cykosis Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I use Avira now and am glad to see a free option rated so highly. AVIRA AntiVir Premium 8.1 is the version they use. Whether or not the added features in the paid version contribute to its score significantly is the real question for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denholm Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 AVIRA AntiVir Premium 8.1 is the version they use. Whether or not the added features in the paid version contribute to its score significantly is the real question for you. ...and Version 9 is in beta right now. But after it flagged most of my system files as infected with a HEUR.something I promptly uninstalled it and sent feedback to Avira. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trag3dy Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I tried the new Kaspersky Internet Security thing and I didn't like it at all. Maybe it was just the mode I had it running or something, but I've never had so many annoying popups from another firewall/antivirus internet security suite before. I had to confirm the same thing some times as many as 10 times before it would stop asking. Really annoying. Oh well..switched back to Eset Smart Security, using the new beta now and it's great so far. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chosen One Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 so does this mean I should switch to Nod32 from Kaspersky? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Y) put it on smart mode if you don't want the prompts. or if you have it on manual, then you could get some very useful information from the prompts, which'll help you get rid of the repeat prompts. Most of the time it's due to inherited permissions. so does this mean I should switch to Nod32 from Kaspersky? lol no, benchmarks come up with different results every month. it depends on the functionality that you need.

thealexweb Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Kaspersky is usually a Advance+ it must be borderline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pupik Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Check out NIS 2009. Or KAV 2009, which I moved back to from NOD32 this month (because of this: link). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PermaSt0ne Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) I'm not 100% sure, but I think Comodo would have to request to be tested. AVG is terrible imho. they have to pay money in order to be tested i used to use NOD but i switched to Avira Free. generally it gets a better score in all the online testing sites and it's free Edited December 20, 2008 by PermaSt0ne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skulltrail Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Why isn't NOD32 on the chart? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
