    This is not true. Kaspersky Monitor can disinfects ZIP archives!!! This is new features of version 4.5.

    Kav 4.5 doesn't clean INSIDE zip files but can be set to auto delete infected archives
    Kav 5 beta does clean inside archives,but at the moment current beta is too problamatic in other ways to use just for this feature

    Hi!
    This is not KAV forum, but I must replay on this post:

    Look: http://www.kaspersky.com/buyonline.html?chapter=610611. Under NEW FEATURES!
    • Removes viruses from ZIP archives - this is only in KAV Monitor

    This is true and last post on this topic!!!

    Just an FYI!!!!
    There are other antivirus software products out there that deal with compressed files such as .zip, .rar, .ace, .arj, and so on. That product is AVAST 4.1 HOME & PRO from ALWIL SOFTWARE. Here is a link to the comparsions between the HOME and PRO versions of AVAST 4.1 :

    http://www.avast.com/i_idt_1018.html

    This product has lots of great features. If you have any questions please feel free to ask them on the AVAST forum. Here is a link to that forum:

    When you right click a compressed file and scan it AVAST will give you both a verbal and visual warning if it is a virus or suspicious file. Then it will give you options to move/renmae, delete, repair, move to chest(quarantine), continue, and stop. NOD32v2 will only give you a visual warning and when you click clean button it can't clean the file. The only buttons that are available in NOD32v2 are leave, quit scanning, and details, and a checkmark box for quarantine. All the other options are greyed out and they are clean, rename, delete, and replace. So until NOD32v2 starts to fix or correct this problem I will no longer use there product. I hope they correct this soon but I doubt it as I have been reporting this since JUNE 03'. I can't use this product as it doesn't meet my needs or take care of my problems. I get alot of email everyday and some of that email has attachments that are in compressed file format. I feel more at ease to right click that file and scan it and see if a virus is there and if so deal with it then rather then extract it and HOPE AMON catches it. The message I keep getting from the ESET moderators is were very busy. They also say this isn't a problem but an additional feature. Additional feature will be added after software conflicts have been fixed. It seems they keep put me off hoping I will give up and let the topic die but that will never happen.

    I would appreciate an ESET MODERATOR response to Izi and Radicalb21 posts reference to Re:problems w/ scanning from context menu?? They say no other antivirus can deal with viruses from within a compressed file format i.e. .zip, .rar, .ace, .arj just to name a few. I would like an idea of a time line on when this feature might be available in the product. I believe this is a resaonable request especially since I have been requesting it since JUNE 03'. It was a feature included in the beta version of the product. I have heard numerous replies from ESET MODERATORS that include we are very busy, it will be added shortly, it is not a problem but an additional feature, virus outbreaks, and program compatibility & software problems. Any and all help would be appreciated. I would really appreciate a response from an ESET MODERATOR or other forum moderator or administrator.

    Maybe you should hire a few more employees? This has gotten ridiculous. I am one of the users who has changed his/her mind on this issue and I am very disappointed. It is obvious from some other current threads that Eset doesn't have enough employees. You don't respond to tech support emails ....after all this time. From what I read here, tech support is no better than it was when I first got NOD32 and no one at Eset responded to me when I submitted samples. That is partially the reason this board came to exist at the time it did and this board is good, but Eset itself appears to still not answer email promptly and now this. It seems obvious that you are short on personnel. :mad:

    What's more important now? It's always something causing a delay that they can't add this feature such as software conflicts, virus outbreaks, security conferences, and not enough people working to fix the problem. Enough is a enough quit using delaying tactics I have been reporting this since June of 2003. It has been over ten months now and believe I have been very patient in waiting this long.

    What does having in the queue mean? Why can't the test be completed now? I believe these questions to be legimate.

    Ladies and gents,

    The support issue has been noticed by Eset - Jan addressed this one as well.

    In this context Eset is anticipating: several new employees have been hired recently in both US and Europe.

    In this context, bear in mind some stats:

    updates:

    - 2002: 200 updates
    - 2003: 249 updates
    - 2004: 90 updates in the first 78 days, leading to a total of 422 updates in total for 2004.

    Of course, this increase has an impact on support.
    Not only is the number of clients growing, but given the constant number of clients the number of support requests would go up.

    Eset will continue improving the quality and timeliness of our support response time.

