G DATA AntiVirusKit as on-demand

im currently trialing this AV and i noticed that during setup it lets u customize what u want installed. has anyone tried using it for on-demand only? does it still work ok?

 

i do. i use nod32 as my real time and Gdata as a scheduled on demand. I have been doing this for about 2 years. I find that this works very well with my old P3.

 

I have been using Gdata on demand for months now without any problems. I use Fortigate60's AV for my real time due to the fact that with a hardware AV, I get no lag.

Install Gdata, reboot, go into admin/ services/ and set avkmonitor and avkservice to manual. reboot and your set.

 

Why would anyone do this ? doesn't G DATA AntiVirusKit cost $$ ?

You can get eScan MWAV and BitDefender 8 for free

 

i was just considering using the trial as on-demand. i can just uninstall it afterwards. in reality, i use avast home for partial rtm (p2p, im, network) and on-demand. mwav is a bit confusing for me and bitdefender needs services running. theres also online scans but i prefer having an installed program

 

I understand now, I was wondering why someone would pay for G DATA and not use the whole program

I also use Avast! but use BD 8 as backup.
