FSIS 2008

Some time back when i tried fsis 2007 i had to reformat. Maybe the installation conflicted with former av or firewall residu. However was 2 scared of trying it again. I did have 2006 running for some period but onfortunetly it slowed down
startup of programs 2 much but i guess that's in the past for fsis at least i hope.

Do they still run adaware engine?

 

I agree. If anything FSIS taught me it wasn't the number of processes being used but how those processes affected performance that determined "bloatness" in a AV. Trend Micro IS has 9 processes and I didn't feel an impact either with it.

 

How would you compare the new FSIS 2008 with KIS 7?

 

I'm having $50000 @ 2-1 that he's changed it by breakfast time on Saturday

 

That late huh? I give it till Friday afternoon.


No offense trjam. Just having some fun.

 

good for you, i don't need 13 processes to be protect

 

I prefer F-Secure to KIS any day, especially now. As far as processes and comparing to older versions, lets just say, well. lets just say 9/3/07.

 

Ι also used FSIS 2007 for a while and I was pretty happy but It really bothered me that it had MANY processes running and the slow system startup! I hope that this is fixed! Also it wasa very slow during full system scan...

 

put it this way f-secure 2006 had 19 processes
2007 version has 13 processes
hopefully 2008 has like 7 or less.

With every new version , let's remove 6 processes
19-x=13 ? 13-x=7 ? (joking)

 

LMAO maybe in the end f-secure will have two processes like kaspersky and nod32.

Just about the *only* reason I do not use F-Secure is the fact that it is too pricey for my pockets....Apart from that, it is an excellent product!!!!

 

I do not know if you can use ebay, but sometimes FS goes pretty cheap there. There are some good buys there now.

I also think it is as good as any, even including KIS. The only complaint I ever had was the slow loading at start.

does it boot any faster?

 

dont get sidetracked lodore,

processes do not mean less usage on the pc.

 

he'll be with Norton tomorrow morning no doubt,

just kidding enjoy your F-secure or well your antivirus program<g>...

 

Let me join the party, I'm interested to try the AV only.

Please share links when it's ready

True but if they take out some of the unless engines and optomize it for a faster startup it could be a really decent light suite.

Does FSIS 2008 scan IM such as Windows Live Messenger?

 

if you set the right paramitors in windows live messenger options.
but the file will get scanned if you access it anyway.

Howdy sailor, is that a box of Cuban cigars in your pocket, or are you just happy to meet me.

My PC sucks and that is all there is to it. Norton is the only thing that works and updates correctly.

 

What was F-Secure's problem?

 

Nothing, its my PC. I have got to deal with it.

 

Big bummer, we feel with you, however even though norton is a fine product it would be one of the last thinghs id ever advice somebody, the other thingh is another excellent product with also high detection rates called avg, don't ask y look at other thread y.

 

Hey, Jeff. Why not just ditch your computer, buy a new one, and use FSIS?

Just think of the stress and shortened life that a bad computer causes. You owe it to your family to reduce the stress and buy a new computer. It is for them.

What was the contract penalty for changing AV/Avatar? I don't seem to remember.
