Besides that I wouldnt bother with BD. There are better AV programs around Removal tool can be found here. :- www.computerworld.com urce=rss_latest_content&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+computerworld%2Fnews%2Ffeed+% 28Latest+from+Computerworld%29	Snorkbox (15764)

1239775	2011-11-05 03:47:00	wainuitech First of all if system is infected so bad that you can't access internet, it won't let you install any antivirus either. p.s. BD lets you to do free online scan, without installing a program. I'm with wainuitech on this, that's simply not true that you can't install AV. It's quite easy to download and install via a USB Thumbdrive and most come with semi-updated definitions by default. Also, NOD32 also does the same, but it's pretty much identical to installing it, it just leaves the files in your Program Files directory but won't tell you it's there and doesn't install shortcuts or a resident shield. Ok now about your tests: first of all there is no antivirus that will catch all the viruses, some catch the ones that others can't and so on. if i got it right when you tested both AV-s, first you used BD and then nod right? now try to scan your drive first with nod and then with BD, there also might be some viruses which skipped from nod. Luckily, NOD32 catches the most. I'm yet to see anything that BD detects that NOD doesn't. Feel free to take some screenshots of NOD32 doing a scan, missing things, followed by BD doing a scan on the same machine immediately afterwards, and prove me wrong. I have been using BD total security 2012 for about 3 month and i tested it how it really works, I must mention firewall which blocked all network attacks from one angry "hacker". I visit lots of web pages which are infecting the system and none of the malware programs managed to skip BD. All i'm trying to say is that while i was using BD it worked 100% perfectly. How was the firewall blocking your angry attacker? Either you have an internal ADSL Modem, you're on Dial-Up, you're running a modem in half-bridge / PPPoA -> PPPoE Passthru, or you're confused. You are also saying that it was very slow, well it is slow if you use it on 32bit machine. I have 64bit system with win 7 and it doesn't work slower then any other AV. Just remember that because you have a decent spec machine doesn't mean that others do...	Chilling_Silence (9)
1239776	2011-11-05 03:48:00	It may be bad for an antivirus program that its slow on 32bit machine but in this thread is mentioned business computer and most of the time business computers have capacity to work with the programs which use lot of resources. Finally i hope to test all those things that you said in your posts but before that I still prefer BD to nod, avast, avira ... Not in any of the large businesses I've worked for. Most of them will try go for the lowest-possible cost machine that'll get the job done, then milk that machine for 3-4 years. Anti-Virus can be the life or death of a machine if it consumes too much of the systems resources, and this is regardless of if a machine is running a 32-bit or a 64-bit OS. Makes zero difference to the resources a brand of AV will consume.	Chilling_Silence (9)
1239777	2011-11-05 07:12:00	Here chill, added to your comment :D Most of them will try go for the lowest-possible cost machine that'll get the job done,then milk that machine for 3-4 years past the time it should be replaced or should have died All joking aside, many businesses do have under powered PC's, with a large percentage running 32bit OS's	wainuitech (129)

1239779	2011-11-05 11:37:00	A lot of Southland businesses are still running 7 year old PCs.	Greven (91)

1239781	2011-11-05 15:52:00	:lol: :lol: Well that made my day --- lab tests prove nothing, in the real world is where it matters -- Just ask anyone who sees the so called results all the time, and its exactly opposite to the "awards" -- the award they should get is "total rip off" :D Makes me think just about all Mags are a rip off.	mikebartnz (21)
1239782	2011-11-05 15:54:00	I am starting to see more infections get past NOD32, but so many people in Southland run really old computers that can barely handle 1 realtime scanner let alone 2 so I stick with the best single program for protecting them. It still catches more than any other anti-virus & does it without killing your computer. Amy ID10T knows not to run more than one AV.	mikebartnz (21)
