We all know nod32 to have the lightest footprint. Please go thru the second para of post no 3. Any comments ? What could be the 'other bells and whistle' ? http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=20668
Anti-Hacker (Firewall), Pop-up blocker, Anti-banner etc. etc. could qualify as "other bells and whistles"...
KIS a security suite whereas nod32 is just an antivirus. but if u compare nod32 to kav, the big difference is kav's proactive defense.
I wouldn't call it "difference" if talking about resourses . NOD32 has advanced heuristics , KAV has PDM (both are modules against unknown malware) The difference is in the resourses and the way they work
Whilst not here at the NOD32 support forum to compare I will just post this screenshot that is not even 5 minutes old from my nod32krn.exe See it says 'Physical Memory'? Cheers
