Post by Demrok »

all I can say is...
SHIT
complete udder GARBAGE.... did not detect anything on my system when I installed the demo
I downloaded the RAV and AVG free stuff, they both found ONE a piece...
AVG first and RAV 2nd... it may have been the same file but AVG called it something different then RAV did...
stick with NAV2003
or AVG and RAV

I'm still using NAV 2001 on my win98 system, and NAV2002 on my Win2k dually. NAV2003 was OK, but I've heard too many horror stories about 2004.

Frankly I recommend AVG. It does it all, it's free, it uses little memory and resources, it won't crash your system when something goes wrong.

I'm a solid fan of NAV 7.61c Corporate, and I'll only change versions when they finally break LiveUpdate and prevent me from getting new signature files.

ditto here. Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition is the way to go. worth every penny. i've had clients that used AVG and wondered why their PCs were so slow... I yanked their drives and scanned 'em w/ NAV Corp.. found literally over a thousand files infected by multiple viruses. They stopped being cheap after that. (at least w/ antivirus)

AVG is not that good. Nav2003 works better for me. AVG did not give me any alert when I got the last round of email viruses. NAV2003 would alert me and dispose of them, leaving a simple text message in the email stating what was found and what was done with it. :)
