Realtime protection/ Resident shield

I know that for example KAV antivirus is a realtime protection

And AVG antivirus is a resident shield protection.

If for example KAV if they wanted to can they have the both realtime protection and resident shield protection

 

I do not think so . If I am understanding your question right .

 

Hi,

I may be wrong but I through Kav Real time protector and AVG resident sheild protection is basically the same thing but called different names. They are both On access scanners.

Cheers

Resident Shield is the same thing as Real-time scanner.

There are several words for same thing like:
On-Access Scanner
Real-time Scanner
Resident Shield
Resident Protection
.
.
.

All these mean the same thing,scanning files when they are accessed or moved/copied/created. It's just the naming preference of specific company.

 

ok
thnx for the info
and sry if it was a stupid question

 

No Worries!

If you don't ask you don't find out!!

Best Wishes

Jlo
