@tiagozt What are you basing that on? Certainly no comparison I've ever seen. AV-Comparatives and Virus Bulletin both rate Avast fairly high,...
I covered this in the original post. NOD32 for example clearly has two levels of heuristics, and only one is enabled for real-time because...
Fear of the unknown, that's all. I ran for years without AV, only using it now out of technical interest more than anything.
Alas, the Avira support forum hasn't been able to resolve my issue with Mail and Web Guard, so it's back to NOD32 for me. Shame, because Avira...
This is incorrect. A "Full Scan" -- or "In-Depth Scan" as NOD32 calls it -- by default will scan everything except "E-mail Files" and "Unwanted...
AV-Comparatives, Virus Bulletin and AV-Test all show NOD32 to be one of the top AV scanners around. If the Eset page is right and they do use a...
Quite simply, is the High setting enabling additional checks and pattern routines (or whatever) and thus using more CPU while being more thorough,...
After years of running naked, a recent work project has inspired me to try out anti-virus. This is more out of a sense of fun than feeling the...
Do Avast! have a section on their site detailing the enhanced interface? Wasn't able to find one.
Around that point I would seriously re-evaluate my computing habits.
Interesting, sorry, I mistook the meaning. IMO though, once you're infected it's game over and a wipe and rebuild is the only way to be sure...
Both NOD32 and AntiVir would meet those criteria.
I have recently added Secunia PSI to the toolbox, since more and more it's vulnerabilities in 3rd party products which are providing the "way in"...
The problem with that site is that it doesn't appear to cover false positive scenarios. If you check http://www.av-comparatives.org/ you will see...
Thanks for the clarification. I've always thought of strict cleaning as something for use in a business environment where you don't want...
As AVG still only automatically updates once a day (AFAIK) I'd say there are still certain downsides when compared ~Rest of comment edited. - Ron~
On the signature front, sure, the differences are so tiny it's almost yawn inducing, though if you dig into the detail of the AV Comparative...
Definitely a huge improvement over the older ones.
The help doesn't offer much insight into this option, other than to blow its trumpet. An in-depth scan has this option enabled, but on-access...
Separate names with a comma.
