Baidu Antivirus 2013

Daily updates to a cloud AV sort of defeat the purpose. If one doesn't trust the cloud, drop a batch file in the Windows Startup Folder that commands it to run the Avira Updater (check off the "run as administrator box).

 

Weekly updates? Ha. The Baidu team is really lazy.

 

No it absolutely doesn't. Having a cloud component is a plus, not the core security component. Unless you're perfectly happy to plug in any CD or USB from anybody into your computer with no internet connection and a week-old database. I know I'm not.

About the manual launch of Avira updater inside Baidu folder, I like the idea, but have more people tested this and confirmed it works without breaking anything?

thanks for update

 

Nice if it won't be abandoned like kingsoft.

 

There are virus defination update problem since it released
They didnt fix but they add "USB floating window"

Why dont they just remove avira engine if they cant update it!
Just it is easy way to fix!

 

they also added new photos on their website. really useful!

 

Updated to today's date, 3.6beta..

 

I confirm, the 3.6 beta version works great.

 

So it is now compatible with other AVs?

I wonder how well it would work with Bitdefender Free Edition.

 

It has already been compatible since first release

 

Is it updating?

 

Yet in the Q&A section it says you should not use more than one Antivirus program.

 

On one page it says you can't use two AVs together, on the main page it says it's "Perfect Compatible". They can't even get someone to write "Perfectly Compatible" or "Perfect Compatibility", so why should they be able to make it really compatible, working, reliable? I tested the beta and it couldn't do a scan without crashing. They promised weekly updates, which is ludicrous. I asked whether that would be permanent, but they have not replied this time like they did before when I asked if they would fix the update problem and they gave me that answer. Maybe their silence means they're thinking about it now. Anyways, I love the idea of the program, strong cloud, strong base engine from Avira, apparently reasonable HIPS to (at least on par with Qihu)... but the reality is that the development is not compatible (since we're talking of compatibility) with the company's size and budget.

Just done a supposedly clean install of the new beta version, while this version seems to work great, my defs date is still 17 June 2013 !, and it hasn't updated.

 

English is not their first language, give them a break

 

Thanks!

Yeah, I know that. But it's their level of professionalism that I'm concerned about. They are very open in terms of having a Feedback button built into their application, but they don't really respond to the feedback in their Forum, which is where a company can truly communicate with their users. The development is inexcusably slow, it's not like they're a small company with no resources. I do hope they can succeed, I'm rooting for them. But for now Baidu AV can't be recommended.

 

Thats why to me reputation is more important than detection. When this AV first came out I was going to give it a spin, Im glad I waited. This looks like Kingsoft2.0.

 

Baidu ........

Well it must be nearly Thursday in China and it still hasn't updated.
Virus defs remain at 17 June 2013.

Nb. maybe they mean August 2014

 

Version 3.6.1.38494 Beta

http://forum.antivirus.baidu.com/bbs/topic/100435/1/

thanks for the update

 

3.6.1.38494 Beta working great here. I love the way it does a "Reinstall" in about 5 seconds. Never seen such a user-friendly, unobtrusive AV.

Updating is a non-issue for me, as Baidu is my secondary AV. My primary is My Brain, which I personally think should be everyone's.

 

File which have definition by Avira does not detected by Baidu itself ()
