What Antivirus are you using now?

I am using McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i right now. Love it.

I might give NOD32 a try when version 3 comes out.

 

F-secure now and pc-cillin 2007 after it is released!

 

Been hearing a lot these days about F-Secure, what is it about that AV besides a KAV clone that is good and the free license? I used it back then and it was heavy on resources. Is it still the same and is the suite any good?

Nod32 on my desktop and laptop. I was using KAV6 on my laptop, but it was causing BSOD when shutting off the internet connection, so have changed back to nod32.

Thanks

 

In the article is the following:

So all other AV companies uses these five´s code to ther AV´s?
I assume he claims his company is one of the five. I wonder who the 4 others are?

 

Well like everyone else, I applied for my free F-Secure license and its running smoothly. As a matter of fact, it is running smoother than Kav here. Might be on the bigger memory footprint, but will see how it goes. Who can argue with free licenses...

NOD on PCs, etrust on Server, Avast free at home. Hated F-Prot (slowed to a crawl), hate Norton (not got time to list reasons)

 

Me too.

I'm so surprised about the fact that F-Secure (free license) runs very smoothly, light (fast) in real-time performance on my machine. F-Secure is as light (fast) as well known light AV I've tried such as AVG, avast!, NOD32, eTrust, Avira on my machine even F-Secure seems to take so long to do an on-demand scanning but that's not a big deal.

I really don't care about how much RAM F-Secure takes as long as it's still fast in real-time performance and doesn't slow my machine down.

 

Vba32.No suite.

 

Well F-Secure on its first attempt to scan my hard drives fronze my whole system, restarted, and now it did scan normally. Don't know what happened, but that was the first strike on F-Secure's list. The on-demand scanner on the F-Secure took less time to scan all of my four hard drives than the actual Kav 2006.

I am hoping that F-Protect will be out of beta and tested soon by AV Comparatives. I assume it won't be ready for the August test.
It has a following of some sharp folks, but it will have to greatly improve its detection rates before I will be interested.

Dr Web after using Kaspersky last year. So far i really love it , just the features i really need and a very competitive price when you migrate from another AV

edit : and no suite...i REALLY hate that kind of big fat monster

 

Panda Platinum 2006 Internet Security

Great

 

Currently using Nod32 & ZA Free.

When OA's FW comes out will try OA AV w/FW.

 

Interesting read.

Money through max. of sales. "I just want to make a great product". Money does not seem to be everything to him. Not interested in selling the company either. Good for him.

 

Dr.Web and F-Prot beta v6. 2 great AV experts and character - Igor D. and Mike. Where ever they move, so will my choice of security!

 

Of all this AV's out right now, beta or not, which suite looks like it will include a very good firewall? TrendMicro's looks good and so does Kaspersky's. Any others?

Kaspersly 6.0

Was a very close call betweent it and Nod32.... Both of which I trialed and both of which were quite impressive.

In the end simply felt Kaspersky was the one for me.

 

WOW! Don't try to uninstall F-Secure, it won't like you. Just trying different AV's here, messing around, and well F-Secure doesn't uninstall clean in my computer. Left most of the startup files plus the service and a 47 MB folder. Can't install it again to remove it because it detects the previous version. If not that, then it will keep tell you an error "rename operation pending, please restart" which will not work if you restart though. Guess I have to re-image windows.

KIS, both final and MP1 beta. (In different snapshots of my system, of course.)

 

Currently I am using VirusChaser, it works well on my computer, low on resources, updates 4 to 5 times per day, scans very fast and so far detection has been very good

 

dja2k if you want to fully remove f-secure download the f-secure removeal tool from there website or email them and they will send it to you

 

I don't doubt the facts of what you say. It just shows that all systems do not react alike.

I have installed and uninstalled F-Secure either 2 or 3 times without any problems. Again, that is just my system, and not necessarily the same results on others.
