Defender Pro AntiVirus 2007 Questions

Hi fellow forum users,

I just installed Defender Pro 2007 Antivirus. I discovered to my chagrin that this is actually Kaskersky 5.0.390 version and not the more recent 6.0 version. In your opinions, what are the differences and risks in continuing to use 5.0.390 versus the current Kaspersky version. The program still receives updates in the normal frequent fashion. I'm just wondering whether or not I'm still receiving good detection and cleanup functions with this older version of the Kaspersky antivirus engine. Also, would I be better off using AVS which uses the 6.0 version of Kaspersky minus some of the heuristic capabilities?

I'm not a user, but it probably uses old Heuristics and a slight bigger footprint. Anyway, unless Defender Pro AntiVirus 2007 is free, i'd use Kaspersky. Nothing like the real deal.

 

I would personally use AOL minus the toolbar, if these are the options, only because 6.0 has better cleaning......of course AOL avs doesn't have exclusion.

 

You're probably right Someone. However, I used to have a registered copy of Kaspersky 5.0. The functioning and interface and functioning of Defender Pro 2007 is completely identical except for the words "Defender Pro" placed instead of Kaspersky.
