Something about KAV

Some people say KAV is not as fast as NOD32 well I do not see any difference In speed using Windows XP pro 640mb of RAM.

 

With Kav 5.0.327 and Nod 2.5 I didn't notice any difference in scan speed either.

 

About a month ago I was looking for a new AV - KAV and NOD trial was installed & tested.
I scanned about 70gigs which took KAV 15-20 minutes, while NOD did it in 9-10 minutes.
Both were configured with the best possible settings.

AMD 2400+ @2000mhz - 266FSB
1 GB DDR-RAM

 

No I am talking about realtime scan.

 

Last time I tried KAV, it isn't so stable and quick as NOD32...

But the new incoming version of KAV seems much more stable and will be a great upgrade...

 

I have tryed KAV 2006 pre beta and it's very unstable

 

I just try it a little because of the incompatibility with Outpost, but the active scanner seems faster.

I will test it again when it will be in a final stage of development...

 

How fast is your processor? (and how "old" is your system?/how many files have you acquired)

 

I didn't have all that much difference with an on demand scan

 

I have P4 2.66G 640mb of RAM it's 2 years old system and I have do not know how many files it's scans when app Is opening.
