    TruPrevent is very heavy and really not that good at zoo malware detection.....NOD's AH has proven to be quite good at detecting zoo malware...and also when it comes to ITW it catches less than NOD...

    I have used tru prevent and it is heavy on my comp, if it is heavy on this one it is going to be heave on any of them. And like it has been said TP is nowhere in the class of nods AH.

    Guys, you cannot compare heuristic scanning with a behaviour blocker. TruPrevent detects the API calls of already active malware in memory, NOD32's AH or Bitdefender's HIVE detects malware proactively before it gets executed.

    Both systems have advantages and disadvantages, effectively you need both.

    That is probably the reason why Panda went for a behaviour blocker - they weren't able to produce a good unpacking engine like KAV, BD or NOD do have.
