Administrator Lite Posted July 13, 2005 Administrator Share Posted July 13, 2005 Anyways, the bigger the company, the more is its manpower, the better its vrius definitions will be. :lol:Sorry i would concur on this ocassion.Its known that Kaspersky has the best overall detection (for quite a few years now) of virus/ trojans/ worms etc.The current symantec products also have the following other flaws (i would hope they would correct these problems in the future):* Lack of unpacking skills (for detecting variants of malware and runtime packed variants of malware)* Poor hueristics (for detecting unknown threats), although these are improving* Resource hungry operation (although, this has improved in the 2005 and the future 2006 versions of the home products)* Only weekly updates of virus definitions (malware can stay on ones system for along time before being detected)However, the the detection ratios of norton products are amoung the top 5 of all the products around - props to them for this.I really do hope symantec take things like this into account when developing future products, i'm sure the updates situation will be changed pretty soon, as macafee will be issueing daily updates for virus definitions.Peace out...

preso Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I use Kaspersky. 8 or more signature updates per day and a verrrryyy good detection rate. Only antiviruskit has a better, but it's very slow.Kaspersky is the best non-heuristic, NOD32 is still the best heuristic detection.You can set sigs update to every (hour). Standard setting is every 3 hour that's why get 8 times connected to kav vir database.What do you meant by very slow?...startup?...on-demand scan?...program startup?

Administrator Lite Posted November 1, 2005 Administrator Share Posted November 1, 2005 No. Windows 98 has serious flaws that never can be fixed. Win 2000 and above is much better and has less flaws in its core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I used Panda X edition for about 2 years, but as my computer got older it began to become annoyance on my system resources. Very effective but it comes with a few problems here and there. I have not used a virus program for about 4 months and i havn't had any problems yet. I use AdWatch though and that seems to iron out anything suspicious. I do online virus scan about once every 2 moths and get nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anteus Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I was using NOD32 for 1 year, but the latest KAV has bigger virus database and i havn't noticed slower performance when switching from NOD32 to KAV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amplify Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 NOD32 has been more than sufficient and my love for its small footprint also helps my choice. I've yet to be affected by viruses and when I have wandered obscure sites (mostly software related) it has caught up with the nasty trojans before anything gets out of hand so for now, I remain ever loyal to NOD32. I used to use BitDefender awhile back, useful but rather resource-hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grogs Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 People still use Norton and McAfee? I stopped using Norton about 5 years ago. NOD32 is my AV of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doritos Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I use Avira AntiVir, very good and it's very light for your system also.But it isn't on the list ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonimontana Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I've used almost all the antivirus out there (kaspersky, bitdefender, avast, norton, panda, AVG, f-secure, pc-cillin etc). I've been using NOD32 for 3 years now and have not got a virus or spyware on my PC. NOD32 is very light on resources and can detect and remove all kinds of viruses including spywares and adwares. For safe PC, use opera or firefox, NOD32 and outpost or zonealarm firewall. I highly recommend NOD32! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaveRider Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hi, for those still using Symantec Anti-Virus and unable to update, try this. It worked for a friend, but this was more than a year or so.Locally using KAV6 with some *Vitamins, Ginseng and what not... will upgrade soon though. But with a little of experience & paranoia, the AV is only used on demand, while browsing is dealt with some data & packet filtering. On personal experience, no infection to date AFAIK, except laziness from reading the whole license agreement (no information on ad-ware on their page & AV did not detect at that time) of a program, did installed the files to produce ad-ware, but apparently it failed to advertise. There's always the encounter of shady files, but as long as they can be detected, is what it counts. *Note:taking into mind is some other periodic checks with other tools for security issues.
