NOD32 2.7 And AntiVir

I'm running Avira Security Suite. I also have a license for NOD32. Although I like the way Avira Security Suite runs on my computer, very light, can't hardly tell it's there, I'm beginning to think about NOD32 again.

Since the new NOD32 2.7 beta has come out, I've been reading about it's rootkit detection, improved spyware and trojan detection. How does Avira's AV compare with this? I guess I'm mainly interested in the rootkit detection. Would my computer be more secure with NOD32 2.7. than with Avira's AV?

 

Im in the same boat as you are.
I got a free license from avira for the suite
I got a license for nod32 given to me which was nice.
Dont know which one to use either, i will probably use antivir and then try nod32 when 2.7 goes final and then when 3.0 comes out.

Lodore I thought you had Kaspersky

 

nope i have a license for nod32 and antivir suite.
I have trialed kaspersky and loved it but why pay out for kaspersky when i have two free license's one for antivir suite and one for nod32.
if i didnt have those license's i would probably of brought kav 6 thou.
im glad ive got the license for nod32 because then i will be able to try out the amazing 3.0.
but i think i will use antivir suite when i have the time to install it.

That,s nice, two free licences. OK, Antivir for beta testing?
NOD 32 for what?

 

Can we please get back to my question.

 

Let me settle this for both of you. Avira doesn’t have rootkit detection yet, but you both know from the beta forums they just about do, and it is going to be a nice feature. Nods new beta is nice but at this point doesn’t compare to Antivirs suite because of the firewall being added. Having said that I am smart enough to know that, when Eset releases their suite, it will probably be the best there is at that moment, but it isn’t here yet. So are you looking for now, or 6 months from now. That is the question. I really, really think that when it comes to a suite that is light, solid, protective and not loaded with crap, it is going to be between Avira and Eset in 2007. No one else is in this category. Their will be other suites that are great, but none that can match what these 2 can do without the hassle and true effectiveness these 2 can offer.

 

Sure, but unfortunately I have nothing to say. BTW I am interested to know also RoTkits and Avira? Do they scan for rootkits now?

Edit; just saw the post above.

 

rootkit detection is in beta and will soon be part of the suite.

 

And lemme guess, current suite customers will have to pay to upgrade to add the rootkit feature. lol.

 

Lets hope not since it should be an intricate part of the suite.

 

I really got ripped off. I bought the Premium in Sept and now the Suite comes out and I don't have the money for it, even though I was a betatester, no free lisence for it.

If anyone has a Suite lisence they don't want PLEASE PM me, I'd be so grateful.
