Avast & Boclean

[chaos16]

ive tries Avria premium i don't like it that much.

the only thing i like about it is the detection its the best but still.


One that i like was Avast was quite happy with it but it doesn't have such a good detction as others.


Would i have a better detection if i put Boclean with avast.

If i have those 2 would it be better protection than having Avria by it self

Without any comparison between the two AVs, yes you would be safer to include BoClean or other anti-malware with Avast. Such a combination should give you a relatively secure system.

Of course, using one's head is necessary no matter what AV is used.

If that combination runs well then go for it.

I currently use avast + BOClean and they run well together. I dont know how much BOClean improves detection though.

Check the official Avira Premium forum. 4th down on here http://forum.avira.com/thread.php?threadid=30097

Hi,
The scanning time depends on how many files/archives you scan.
Because you run BoClean you can expect conflicts with AntiVir and performance issues. This setup is not recommended and doesn't provide additional safety, but contrary.

I think that these tests are still germane in such discussions. Take them for what you consider them worth.

I see no reason that the principles should not apply now. It is noted that some AVs gained much more than some others that were better at detecting trojans, etc.
