are usually updated weekly.

During a major threat outbreak, however, the LiveUpdate definitions are updated as needed.

Many of the definitions that are added to the daily (Intelligent Updater) definitions are not in the wild, or if they are, they have a very low incidence of infection.

So, while the Intelligent Updater may provide a slightly greater level of protection for a few days (until the zoo and low-level threats are added to the weekly LiveUpdate definitions), for most customers, the protection that is provided by LiveUpdate is more than adequate..


Intelligent Updater = manual update

I feel that Kaspersky Antivirus 5 set at Maximum protection is the best for the following reasons:

- Updates DAILY (sometimes a few hours got new update)
- Scans for ALL KINDS OF VIRUS (most antivirus softwares like Norton and McAfee only give you updates based on your regional settings)
- Has intelligent scan ability (dosent scan same file the next time u run scan unless its been modified, thus reducing scan time; unlike mcafee or norton which totally dosent scan certain file types cos they think its an uncommon virus target)
- Scans all files in all types of archives (eg. .zip , .cab, etc etc)
- Real time scan will scan all files in the folder automaticly as u open the folder, it does this in the background, this will stop viruses even before you open the file
- Has won the best antivirus software award many many times
- Held a competition where they challenged hackers and programmers to try and make a virus that defeats Kaspersky..... nobody sucseeded.

The only bad thing about it is, the real time scan sometimes causes computer start up to be slower, and also sometimes causes the opening of folders to be slower.

Another bad thing is, Kaspersky Antivirus and Zone Alarm Firewall tends to clash, this will cause your com to crash and it'll give you BSOD even in XP !! I dunno abt other ppl, but this happens to me, so now i use Kaspersky Antivirus 5.0 and Kaspersky Anti Hacker 1.7 (Firewall).
