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

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
