F-Prot?

No. I am not currently planning to trial or switch to another Av, but I like to stay informed with an eye to the future. So if the info at Majorgeeks is erroneous pressure should be brought to bear to at least change the screen shot and to say the product can be updated manually.

 

Auto updating works for the trial version, been using it here for almost 30 days and no probs.

 

wow, can you say that again in english?

 

Hmmmmm

 

Look, I'm sorry that I am not well in explaining ideas. Information is ipso facto a fluid, and is treated as such. The drag corresponds exquisitely to the the wing drag encountered in aerodynamics, id est, an instance of fluid dynamics. I was hoping that my response to the question, would allow one to find easily some relevant data on the internet. I meant no damned harm!

This is................window locks ?
mortice locks ?
yale locks ?

No, its ................BOW

 

I've finally worked out some r.m.s. drag numbers for a program. Hope they help. DRAG = approximately constant x (# of kernel threads of program)/(total # of kernel treads) x 100 , where constant = approx. 1.25 - 1.45 for pentium IV, and about 1.55 - 1.75 for a P II or PIII, and for a P I about 1.8 - 1.9. Overtaxing a processer often produces nearly pure drag.

P.S. LowWaterMark, is this answer more along the lines of the one sought? If not, I can delete it.

P.P.S. I forgot to say, these figures assume that the processor is operating in a cool environment, e.g, 10% of its max thermal coefficient, i.e. it's not burning up. I did not have time to collect info on processors other than Pentiums. Sorry about that. Heat increases junction capacitance which both attenuates, shifts and retards the data being processed. For a very hot processor, a good approximation for Pentiums is to multiply these numbers by 15.

 

I'm trying F-P on 2 my business PC: the 1st w/win 2K, the 2nd w/win XP.
On the 1st it run very well. No slowing dowin. On th 2nd some 2/3 seconds freezings. Before I tested Dr-web on the 2nd PC too. Never had this problem. Is it possible that F-Prot like better new and fresh installation PCs?

And what about compared w/ AVG?

Best regards.

Any differences in what is running in real-time with FPAV 6 on the two machines? In this regard, you could also use the exclude function for any real-time security applications you are running with FP.

IME, it is not too fussy but make sure you have completely uninstalled any previous AV's on your second machine. So make sure for example, you have no remnants of Dr Web left. You could also try a REPAIR of FPAV from the uninstall option.

 

Hi Blackcat.
Any other real time security sw. IMO the 2nd PC has too old installation, 'cause of too much installation/uninstallation of security software during years: ZA ISS, BD, AVIRA, and Dr-Web and now F-P.
May be Dr-Web react better then others in dirty/old SO installations.

The real problem is that I'm not so happy in re-building this machine. So I'm looking for and trying an AV that do not interfere too much w/ this situation.

And about AVG? Could you tell me if it is really heavier than F-Prot?

Thanks in advance.
Mike

 

IME, Dr Web is a lot more sensitive to other software and prefers a clean machine. Why not try a good registry cleaner such as RegSupreme.

IME, AVG is lighter than FPAV 6, as the latters Guard scans ALL files. If you are looking for other light AVs, other candidates to try include NOD, VBA32, and AntiVir.

 

Another good idea: I can try VBA32 (it's very cheap - that's an important aspect too )

The new version 3.12.1 is due for release very soon. This has a lighter memory footprint and a faster scan speed than previous versions.

You can download the latest commercial release of the Personal version, 3.12.0 and then change the updater to ftp://open.by/vba/beta/update to obtain the v.3.12.1 beta. Very stable.

IMHO, RegSupreme is a better registry cleaner than CCleaner.

 

Thank U!

I'll try it for sure.

Best Regards

new to F-prot and on the trial period.So far I like it was a smooth install runs very well and has a well laid out gui that very user friendly.I Hope it can compete in detection.

Just get stoned and re-read it. It's actully quite hilarious!

 

are you the former should got a dell dude that got fired for smoking weed.

 

I agree peter sorry for the off topic reply back to buzzstone could not hold back sorry.

 

The new !Eldorado engine was introduced last month. It's a very easy AV to use and detection has gotten better with the newer engine. Also, the on-access scanner was optimized so it feels lighter.
