I recently brought KIS.

I like how KIS7 work. I have used it a lot when it was in Beta.

Before I was using free AV. Avast was nice, Antiv also but there where a anoying pop-up at every updates that even kill my game/movie if I was in Full Screen... :/

I didn't liked my experience with ESET (NOD32) suite. As people say, it's a light AV, but I felt that it was way too skinny.

Eset Smart Security for me. I've just renewed my license for a second time so all in all, I'm very pleased with it (Y) .

I got fed up trying to make eset antivirus 3 work so I switched to bit defender 2008 antivirus. To date I'm impressed with it. I tested it before buying it and also tested kaspersky 7 and 8 beta as well as clamwin. Of all of them I preferred bitdefender 2008. It updates hourly or less and can scan http traffic. Any one else tried Bitdefender 2008 Anitvirus?

Up until recently I had been using Symantec AV Corporate forever.

Then I decided to switch to NOD32 because I was having some memory and cpu usage problems with Symantec's AV. But for some reason NOD32 is giving me cpu usage problems too. When downloading with firefox for exemple, the download doesn't complete (it freezes firefox) and NOD32 cpu usage goes to 50%.

Now I switched to Avira Antivir and it works great with very low memory usage.

I've been looking into it for my new laptop, and BD and KAV seemed to alternate 1-2 in many tests.

Use NOD32 2.7. 3.0 still needs work.

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
