What AV does PC Wolrd use

Nobody used KAV and switched to F-Secure because:

1)KAV already provides excellent detection, the slight extra for them is not worth the extra resource use...
2)It is very resource hungry and also costly.

But those who purchased F-Secure are very happy with it.

 

ok then i'll stay with KAV antivirus pro.


one more question why doesn't KAV pay for other scan engines like other do?

 

Well that's a matter of respect and pride...getting another engine would mean working 'by', 'for', or 'under' somebody, which they don't want to do because if they do all new samples detected will have to be sent to the other engine as well according to engine license contracts..then the other product would become just as good as KAV itself, so KAV does not want another engine in its product.

 

ok thnx alot

is there any news on KAV antivirus 6.0 pro/personal (not Kav Exchange 6.0)


And at wat month do they relase the programn normally
March,April,May

 

Yes it should be released at the end of this year or early next year.

 

You never know.

How about Kaspersky with Norman's sandbox or NOD32 AH combo?

Hmmm...Maybe I should license KAV’s engine and Norman's sandbox or NOD32 AH and put them together as one product.

Unbeatable combo?


tECHNODROME

 

KAV engine+Panda TruPrevent+NOD32 AH/Norman Sandbox = Unparalleled protection

 

why does kav have to take so long to brong version 6 (2005) if neally all the antiviruses bring the new version in the begining of the year

 

I have no idea! Maybe they plan to release v5.5 in the meantime...

 

its true coz there used to be a 4.5 so on.

But knowan knows when they will relase 5.5 right?

 

Chaos16, Kaspersky 5.0 was released on 28 april 2004 , so it's not even a year old yet. Pro was released on the 18 october 2004 .

 

so in april we will be seen the new version.

And pro takes way longer?


that horrible

 

No, Kaspersky releases new version every 18 months, so you'll see version 6 in end of 2005 probably...

 

But 5.5 might release in the meantime...

Pro takes longer for reasons unknown it can take up to three months longer.

 

I can almost garantee you that there will be no version 6 in april, it might go into beta in marts though (thats the latest i heard), they are usually in beta for 2-3 months, so i think may/june is the ealiest that you can hope for (sorry ).

But perhaps a 5.5 will be out in the meantime, to ease you pain.

No need to cry though, Kav 5.0 will protect you just fine.

 

lol i know the protection is great

But i want the 5.5 for new features and better stability.

I beat u ppl want that as well. the ones who use KAV.

Is the newest version 5.0.20?

 

5.027 is the newest of personal.

 

Well, i have no stability issue's, so no not really, but if it can help others with issue's then yes, of course.

Yes, 5.0.20 is the latest for Pro.

 

You bet we want a 5.5 version! The latest version of KAV personal is 5.0.227 and Pro is 5.0.20

 

I want 5.5 because I like .5 versions dunno why

 

I wonder wat new things they will add

So there is gonna be a 5.5, well, thanks for the info!

 

I believe most of the new features will be for Personal Pro and Workstation edition, though I have no proof to back it up...
