I have been using Norton Anti Virus (various versions) for a long time. But it has been a compromise between decent detection performance, popularity, regular updates on one hand and system resources hogging on the other. Recently I installed NAV 2005 on a friend's computer and such was the slow down of system performance that now I am seriously thinking of an alternative. I have tried PC-Cillin, McAfee, AVG, Panda. But I stuck to NAV anyway.
However I have my doubts as Kasperesky and F-secure are really not talked about product.
1. If the above mentioned site is reliable?
2. Is there any other reliable recent test results available online?
3. Was there any testing reviews in DIGIT recently and if yes which issue?
4. What are your thoughts about Kaspersky and F-secure?
5. Which AV program u think is the best?
P.S: If there is any discussion thread like this here, please point me there. I searched but too many results came up (258).
I'm using NAV 2005 from the past 4 days. It runs exactly the same as before, though start up time has increased by about a whole minute. Anyway, what I did like most about it is that it has 'internet worm protection' which is pretty nifty. Of course it doesn't come upto Zonealarm's standards, but i've found Zonealarm to be better suited for paranoids. So i find NAV presently as the best of both worlds.
GNUrag I know ur a big fan of Linux and i do use mandrake, but rite now i am not in position for changing my computing habbits. So I am stuck with virii, so if u have any good suggession regarding this topic i will very much appreciate it.
AVG is a nice alternative. Go to http://www.grisoft.com or search thru some Digit DVD/CD for AVG. I think it is there in one of the recent ones. Install it and update the virus definitions thru net.
well u see the other threads then the points go to kaspersky. the the one which got the most revs from ppl.
But if u have dial-up it rocks-coz the updates are soooo fast!!
hey...mariner and mariner 5147...any difference ??
Kaspersky and Panda Titanium.NAV 2005 deleted my cr**ks which have norton in their name. In summary it showed hacking tools..deleted.
