8 Virus Scanners vs 3 infected files!

Thanks Technod & Wiz for your thoughts. I 've bought a 20 PC license(1 yr) for just 40/- USD !!! This must be the lowest priced AV(not counting free AVG,Avast etc). What really impresed me in F-prot Win is its integrity scanner,
which are costlier options in KAVPro / AdInf(part of DrWeb Suite) but is included "free" at USD 2/PC in F-prot Win !!!

Apart from having 2nd Windows AV scanner(non-resident) as backup, I think having F-prot DOS is a further asset for
Win 98 & XP. I found its better than NOD32 DOS(slow)
& haven't yet tried KAVDos32.

In case ne1 interested in DOS AVs- go here for DOS updaters for KAV,F-prot, Mcafee by Art Kopp :

Hi SKA,

Thanks for telling me about that Integrity scanner for F-Prot.

 

Hi Controler!

I have tested NAV 2003, but the detection rate was not so very well
Last trojan not detected by NAV 2003: NETBUIE

Therefore I stay by DrWeb

Ciao,

Hi Minacross!

I only can give you a general answer on NAV an PCC: PCC has a better trojan detection rate, but I cannot advice NAV neither PCC because their heuristic scanning technique is not as good as should be.

There are much better anti-virus/trojan products.

Ciao,

thanx Smokey,

but what are these "much better anti-virus/trojan products"?

 

I can only write here my PERSONAL opinion, but I have tested almost every virus/trojan scanner on the market and I stay at this moment by one: DrWeb, it has a very strong heuristic scanning and also detects a lot of trojans, other programs don't do or not as good like DrWeb does.

Is not free but if you want a really satisfying virusscanner you have to pay for it.

A good choice too is NOD32, I think DrWeb is more for the user with some experience but like life is: read the manuals (what most people don't do) and there are not many problems with installing and using the software.

You can also take a look at the Wilders virus- an trojan forums to make your own opinion about the available virus/trojans programs on the market and their functionating.

Good luck!
