Quick, few days left

now, which scan engine is better than the other?
Scan my system using Vet scan engine and it finished after 43 min. (on an Intel Celeron 300MHz, 128 MB RAM) WOW
Will try InoIT engine soon..

 

InoculateIT results:

 

For me its like lightning compared to my KAV Lite which takes 3 x s as long.

 

Kaspersky is 3x better in terms of malware detection.

I trust that no one here is confusing this product with EZ Antivirus! eTrust v7 is meant for professional IT management and may be expensive for individuals when it comes time to purchase and update. Pricing is for volume purchases.

 

As I understand it, reading the information, ETrust v7 is free, no purchase necessary. Updates are free for life, however long that is in the AV industry.

In any case, I plan to use it for as long as I can get those signature updates. Hopefully that will be for a long time. I've got one AV doing a more effective job than my old AV and backup did prior to my downloading ETrust.

 

Well, I admit this is most interesting. I can't find anything at the CA website about the promotion but the FTP links are still available. So I guess it is free!

If indeed it's the normal version (all OSes rolled into one download), it should work fine. But at a little over 15 MB, I have my doubts.

 

- from CA site (www.ca.com) click on "Solutions"tab..
- at the right lower side you will find a title named "Business Platforms"..
- At the lower left side you will find this link:

Pity the site is not fully Opera compatible

 

just came across my mind..
This version is released for business win2k3 users, will it be legal - [font=Verdana color = red]or at least ethical [/font] - to us it on personal compeuters?

 

I still cant update the defs automatically

No matter how many times I try It refuses to update, running it on demand for about 12 days now

 

Still available, I just downloaded and installed it (June 22).

 

Have you given it permission on your fire wall Kev (silly question I know . but worth a look ) Its a white box with e Trust anti virus written next too it on my firewall .
If you right click on it and see that it is Inodist.exe.
T^his is proberbly no use at all lol

 

Or if you open up the e Truscanner> sig update optionsst local scanner > schedule everything is greyed out on mine and nothing ticked. > Incoming There is a tick on the "

Preform fast downloading" with a ftp site in the download box ftpav2003.ca.com

Is yours like that ?

 

Thats how mine is too SPC, when I click 'update now' it doesn't even attempt to update, no firewall alerts and no outgoing connection.

I think I may have to have some of the services running instead of strict on demand only.

 

hey kev. You are running look n stop ? because lookn stop doesnt work with the updater . I havent the where with all to set the correct rule for mine . So at the mo while enjoying this anti virus programme Im using their E Trust firewall . maybe that is whats up with yours . ( cant remember or not whether you are using look n Stop but thought you may have been)

 

Thanks SPC but I'm not using Look n' Stop firewall.

I'll maybe try running it as resident and try updating then.

 

That might be it . Its kind of got a will of its own . However its a very smooth running anti virus programme and is like velvet on the system .( when its flowing along nicely.

 

anyone knows how to disable "Signature Update" ?
I both check and unchecked the option "Enable Scheduled Download" but with no luck

 

If you have spybot search and destroy > Tools>System Start> Uncheck " Ino Task" (This should stop scheduled Scans and Signature Updates)
To manually update > Right click on Monitor on task bar > download signiatures now.

Think that will do it

 

many thanx

 

I've fought with the automatic update, tried everything suggested, and finally gave up and decided to keep using the manual download at

http://support.ca.com/Download/virussig.html

Updating every other day only takes a couple of minutes to get both Vet and InoculateIt signatures. Some day, maybe I'll be competent enough to figure out what the problem is and fix it.

 

Take care with this AV, there is a report that it MAY cause NTFS trouble under Win2000 and XP;

>Also, it doesn't recognize the Eicar virus. I wonder if it's even working.

>Edit: Duh. It did recognize Eicar. I just have to figure out how to turn on the alerts.

Very good AV ! But how to turn on the alerts ?

It give me no alerts when it clean/kill/rename a virus.
