0 SOOPAH256 Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 when i got the nimda virus a couple months ago, mcafee f*cked over my computer. then after reformatting and installing winxp again, i happened to aquire another copy of the nimda virus again, so that time i chose to use norton antivirus 2002, which DID work. so i vote NAV. the tribe has spoken.:D :p ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Gambito Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 McCaffe detect almost every virus but his real time monitoring can really slow down any PC no matter how fast it is. NAV doesn't slow my PC and his operation is practically transparent BUT it can't detect every virus and sending it to Symantec doesn't help as I discovered when I sended a new virus patter a month ago and today NAV still can't identify it. Innoculate-It PE was a very good and free alternative (and it detected this virus NAV can't) but sadly it was descontinued by Computer Associates, now only a comercial and more advanced version of Innoculate-It it's available, EZ-Antivirus and also doesn't slow my PC, a very good performer (and less expensive than the previous ones).
