| 418506 | 2006-01-18 01:45:00 | [QUOTE=lightfoot]NOD does not scan deep inside archives thus uses less resource. QUOTE] Actually you can define in the scanner setup whether or not you want NOD32 to scan archives, self extractors etc and you can also define the scanning "methods" [signatures, heuristics, spyware, etc]. :nerd: |

| 418507 | 2006-01-18 02:27:00 | NOD32 by far . I've used or tried most of the others . As has been said before, it's no use grabbing any old review from a commercial publication, or whatever, they all have aggendas, hence the ones that still insist on Nortons being the best thing since sliced bread . If you want analysis of anti-virus programmes, subscribe to Virus Bulletin ( . virusbtn . com/login" target="_blank">www . virusbtn . com), tootle around ICSA labs ( . icsalabs . com/icsa/icsahome . php" target="_blank">www . icsalabs . com) and use the links, Wilders . org ( . wilders . org/anti_viruses . htm" target="_blank">www . wilders . org) (who don't even list Nortons) or any number of other security related sites . The problem is, even if they're not commercial sites/organisations, they all need revenue either through subscription and sales or sponsership, ie . how can you be sure they're credible? BTW, lightfoot, why the FH would NOD put an options to scan applications, runtime packers and self extracting archives in their programme if the function to scan such files not there?? If you keep on repeating that it doesn't have those capabilities, despite being told it does, will they disappear from my NOD32 programme, thus making you correct? For firewall, I use Kerio (or Guardog on Linux), but ZA seems to be ok for most people . |

| 418510 | 2006-01-19 04:18:00 | What about AVG?How good is it? | Ninjabear (2948) | ||
| 418511 | 2006-01-19 05:43:00 | Very good.As I can attest | Cicero (40) | ||
| 418512 | 2006-01-19 08:15:00 | What about AVG?How good is it? Not bad for a freeby. Have only had to use NOD32 twice, in 1 year, over the network to clean out the family PC when thing got a bit much for AVG. |

| 418513 | 2006-01-19 09:54:00 | Not bad for a freeby . I agree with Murray P, we have it install on all most all our PC here at home now . |

| 418514 | 2007-09-18 06:17:00 | In my opinion and experience, definitely Kaspersky Lab! If your guys do not believe, www.pcworld.com I have bought it from Trademe. Firstly I just wonder why low price than normal? i send email ask them, they reply as an authorized reseller. |
