to let u all know,mcafee will start its beta-testing for total-protection 2008 from 18th june....

 

So exciting - Both norton, mcafee, panda, nod, kaspersky and bitdefender betas Looking forward testing especially norton, mcafee, panda and bitdefender

 

Norton and McAfee beta too? Have the beta program started? If so, where can you sign up? If not, when can you?

 

Norton AV/IS 08 are in beta stage now. Try : https://et.symantec.com/signup/default.html

Ive read somewhere here at wilderes that McAfee starts their betas at 17 or 18 june (or was it july )

 

second post dear....

 

Haha **** happens

 

feels great,

nice to see an improved bear icon,

it feels just like 2007, but has the http scanner and probably has that new virus-finding technology or whatever its called.

 

It's very nice, very light. I just wish Panda would have added a Scheduled Scan option. I don't understand why they won't include that option. Because of that fact, I didn't use the 2007, and I won't be using this one.

 

Any slowdown with this, Chris?

 

I threw it on the Vista box (awaiting VBA32 beta), it runs light but still as stated doesn't have a scedued scan nor any options for infected files still. But the HTTP scanner is light. There is a slight slowdown in system performance, but then again it is beta.

 

But how the hell, can you leave out the ability to schedule a scan. That is like leaving meat out of a hamburger.

 

It sure feels like party time.
Kaspersky, ESS, Panda 2008, Norton 2008, BitDefender 2008, <McAfee on the way

Wow

 

I think it's called the Mega-Detection engine...

 

its fine pal.

no real slowdowns to notice while surfing,

one problem ive noticed with the beta is getting the updates can be really slow, or at least it has been for me.

its running very light, ram doesnt even seem to change during a full system scan which is impressive.

everything else runs just as good as panda 2007,

full system scan was nearly 12 minutes for 10.5gb, which is similar to 2007.

 

I agree. How can you, or why would you, leave this option out? I've never understood this. I guess this is just Panda's idea of a bare bones AV.

 

can someone post a screenshot pls?

 

Sure it looks the same as 2007 though. :\

thanks,yup the GUI is same..

 

some of the options are different,

plus, panda dont change the look of things... just incorporate the better things.

lets take the suite as an example,

2006 looks exactly like 2007,
but 2007 has better technologys inside and is light on the system

 

its nice to see two main players finaly listening to customers and making the suites lighter.
symantec have made norton 2007 lighter.
panada 2007 is much lighter than the old versions.
now its just mcafee to follow suit. since mcafee 2007 is bloated still.
i migth beta test panda2008 later on.

Keep us informed Lodore

 

is there still start-up delay?

 

start up delay?

i never had this with 2007, and still dont think 2008.

<2006 give this problem, but 2007> has always been fine for me.

 

Running VERY well here - No performance slowdowns, no internet slowdowns. Http scanner seems to work very well Panda continues the good work

Eventhough the interface aint important (when looking at performance) it could use a makeover. Or at least som minor changes to freshen it up. At least I think
