antivir personal classic

[theshadow247]

does eny know of test results of antivir.i would like to see how it stands up to payed av's like kav.nod32.drweb. and others.av comparatives doesn't have results for the classic version just premium..

The virus detection should be the same, but Antivir free lacks spyware detection (among other things like fast update servers, full pop3 email scanning, etc.).

looks like propaganda

[theshadow247]

thanks for the link.EliteKiller.what do you mean propaganda.C.S.J.the reason iam asking is that my nod32 is coming up for renewal and if i can use a free av with detections that are as good or better why not.i still have kis for 9 months.so no hurry..

[trjam]

Use Antivir classic and Superantispyware free.

[theshadow247]

thanks.trjam.i already have superantispyware pro.not to put you on the spot but.do you think the protection in the classic version is as good as nod32 ?

[trjam]

No, but if I were going to fork out the money, before I renewed Nod, I would get the preminum edition of Antivir. Then you are protected by the true best.

ive trialed the premium version in the past but it was a bit ruff on my system.not that it slowed my comp but while doing a scan it seemed to rattle my harddrive around.i find diffrent av's have diffrent effects on my system but not other people's.but strangley anough the classic version is fine...

[trjam]

how long since you trialed it. I have found the AV and the suite to be the lightest out their. Trust me, the AV is alot kinder then a lot of them to your PC. Try it again, I bet you will be surprised. And very soon it will have rootkit detection and removal. Plus it does what SAS is needed for. Personally with a good router, Aviras PE is all you need.

thanks.trjam.is been about five or months sins i had it installed.i will give it another try though.antivir is realy stepping it up.

[trjam]

I think you will be surprised and if you arent, well then, you just do whatever you feel is in your best interest. Take care my friend.

Would antivir free and SAS pro be the same coverage as antivir premium? Of course without the mail scanner, but I'm thinking it would be pretty good.

True, but with some of the mail I get from my fans, well the mail scanner sure comes in handy.

[theshadow247]

for the email scanning in nod32 is only for outlook.wich i dont use enyways.so thats not a real big deal.i use my service providers email that they scan.so antivir is looking better and better..

I am using Antivir PP and Prevx1 for real-time, works wonder, no system drawback at all. little overlapping though, Prevx1 overlap with everything anyway

Antivir PE would go perfectly with Prevx1

Thanks coldplay. I use AVG Pro now, and have no problems. I just miss the user interface that Antivir PE has, and feel more protected with it's RealTime Protection.
