Kaspersky 7 vs NOD32


Question

So I read that NOD32 isnt doing too well in its detection compared to Kaspersky - and Kaspersky is now apparently pretty damn light, so lemme ask - whats the fastest performer out of the 2?

Im using NOD32 on Vista at the moment and dont particularly wanna change but if I can get better detection at the same if not better performance.

Why the hell not? XD

What I like about NOD32 is that it doesn't ask you many questions and sits quietly. When other anti-virus programs take ages to set up. In addition to that NOD32 is quite powerful as well - for 1 year I've been using it and my computer is still fine.

Also I think NOD32 is cheaper than Kaspersky 7.

Vote for KIS 7.

Last version atm is 7.0.0.125.

We are testing new, but beta heuristics server in Kaspersky forum.

I love this product, its nice and only over 20MB ram usage(Kaspersky Internet Security)

Virus detection is very good:

And v8 will be released at the end of the year.

Many improvents coming and firewall going better:

i used to use KAV and was very satisfied with it, but then after upgrading to a new version it became in-compatible with my firewall so i had to switch to NOD. and now i'm satisfied with NOD just as well as KAV

they are both top-notch products and both have been rated #1 for years in various categories. so it's a matter of preference now days imo

just pick which one you like the best. kav is more user friendly (lots of graphics) and is more interactive. NOD is more buisness style. but both have stellar detection rates

    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
