0 laz45 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 afaik, AVG, avast and symantec are the only AV companies that offer support for windows 64 atm. but im sure more will come in the following 6-12 months until windows vista is released. think both mcafee and f-secure are soon to release support for 64 also. 586631445[/snapback] NOD32 has 64-Bit Support too.

0 DreadBoat89 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 (edited) norton > eztrust > avast changed antivirus software in a span of 2 days... i got a virus that crippled my computer... i was using norton -.-... so i decided to use something else... eztrust is good... but you can't configure that much... so i ran to avast! it offers so much more than any other solution i saw... i liked it so much that i switched to the pro version...

0 chroniX Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 has anyone used Kaspersky 5 and NOD32 and prefer one over the other? I always hear good things about NOD32, but I'm wondering if it is the total solution? checks outlook 2003 e-mails, websites, real-time monitoring, etc? I find Kaspersky to be really good @ detecting viruses, malware sites, etc... Is anyone using Kaspersky in conjunction w/NOD32?

0 +orgitnized Subscriber¹ Posted October 18, 2005 Subscriber¹ Share Posted October 18, 2005 has anyone used Kaspersky 5 and NOD32 and prefer one over the other?I always hear good things about NOD32, but I'm wondering if it is the total solution? checks outlook 2003 e-mails, websites, real-time monitoring, etc? I find Kaspersky to be really good @ detecting viruses, malware sites, etc... Is anyone using Kaspersky in conjunction w/NOD32? Thanks! :p 586687592[/snapback] I picked NOD32 over Kaspersky for a few of reasons: [1] NOD32 is faster and the detection rate is very impressive [2] Kaspersky for whatever reason has problems with scanning my emails when the come in. This happens in Outlook and Thunderbird. It's just sporadic. Sometimes it works and other times it just doesn't. [3] I'll stress this again...speed. Kaspersky has one of the slowest startup sequences I've ever seen. I know that they seem to have done more with 2006, but I cannot use it. I use VPN so much, and the workstation version seems to be the only one that is compatible with it. Maybe I'll try Kaspersky's next version. My laptop has 2 GB of RAM, compared to my old one with only 512 MB of RAM. Hopefully that improved its load times.

0 ProjectRAGE Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Avast Pro...works great, no fake detections like I always had with Nod32...Avast is smaller then Nod32 to..therefor easier on resources.

0 Guest craft660 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) You're all wrong! Frisk software F-Prot Antivirus is the best! easy on resources should also add that it's one of the very few AV's that can load on a usb pen for eg. without any installion and there's no subscription ie no need to buy a license every year Edited October 18, 2005 by craft660 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/323306-your-favourite-antivirus/page/18/#findComment-586689478 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a blessing and also crap at the same time.

Which is a blessing and also crap at the same time. 586689495[/snapback] Though I do believe you can turn it off now. KAV2006 seems to be vastly faster in any case. I can barely tell the difference between having only NOD32 or KAV2006 on, and both on (with certain modules disabled mind you, or it's going to be conflict city).
