Kaspersky 6 vs Nod32 real time resource

Re: Kaspersky 6 vs Nod32 real time resourse

Lodore and I are friends, even though a great body of polluted water seperates us. Lodore has always had F-Secure, and is looking soon to the day of switching to Kaspersky. I want him to and wish him well. I have the, I guess, the fortunate task of having 7 computers in mine and my sisters family and as such, since I bought them, can try whatever I please. Most are laptops and run a single AV product. The 2 main ones, a HP and a Dell desktop have the Avira Suite on them. The crappy thing is, I have switched so much that I have had to reformat all of them, at least once. So the advice of buy a frigging product and sticking with it, is true.

My OCD testing days are over. I am sold on Avira and will keep 2 with Eset just to be able to try the suite. I am not a fan of Kas.

Jerry, Avira would love to welcome you back. So it is up to you..

 

Re: Kaspersky 6 vs Nod32 real time resourse

basically i test av's and suites on my old offline dell pc with windows me on it.
I have been running f-secure on this pc for nearly two years but replacing it when f-secure runs out on December 24th aka Christmas eve with kis6.0
I agree with you find a product and stick with it.
thats why i have a old dell pc with windows me Pentuim 3 with 256mb ram as my testbed.
I have had to format it once during testing it was one kaspersky beta.
but because it was a beta on flaky windows ME its not a problem.
that way i can reformat it it less than an hour and then do more testing without messing up my main pc
i am a fan of quite a few av's

trjam, lodore.......

Thanks for clarifying things. At least now I have idea of what's going on when you guys start talking AVs.

For me, it's still Avira SS or KAV6 or KIS 6. Avira SS is hard to beat, but still leaning a little towards KIS6.

 

Re: Kaspersky 6 vs Nod32 real time resourse

Even if it shows up fast, it doesn't really mean much. It may be still loading under the background. Just like the antivirus which shows last doesn't mean it is the last one which gets loaded, and you may still get protection even the malware appears first.

 

Re: Kaspersky 6 vs Nod32 real time resourse

Can anyone confirm this to be true or false? IBK perhaps?

 

Re: Kaspersky 6 vs Nod32 real time resourse

I dont know but from the Help archive from KAV:

Scans all programs that are loaded when the operating system boots up for viruses.

(System memory, Startup Objects, and Disk boot sectors)

 

Re: Kaspersky 6 vs Nod32 real time resourse

earlier in this thread there was a screenshot of the nod32 planner and had the startup scan shown and as far as I remember it said run at maximum every 24hours. now kaspersky startup scan runs every time you login or bootup.

Re: Kaspersky 6 vs Nod32 real time resourse

im not fully clear about what this thread asks for, so here goes.

real time resource, erm ... well nod uses more ram if thats what you mean, or nod runs faster than kaspersky, kaspersky has better detection, but nod has better heuristics and still will by a distance i think, even when kaspersky bring out their new heuristics.

i think that answers it,

 

Re: Kaspersky 6 vs Nod32 real time resourse

Easy to change however.

 

Re: Kaspersky 6 vs Nod32 real time resourse

Actually I was more interested in this being verified or dismissed.

 

Who cares which scans the most on startup? Just turn that off. I never let KAV scan startup objects. I've never run a full scan either. I don't need to run routine scans. I don't even need a real time scanner but BD wouldn't let me keep BD free after two years ...

 

My KIS (avp.exe) now using 8.700 K with all settings (file scan, e-mail, web...) in "high" level (because I'm neurotic )

No startup objects scan configured
Full scan monthly
No active integrity checker
No anti-banner

 

8mb sweet.
kis6.0 coming tomorrow woot!
i hope my dad will let me install at the weekend.
8mb seems extra sweet after over 100mb from f-secure.
im gonna have startup scan and have weekly scan.
it will be faster than f-secure loading anyway and the check is useful.
light on cpu?
