NOD was fine Now KAV

I had been trialing NOD for about 26 days, and today installed KAV 6 to try.

NOD performed as I had "heard" and I am pleased with it. I would be satisfied to buy it. The uninstall went smoothly.

The download and install of KAV6 went well, and I ran the first scan. The scan took 46min-25sec. NOD took slightly over 30 minutes. The difference is not a big deal for me.

On another thread here I read of times to load a pixel page.
NOD took 35.578 sec with Scripts blocked, and 13.310 sec with scripts allowed.

KAV took15.328 with scripts blocked, and 6.125 with scripts allowed.
I did not expect KAV to be that fast.
I am using FF.

Now to see how KAV compares with NOD.

Well as of On-Demand scan for KAV6, do it again and you'll see how fast it will do it second and probably all next times.

 

Second time took 38 minutes. I do not consider that excessive.
Thanks,

Hi Pete,
I can't find either of those. Where do I find Ichecker and Iswift, and what are they?

While searching for them, I went to the Proactive Defense page. Two are unchecked. Application Integrity Control, and Enable registry guard are both unchecked.
Those are obviously the default settings. Do you recommend anything different?

Thanks,
Jerry

 

When you say "Also be sure to check only scan new and changed files", do you mean in Main Customize Settings plus each sub category's Customized Settings?

I found the referenced items. Thanks.

Sorry but can you please give here more information?

Am I already blind? I could not find any reference to NOD32 taking 35 sec. to load a page

I doubt this would happen in Higher compatibility mode (default). Of course, if the web page is large and you have your browser set to HE mode, NOD32 will first download the page before it gets displayed. This is by design and it's not NOD32's fault at all.

 

Then who´s fault is it ?

 

You can decide whether IMON should first download the whole file and then pass it to the browser, or download chunks of the file and fluently pass them to the browser as they are received. The former is called Higher efficiency or active mode, the latter is called Higher compatibility or passive mode. It's up to you which mode you select, each has its pros and cons.

 

35 seconds is really off. I also wonder what kind of connection was used for testing. My 1Mbit DSL never needed 35 sec with NOD32 to load any page.
In worst cases it took 5 seconds. ANd lets don't forget 1Mbit is far from fast in these days when 4 and 8Mbit and even 10Mbit are becoming mainstream.

 

I am not prepared to argue the point. I just know what happened. Now you should notice that the 35 seconds was with script blocking, and with scripts allowed it was 13.31 seconds. Again using FF.

I guess that is all I can say, and the rest of you can work out whatever details as you desire. I used a DSL connection. Jerry OUT.

Best,
Jerry

 

Myfirst problem with KAV6. Snoopfree had to close, and would not open again in the sys tray. I uninstalled it, and during the installation KAV Proactive Defense shield gave a warning and asked if I wanted to prevent or skip the installation. I clicked skip.

It appeared that the install went OK, but it did not, and had to close. I uninstalled it, and evidently it is not going to get along with KAV.

I hope that there is a way to work around that. I guess we'll see. NOD ran smoothly on my system during the trial. I hope KAV will also.
FWIW

Added:
I reinstalled Snoopfree with KAV disabled, and so far all is well. I could get along without Snoopfree, but I have some added degree of confidence that my system is better protected with it there. I wonder if there is any overlap between it and KAV. If so I could remove it.
