BitDefender 10 is great and far too under-appreciated! :cool:

Don't trust some arbitrary lists posted without source!

The following are the results of a test done by the German PC magazine "chip" (www.chip.de).

As was to be expected, Norton sucks badly. (btw, 1 Euro=US$ 1.28275, see www.xe.com)

Hmm, looked into NOD32 just now, but it says you only buy it for a year. That's pretty crappy that you need to purchase it EVERY year. Isn't there a way around that? That just sounds so stupid, otherwise i'd be tempted to buy.

What do you mean "around that"? :whistle:

You can purchase a two year license for NOD32 for slightly cheaper than the one year license. Also, returning customers get a discount IIRC.

I'm using AVG (residend scanning), but i have aloso Avast at my system (not resident) to scann some potencial files.

Why? AVG let in 2 viruses to my system at 2006, Avast recognize it. System with resident AVG is more stable than with resident Avast.

I wish I could change my vote from Norton to NOD32. NOD32 is awesome. Doesn't run as slow as Kaspersky did for me. I'm not saying Kaspersky is bad. It just ran a little slow for me.

Is v3 of NOD32 suppose to have a new UI? I think saw something about that awhile back.

did someone give the AOL suite a try ? They're based on the Kaspersky engine.

But i heard also negatives about AOL Active shield, eg. transmitting of user-data , basically does what it's supposed to get *rid* of.

If someone can give that a test, please let me know. I can put your review/article on my site :)

Yes, the screenshots here should give you an idea of the direction they're heading in: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=134615

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.

      I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
