Kis or Kav

Using a nat router, what would be the advantage of going with Kis over Kav. lodore has me thinking again.

 

hello Jeff,
well you would get antiphising protection
anti banner
pop up blocker
outbound traffic control!
any other benefits i would like to know before i order KIS6.0 tomorrow

I get the first 2 with IE 7, and the last I am not worried about. So would Kas be my choice.

 

ok then.

firefox antiphising is better anyway.
I got adblock for popup blocker
im not sure if i want the firewall or not?
because the firewall is the only reason why i would buy kis and not kav.
if your pc is malware free do you really need outbound protection?

Hi Trjam.
And what about a HIPS?
W/o an outbound traffic control you may need an HIPS.

But it's only my opinion.

Best Regards.
Mike

 

with kav and kis you get proactive defense which is a HIPS
but for antivir you dont.
lodore

 

Sorry.
Yes you are right KAV has an HIPS too.

 

so lodore, it sounds as Kav is the better deal of the 2.

 

it sure does.
im still debating on which one to get.
the only thing i would want from kis is anti hacker and thats it.

And with Kas, is the HIPS module the one that has 2 items checked, and 2 not checked. So going with the default of 2, that will still give me the HIPS option. Or do I have to check the other 2 which I think causes a lot of popups. I am just asking and thanks for your help.

 

And how does Kasperskys PDM differ from Antivirs guard. I know at some point Don will jump in and cream me, but I have to ask, not just for me, but for all who are interested.

 

antivir guard uses signatures and heuristics and is not behavior based like kaspersky's PDM

Ok, now I understand, thanks. But, in my case it sounds like what you are describing would be Antivir and Prevx1, ummmm, not a bad combo when you think of the cost associated with a free one year license to Antivir, hea, lodore.

 

true lol.
just think free license to antivir
a license for nod32
and a license for kaspersky soon.
so i can choose which I like best which atm is kaspersky.
Proactive defense is getting more like SSM than prevx. since with all options ticked it gives quite a few pop ups.

very true my friend, think I will keep with Avira for a few years, you enjoy your feast of adventure.

 

I sure will
im keeping the nod32 license so i can try 3.0 when it finally comes out.
im gonna be really happy with kis6.0 thou.

I dont lodore, from their forums they seem to be having a lot of issues with their newest release.

 

Kis no doubt, top notch program,
