New Beta

That is NOT TRUE. I have a machine that is far superior to most out there and I CAN see an impact from KAV 4.5 and 5. I don't know what you disable but on default settings KAV slows XP down by noticable amounts.
Not trying to start anything just stating facts I have observed on 3 different pc.

 

I agree with you.

I have tested the KAV 4.5 on my older pc (PIII 500, 320MB) and my computer was very slow and with nod32 it didn't...
The KAV 5.0 is much better about this...

 

I have KAV 4.5 trial on a 3GHz Dell Dimension with 1GB RAM. I have everything enabled for scanning except email. I don't use email scanners. I see no slowdown at all. I did see significant slowdown with KAV 5.0 though. That is probably because it caused immediate, severe fragmentation mostly in System Restore files (where I have about 80 restore points) and rendered System Restore useless. I would not put KAV any flavor on my older W98SE box as I would expect slowdown.

 

Hi Folks:

I'm gonna install the new beta now.Any recommendations about best setup for it ? And about lsass.exe problem ? Has it been fixed ?

Best Regards,

DonKid.

 

I would turn on "automatically deny download of infected file" in the IMON setup by choosing the Expert setup mode when installing. I like the splash screen when malware is identified.

The lsass.exe problem seems to be specific to some machines. I have 12 machines running the beta with Windows XP SP1 ( and Windows 2000 SP4 (4) and none of them have experienced this issue.

 

As far as I'm concerned, no, the little mongrel just reappeared

I started a new Beta thread about it. The previous pre-release had sorted the problem, arrived home this afternoon to find it popping it's little head back up, them thare varments have returned

Cheers

 

Hi all

Just small note to default compatibility settings in HTTP scanner. All unknown (untested) programs are automatically set to higher compatibility. We need to fill the list of aprroved browsers (which works with high efficiency level set) with at most browsers as possible.
So if your browser is not in the list, please set it to high efficiency level a use it for a while. If everything looks OK, send information from Compatibilitty settings dialog to beta2011@nod32.com, we will add the browser to the list.
Also, if you meet any particular problem with browser (probably on specific webpage), please report this too.

Regards

Hi !

Will there be also a german version of the beta ?

ww

 

Depending on the feedbacks of beta testers, most likely we will give out also other language mutations of beta.

 

Nice info indeed
Then i will wait till the german beta version is released

Thx for your efforts,
ww

P.S. Could you give me a hint - will it be hours, days or weeks ?

 

Hello, you'll probably think this a silly question. On the bottom of main scanner are the choices "Scan" and "Clean", is there a difference in these functions. I tried "clean" last night and it looked just like an ordinary scan. I never noticed but maybe this was on last version.

 

I never understood why it was programmed this way, but "scan" will scan your system and tell you afterwards if anything is infected, etc. However, you can't clean from this point........If anything is found during the "scan", then you must select "clean" upon which the entire process will be repeated again and as NOD finds each problem, you will have the option at that time to clean, etc.

Don't understand why when scanning and if something is found, you can't clean it at that time. Why the repetition of the entire scan process.....

 

Ooops I installed it over the previous version, but I haven´t had any problems (yet anyway )Works perfectly, no speedloss.

 

Why don't you just click the "Clean" button the first time to start the scan instead of the "Scan" button?

 

If you click the clean button first then the scan cannot be unattended as it will hang on any nasty it finds (assuming you have it set to ask you what to do) which is the recommended action. Thus, the recommendation that one first run a "scan only" scan and that can be while you are asleep, etc. There is no need, unless a nasty is found, to then run an attended "clean" scan.

 

Well now, what I do for an unattended scan is mark "Clean" and if uncleanable mark "no action".

I don't think one should should mark "Delete" for an unattended scan but I don't mind if it tries to Clean it and then for uncleanable items "no action".

For the very few times it may find a nasty it can't clean I then run the scan again with "offer action"

 

If you do it Mele's way then you can scan, in the unlikely event that it finds something while unattended, after checking the log, you can then run a clean which has already been set to your desired perimiters, I have it set to offer action... or you can simply go to the infected location and right click and scan that particular file, instead of your entire system...

Cheers

 

That does sound like the best way.

 

I don't get much so maybe that is why, but I don't think NOD32 has ever been able to clean a nasty.

 

I had Nod32 logs full of Netsky at work, it does the job very well

Cheers

 

Of course NOD is able (and has always been able) to clean viruses and macro viruses which infect other files. Worms propagating by email, trojans and other kinds of malware which do not infect other files can only be deleted as they consist only of a viral code.

 

Yes I know NOD32 can clean viruses but I thought we were talking about worms or about a virus that hasn't infected any other files and NOD finds it on right click scan after download and you try to clean it and you almost never can. You have to delete it. I thought we were discussing this kind of situation. Sorry, I misunderstood.

 

Any news on more different language versions of the beta ?

thx,
ww

 

Regarding worms, there is nothing to clean, the same for a virus that hasn't infected anything, there is nothing to clean, deletion is the only thing you can do with them, unless you want to keep them around for some reason.
