Kaspersky alternative

Hi ,
My anti-virus is 'Kaspersky anti-virus version 5' and works well , except that it scans everything and when I open a folder (especially if it's the folder where I put the '.exe' files downloaded by softwares) , and I have to wait from 10 seconds to 2 minutes sometimes before I can do anything.
When I want to make a scan of a document , 'KAV' scans what the scanner does so this one stops with an error and I have to stop Kaspersky , block Internet by means of my firewall (I'm permanently connected to Internet by a router) , then power-off the scanner , power-on , then launch scanner soft and retry all.
I've tried KAV version 6 , but it's worse , because I can't use any firewall (otherwise I can't connect to Internet).
I've also tried 'Kaspersky Internet Security 6' , but there's no firewall in this soft (impossible to block Internet) and no anti-spyware can work even with KIS6 stopped.
So , I should be happy if anybody could recommend an anti-virus efficient and which lets me work with my computer without disabling this anti-virus.
Thank's a lot ,
emile

 

Re: Kaspersky altrenative

i dont fully understand your question here,

but kaspersky internet security 6 DOES have a firewall, its called anti-hacker.
kaspersky will scan whatever you set it to,
firewalls do work with KAV 6, you have not set it right.. maybe try a tutorial.
kaspersky scans for adware / spyware etc etc already.
if your behind a router 'with firewall', you dont need a firewall unless you want application control

im behind a router with nat firewall, and i use dr.web with no problems with anything so far, there are many antivirus softwares out there, and also many suites... i suggest you try a few trials and see which you like best.

antivirus that maybe you could try:

AntiVir
Nod32
dr.web
norton 2007
avg

suites id recommend are:

f-secure 2007
norton 2007
trend micro 2007
avg 7.5


good luck, and hope you find one that you like and 'does what you want it to'

 

im not quite sure what you mean eiether.
i installed kaspersky internet secuirty 6.0 yesterday on my main pc and its working like a charm.
antihacker is the firewall.

if you have problem with it then ask at the kaspersky forums here
http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showforum=4
they can help you sort it out.

You shouldn't have this many problems with any antivirus program.
Disabling the antivirus defeats the purpose.
You should go to the Kaspersky forum and see what they suggest for helping you solve the problem.

 

Hi emile77 !

If you are unhappy with your current product , try eset NOD32 .
Information about it can be found here

 

Nah, I would go with this.

 

we could do this all day,

yeah but i would go with this

lol

 

But we wont.

 

i would just go to the kaspersky forum ask there and if you cant get it sorted out then for for alternatives.

Are you sure ?

 

Have you configured KAV to 'concede resources to other applications'?

(that's what they call it in KAV 6, though there is bound to be a similar feature in KAV 5)

 

No such feature in 5.0............and actually some for example on dual core have noticed a better performance with that feature unchecked! Works for most though and you should experiment with it.
