hmm, what is your pc specs when using NAV corporate edition?

coz you are using trial version of the software.
once u hv register and paid for the software, u will be given the username and password

not sure about the beta. The final version, u can download it and trial for 30 days(nod32).

anyone has a review on all antivirus regarding False Detection?

i hv seen reviews stating some False detection in Nod32 compared with other antivirus software in previous release(b4 ver 2.0)

avg would be a good choice for free antivirus

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?

(G Data AntiVirusKit 2005 (AVK)
http://antivirus.about.com/cs/beforeyoubuy/tp/aatpavwin.htm

System requirements:
Pentium, 64 MB RAM, Win 98SE, ME, XP or 2000, CD-ROM
An Internet connection is required for online updates and AVK InternetAmbulance.

well, i am using nod32 2.5. Still evaluating it. Previous versions of nod32 is not very good at cleaning virus. I have some pcs keep poping out the virus alert and request for quaranttine or delete coz it cant clean it. Hope this 2.5 hv some inprovement.

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.

nope, Nod32 does not hv a free version but u can download the trial version(30days) from here : www.nod32.com

for free antivirus, AVG is quite good.

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.

basically kaspersky is not free and u can download the free trial here:

http://www.kaspersky.com/downloads

there is a real time kaspersky web-scanner, which u can scan for free:

http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus

well, u better get an antivirus fast, at least get those free one such as AVG or avast.

for normal users, Pc-cillin 2005 is a good choice. I have been using Pc-cillin for few years after swtiching from norton. It is very effective in cleaning out virus compared to Nod32(before version 2).

Currently using kaspersky on my primary PC and Nod32(2.5) on my secondary pc. So far kaspersky is doing a good job( a bit lag compare with pc-cillin 2005) and the latest nod32 2.5 is doing good also, with its additional spyware scan engine.

bear in mind, the clean engine is also important as it repairs the files and registry and not jst deleting the infected files.

yeah, i installed it(norton 2005) in pc with 1GB of ram, thinking the pc can take the load, still feel laggy.

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.

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

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.

jst get AVG,Avast or antivir. These freebies has auto-updates.
Kaspersky is not a free anti virus software.


1. AVG www.grisoft.com/
2. Avast http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html
