AlienForce1 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 First of all hi to everybody here at NsaneForums ! From my experience nod32 is better than avast! (for the moment) : better heuristics and lower impact on computer - and the latest nod32 5.0.65 (I am using it on one laptop) is really a great product that can improve the way that people will think about Eset products . But we can expect avast! to improve much in the next period ( ~ 1 year ) as they have the largest base of users worldwide (so they can collect - and analise - malware samples easyer ) and I see that they decided ( finally ) to invest massive in developping and implementing new technology in their products ( remember the great improvement from v.4.8 to v.5.0 ) .I think that both companies will have to do something about their firewalls - they are almost as bad as the windows firewall - I`m sure that everybody here have seen the matousec`s tests :http://www.matousec.com/projects/proactive-security-challenge/results.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkool123 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 Would you consider using eset smart security 5,as your main antivirus.Being in beta stage would it offer less protection than version 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienForce1 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Would you consider using eset smart security 5,as your main antivirus.Being in beta stage would it offer less protection than version 4?I wouldn`t recommend to anyone (except my enemyes) to use Eset Smart Security (any version) - their firewall really sucks ! Look here and you will understand :http://www.matousec.com/projects/proactive-security-challenge/results.phpYou should use nod32 antivirus - and yes I recommend you to use 5.0.65 ( I didn`t have any problems with this version - and for me it`s a GREAT IMPROVEMENT from previous versions) - with really A GOOD FIREWALL - and here choose between Comodo Firewall 5.4.189822 (highly recommended) , Online Armor Free 5.0.0.1097 , Privatefirewall 7.0.24.8 and PC Tools Firewall Plus 7.0.0.123 - all of them free .And I have seen greater detection rate at 5.0.65 than 4.2.71 version (and more security options) ...Another sollution could be Outpost Security Suite Free 7.1.1.3431.520.1248 - but here you have to use it without nod32 ( Outpost`s Suite has realtime antivirus scanner - with VB100 awards! )If you prefer the paid ones consider : - Outpost Firewall Pro 7.1.3415.520.1247 (http://www.agnitum.com/dl/OutpostProInstall-exe) (recommended)- Online Armor Premium 5.0.0.1097 (http://download9.emsisoft.com/OnlineArmorSetup.exe)- Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 12.0.0.374 ( obviously use it without nod32 )- Online Solutions Security Suite 1.5.14905.0 (http://www2.online-solutions.ru/en/download_file.php?p=131124) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopierkatze Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I think there is no use for a firewall at all...I just use NOD32 Antivirus, and it always worked reliably, and, what's most important: It won't slow down your system too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KotaXor Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I have no AV installed on one of my desktop.....firefox browser with some add-on for the past two years.Did a scan once in a while with Malwarebytes.....so far no problem.Eset AV is installed on the other two pc.....till today, also no problem except for some false positive.So I guess its a matter of choice and how you surf.
