Anti-Virus Poll 2007

Nod32 on 2nd 2year renewal. Best way to go.

easy to use very fast in adding new stuff

just plain brill

MR Eugene You the man

 

AVZ antivirus utility.

 

Poor-man's kapersky (AVS)

 

With so many saying how good NOD 32 was I thought I would give it a try.
Certainly looks very impressive - but as it found nothing I think I will just stay
with Antivir free.

 

I use AVG75, as it's free.

Not sure if there is a free version of Avira

 

I have redone my security and am now running

Avira Personal Premium
A2 paid version
Kerio 2.5.1 FW
spywareblaster
Ghost security suite
Winpatrol
Fdisr

use this link if you want to download. i fidn that none of the other mirrors work. ftp://ftp3.tnc.edu.tw/antivir/antivir_workstation_win7u_en_h.exe

 

After voting for NOD32 as my first choice I am returning to KAV's newest version, although Avira is in a 2nd. place tie with NOD32. My reasons:

KAV is as light a footprint as the others; when selecting to scan only new and changed files it flies through the scan (wish the others could do this) and I find that my up/download speeds are higher than the others. I use speakeasy.net & Michigan State U's sites to verify this.

BUT....I will revert, if better AV test results show KAV lags or that the scan patterns can be implemented to "skip" already scanned files.

 

Happily switched from NOD32 to Avira AntiVir

 

I voted none, it's even worse than none, I don't have any scanner.
I want to know how bad (or good ?) e-life is without them.

 

Currently using nod32 on one system and antivir premium on another system. I don't really rely on av's anymore so when mine expire i'll either switch to free or just not use them at all.

 

AVG Internet Security/BitDefender AntiVirus Plus/ZoneAlarm AV for now.

AVG is the preferred product, others are intermediary.

 

Returned to Avast!. Antivir is good, but i was not comfortable. Two icons, detecting that Prevx2 dll would freeze the computer, updates were not clockwise (it's not life and death, but it doesn't feel right).

Detected the same dll upon first scan, no freezing, great sounds (alarm ), and a voice "warning a virus has been detected", way cool. I had that turned off last time, but i think i'm going to leave it on. For the rare detection, it brings a little colour to the computer.

 

I use Macafee

 

OMG, they lost many positions, nods peek time is over! They step back.. nod is so easy to bypass for the black hats.

I belong to the 1% GData users, that still is Nr.1 of all. Bitdef+Kav = Top.

 

It's 1.04% and there are three of you. I renewed with NOD.

 

I think Nod is better than ever, and tests are not competitions really, I see Nod working effectively in real life, and so far it hasn't failed once (I run Kaspersky on line scan once a month and never finds anything).

 

As of right now, top 11 include:

AntiVirus - Votes - Percent of Votes
1. NOD32 - 116 - 40%
2. Avira/AntiVir - 61 - 21%
3. Kaspersky - 60 - 21%
4. Avast - 31 - 11%
5. AVG - 29 - 10%
6. Dr. Web - 18 - 6%
7. AOL Active Virus Shield - 13 - 4%
8. Bitdefender - 12 - 4%
9. Norton/Symantec - 11 - 4%
10. F-Secure - 10 - 3%
10. None - 10 - 3%

 

I'm running Nod32, found its file scanner/monitor AMON to be much lighter than kaspersky's on my system. I also have the free version of bitdefender as a on-demand scanner both work well.

On an older computer Im running Avast, with ClamWin AV no problems.

 

I am trialing Avira/AntiVir Premium and on a older computer I have NOD32.
