Best Virusscanner Finally Found

[Olger901]

Hi Guys I looked on the internet and I found a really good virusscanner called Kaspersky Antivirus. I installed it and it's really WoW.



The advantages:

1: It DOESN'T! take extra time for my pc to boot in XP (I clocked the times exactly)

2: It finds more then an avarage virusscanner

3: Best of all if you do the updates manually the virusscanner is for free

4: If a registered user your pc updates automatically without annoying questions like with Norton or Mc Afee

5: This Program Has Lots of extra options including a: Office Guard, Email Gaurd, A Monitor Program and a Main Control Program to keep everything under control

The Disadvantages (Only one and not important!)

1: It is for some new beginners difficult to use

Are you sure that's it's free? All i read is that it is free to scan, not to clean.

Well yeah because I did a scan on my pc. It found the Virus Klez.H and it asked me what to do. It asked me if I wanted to Remove the virus, Disinfect the Virus or Report it only so I guess it is able to remove a virus.

1. Does it monitor your PC constantly for new virus threats? If it does then its going to use some resources. Norton monitors constantly, and though it uses some memory, I don't notice any slowdowns while its running.

2. I doubt it finds more than Norton. They have huge teams of developers working on ways to neutralize new threats. Chances are, by the time you hear of a virus on the news, Norton already protects against it.

3. Yeah well, Norton is kinda expensive

4. What annoying questions? I can set mine to update automatically, or prompt me before updating.

5. Norton has all of that.

6. Its not hard to set up and use at all.


So, lets see here. I just shot down all but one of your points and using Norton alone. I've heard McAfee is pretty good too, but I've never used it. My dad uses one called PCCillain, but I don't care for it.

1: I DOESN't take extra time while loading any program, and I can load all games without getting stuck while the virusscanner is enabled (with norton I always had to disable it)


2: Yes it monitors my pc constantly with the monitor program but I also don't have to disable it when installing my Nvidia drivers (and with norton this is a must) and also with the other drivers. Furthermore this finds more then norton because it also finds all joke programs around, and trojans and even some ADWARE!

4: On my pc it somehow didn't want to automatically update in Windows XP and the loading times with Windows XP were increased with about 1 minute 30

5: Is Equal

6: You might have a point there with Norton, But I still dislike the large loading times when booting (about 1 and 30 secs extra)