    I for one do know the above mentioned will not solve your issues within a day. The overall picture though is plain and simple: Eset is a very fast growing company - and for good reasons (explosive growing only happens in case the software is recognized as top of the bill). All companies experiencing such an explosive growth have to cope with consequences - and support is one of them.

    Eset is doing so - and the result will show.

    In the meanwhile: NOD32 users should be comforted knowing they do use an Antivirus a) doing the job b) using an Antivirus that's doing that well overall worldwide. For sure this mere fact is a statement in its own.

    regards.

    paul

    This for JAN & MARCOS:
    I know you say this isn't a problem and it is an additional feature and it will be added when software conflicts & problems are fixed but that will never be because nobody uses the same software or same computer everyone is different. Other reasons for this not being taken care of are virus outbreaks, security conferences, and not enough people working to fix the problem. I believe I have been very patient in waiting as long as I have considering I posted this thread back in June 03' . A few members of this board have changed their view point in the last few months. They now believe as I have believed all along that this feature needs to be added. Mele20 wrote the following:

    " I am one of the users who has changed his/her mind on this issue and I am very disappointed. "

    Jan wrote:
    "no time to complete the tests now - much more important things to do now - having it in the queue"

    I know there have been alot of updates recently and your client base is continuing to grow but that still isn't an excuse for letting this issue continue as long as it has. Why is it just now being put in the queue? This really goes to show how poor there quality assurance is in letting an issue continue this long. I would really appreciate a reply from an ESET Moderator. Thanks again for your assistance.

    Radical,

    there is no big chance the cleaning in the zips feature will be implemented in the near future due to the reasons I mentioned in the earlier posts. This is the reality.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    a story waiting for its consequences

    My Dears,

    I am not programmer but ardent user of good quality software, no matter who's the manufacturer.
    Always I did many tests as possible, even I've to re-install my OS (98, XP, RHL).
    Regarding the AV software, my first "love" was NAV. Two years ago I have used. Until a Redlof infect the station. A friend told me about F-secure. In that moment, after 10 minutes from spreading in the station, Redlof had closed NAV. In this very "busy" environment, I succesful installed the F-secure. After first minute, it disappear, and after another 15 sec appears again and I could be able to fight.
    Now, after 2 years without surprises, I've decide to change AV because it is a real load for my 128 MB memory.
    I saw that NOD is very light for memory.
    I saw also a wonderful interface, comparing with fsav 5.4. Until some days ago, when a XP warning
    me about a virus, TrojanDownloader.Win32.Small.aa. I saw where is it (an exe file). For my curiosity I've install NOD trial for XP. In both cases,
    accessing properties of file and on-demand scanning, NOD doesn't warning me. Of course that I had
    activated the deep heuristic and warning window.
    I have beginning to search everything about NOD, more than I did for any other AV ever!
    Because I like it, but I'm not trust it yet. The test results are contradictory, the forum members are
    little bit confused. So let me know what could stop me to spend money for fsav (3X expensive), ~4X slowly,
    but more safety (at this first incident). Plus, fsav have scan archive option in real time...

    Thanks a lot

    Re:a story waiting for its consequences

    From just my personal experience, all I can say is that I have been using NOD for over two years, started Aug. 2001, and it has provided excellent protection.

    I am fairly active on the internet with my actual e-mail address on several web sites and some of my e-mail addresses date back to 1996. Due to that I get a fare amount of stuff send my way.

    I am a retired CPA but still work out of my home, part time, on the Internet providing contracted support for ATT in the past and now Charter Pipeline because I enjoy doing that.

    Over the past two and a half year period using NOD I have never lost data or been infected with a virus.

    In addition I run some of the Online scanners from time to time just to double check. They have never picked up on anything that NOD missed.

    So for me NOD has been an excellent choice and has provided excellent protection.

    A sample of my log of infections sent my way over the last few days.

    An antivirus program should not be your first or last line of defense. You have to use all means to protect yourself. That includes keeping your operating system up to date.
    Run a trojan detection program in addition to your antivirus. Use a spyware detector program.
    You should always be sure of what you are downloading.
    One of the things I think is most important is to configure your email program for text only. It is just too risky these days to do otherwise.

    I have tested every antivirus program out there for Windows. Nod gives me what I want. Speed, good detection, and timely updates.
    You should choose what makes you comfortable. I am not willing to give up the performance of my computer in exchange for a slow antivirus program. :)
