my personal opinion is NORTON it is very good ...it slows down system but
with recent very high speed processors it doesnt look like a prob..
rest is very good...
elec-eng, I don't believe in what here said about kaspersky antivirus.
I recently used this software. I have 40G HDD, and the scan time of my HDD was approx 1 hour. I don't believe this table.
Professional packages like Norton, Mcafee and PC-Cillin watches the kernel level. So it gives high protection against Kernel Tampering, boot virus and background virus. As the security level is high, the PC speed may slightly reduce.
For modern PCs this wont make big difference.
We cant expect a full kernel level security from a freeware of few MB.
Using a most popular Antivirus provides good support in package updates and virus definitions.
Hi!
I serve about hundred computers in firms monthly and also private users.
I can suggest in the order from the experience:
1.NOD32
a)on the advantage:
-a lot of memory does not take,
-the good heuristics
-effectiveness
-frequent actualizations
2.Kaspersky
a)on the advantage
-removing some rootkits
-effectiveness
b)on the disadvantage
-conflicts with different software
-problems with de -installation
3.Norton
a)but for Corporate Symantec Client Security
Panda...hmmmm, tragedy in seven acts...
100 % protection do not have beyond this.
Is additionally to apply Ewido or Spybot with TeaTimer well.
There is the mistake of the projection in Spybot by factory when the Resident is turned on but one using Resource Hacker e.g. can remove him.
Norton is bloated smoking pile of sh*t, if you ask for my opinion. Halts any computer to a crawl unless you have at least 512MB of RAM and that is insane requirement for such application. Go for Kaspersky AV. Version 5 is more than enough, IMHO.
