It apparently topped eveything based on detection rates (what av-comparatives reports on) which I thought was impressive but I later learned it runs four virus scanning engines! (www.download.com) Now that's pretty awesome. Overhead and apparent performance issues aside, it must be pretty cool boasting AV like that.	sal (67)

648564	2008-03-11 21:26:00	Look at this C/P though..... What are the minimum system requirements to run TrustPort Internet Gateway? Minimum requirements for the server: * Windows 2000, Windows 2003 or Windows XP. * Internet Explorer 6. * Pentium III or higher Pentium compatible processor. * At least 512 MB of memory, more memory generally improves performance. * 10 GB free disk space (it is necessary to have enough space to generate logs, the program itself needs approximately 150 MB). * Server that is frond-ended (sic) to the mail server, where the solution will be installed. Or (sic) efficient mail server where the solution will be installed. Minimum requirement for client is a suitable browser application: * Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher * Mozilla 1.6 or higher * FireFox 1.0 or higher Just wish they had the foresight to proofread and grammar-correct the text. I sure don't put a lot of faith in the product to see it all written in Czechlish or Engrish.	SurferJoe46 (51)

That said, another AV report was released a few days ago by av-test.org (av-test.org/) (another oft-quoted source for AV ratings). You can see a rating break down here (http:) but even more interesting is the best to worst AV table (stash.ableapp.com). As with the AV-Comparatives report, the top three here aren't as commonly recommended or to me even known.	sal (67)

Its sys requirements read like a games lol	beeswax34 (63)
648567	2008-03-15 05:00:00	Those requrements are for "TrustPort Internet Gateway", if you read your own post. Doesn't sound like an antivirus product to me. I think someone's got the wrong sys req. list	Agent_24 (57)
