going to test both F_prot & the good doctor tonight

I'm going to test both F_prot & the good doctor tonight, if the Inspector is still around is v6 going to be OK on vista ?

 

Re: Dr Web and AV Comparatives

the only issue I had last week was trying to set up a scheduled scan. Of course with Dr Web you have to use task scheduler. Larry, you really sure you want to start screwing around with your computers.

 

Re: Dr Web and AV Comparatives

my machine has always been fine , it's my daughter who get's her & my wife's machines screwed up. No one but me is allowed to screw up mine ;-) ....so far so good...I wish I could get back to XP is was easier IMO...

Not with fresh, virgin images handy

 

Although it appears stable, care is needed as with any beta.

The next version should be a release or gold version for Vista 32 bit.

 

good luck, im sure you will be very surprised with both.

a thread that might interest you Larry.

Re: Dr Web and AV Comparatives

Hi trjam,
Dr Web has it's own scan scheduler.
Badcompany.

 

Re: Dr Web and AV Comparatives

for vista, it uses the scheduler built into vista.

 

I fail to see how this test you will perform will answer the questions raised in the thread that led you to perform it. What makes you more qualified to perform such a test? What samples will you use? How do you know they are functional samples of actual live malware and are not corrupt? If the people posting in that thread question Andreas' ability to perform such a test, how are you qualified to perform one? I am not insulting your abilities or knowledge, I just wonder what it will prove.

 

F-PROT is still pretty light, even in its current iteration.

I put it on a PII 266 Mhz laptop with 96 MB of RAM this weekend, and it works great.

 

What Windows is installed on this machine ? How can you even stand any AV on this ... ?

 

W2K sp4!

Yes, it's a bit snappier without an AV, but tolerable even with F-PROT!

 

When I tested the program it used about that much RAM in processes.

 

Under the above setup--on that specific machine--F-PROT is pulling about 33MB in VM!

Minimum recommended RAM for F-PROT is 20 MB. Well within this PC's specs!

 

Well , that's acceptable

sorry for the off-topic

 

hey Larry, have you falling asleep yet.

 

Virtual memory (page file) I would suppose. Besides, Jim is a full-on compyuter expert.

*96MB? Seems a bit excessive to me.
