F-Secure Internet Security performance impact

When I used FSIS the only concern I had was with the long boot up times and the email scanning times. AV scanning time didn't (and doesn't) matter to me since I have always set up scans in the early morning hours anyway.

It is true FSIS is a little heavy but considering the multiple scanning engines involved it wasn't as bad as expected.

 

You may be right about removal- and maybe not. However, it is a secondary concern to me, as it is more rational to avoid the infection to begin with (i.e., better heuristics). I'll take the better prevention and fast scanning of Nod32 or Avira over poorer prevention and slower scanning (Dr. Web).

 

its a commen fact all will leak malware, so what then?

sure, you cant:

remove if you cant detect,

but, isnt that the same as:

detect without removal

but if i speak about my own experiences, then there are arguments against both, i understand this, yet, if you search the forums/message boards all over the internet, you see infected computers using Norton/Nod32/Avira/Mcafee etc, but im yet to see this from Drweb, and ive personally never been infected while using drweb, but at least i have reassurance that if that day arrives in the future, i know i can remove it

(without relying on other vendors scanners to get me out of the trouble.)

if Drweb is sooo poor at detection, why dont you see infected computers, and why is drwebs cureit used soooo much to cure other computers?

also, if drweb is a FP-Machine, why have i recieved none? (only during betas have i ever recieved an FP)

people look into tests with such conviction, but i prefer my tried and tested method.

i know there are many people on here, who look at my AV and think, WTF!

but my experiences speak for themselfs, and this is all that really matters to me, as ive tried/owned many AV's in the past/present.

do Russians Ministry Defense still licence Drweb, surely its not as bad as a few people say.

 

Current quoted price on that site is US$ 65.90??

 

according to the link given,

AV 3 PC - $43

which is EXACTLY the same price as the Suite for 3 PCs.

 

no it isnt. You buy from their with the currency being India rupees and if you convert those prices to dollars you get what I posted. Or you could just buy my signature and not use any other security product. But that is another story.

 

jeff, i think they have caught onto this a long time ago.

my post above yours IS the price using india rupees.

 

no it isnt. The AV is 700 rupees that comes out to $17.92. I just did it and it converted out. It shows 700,00. you forget the comma the last 2 zeros when converting. I just got my credit card statement and it shows the price I am saying.

700,00 INR is for 1pc.

12 month protection for up-to 3 computers Price: 1700,00 INR

 

ok, let me go slow. the one on the bottom is the AV for 3 computers, the one at the top is the suite for one computer. Alot higher in price, you want to choose the one on the bottom, the AV which is just as good as the suite.

yes i do see it, and i know what you mean.

but look here:

I have never had malware on 76 computers since the IBM 8088 running 16 hours a day. If I have malware that affects anything I don't want, I would use Acronis to restore it to it's pre-infection state. If that fails, we use two other backup programs as well. Never had a problem, and if we do, we are prepared.

 

that is why you use this link.

it works

 

sure you could just use acronis to restore, but acronis can not restore you your personal/financial details.

you can get an AV for free, i dont see why the risk should be taken for other options.

 

You are wrong. Acronis makes an image (exact replica) of hard drive. All is restored.

 

you cant restore stolen personal/financial details.

 

Just to clear things up, the 700 Indian rupees is for the 3-user F-Secure AV license. The 1700 INR option for the 3 PC license is a mistake, a leftover from the Hong Kong online store. Note that you are charged in HKD and a higher price when you choose that option.

Secondly, the 1700 rupees for the 1-year license for Internet Security is also a 3-user license. The 1-user license text is again a mistake.

 

I just want to know what Shadowdefender is ;-)
