I downloaded trial version.
I scanned my HDD, and it detected a lot of trojans and backdoors, about 10.

Anybody using it? KAV 2009 or KIS 2009

Hi
I am using KAV 2009. Just bought it. I think its great. Atleast better than the NORTON or AVG

It does have a good scan engine and plus definitions are updated on a daily bases, Atleast thats what I noticed.

[Linksys713]

I use KAV 2009. I just bought it yesterday, it works great. I haven't had any problems since I installed it. I used to use Bit Defender but after installing I got a BSOD.

If it's any help you can check up on the top anti-virus companies at virus bulletin.

Norton and the Competition
What Do You Think About Kaspersky Antivirus 2009?

Don't go around making claims about Norton without even trying out 2009. 2009 smokes the competition. Try it now: ymantec.Com/norton/internet-security

The bad thing about Norton is the Update Size.
Ppl still use dial-ups and I dont think its a good idea for a dial-up person to imagine about downloading 45 -60 MB

Also, I've seen viruses specifically written to break down Norton and McAfee antivirus. If they bypass the scan, they can render your system useless

Norton
What Do You Think About Kaspersky Antivirus 2009?

Norton Update sizes are less than 1 mb. An new build of Norton was a 5mb LiveUpdate download.

And I am sorry, however Norton beats kaspersky in all the major virus tests: av-test.Org and av-comparitives.

And passmark Ranks Norton as the fastest security suite out of all paticipating suites.

You seem to support Norton through and through.I thought Norton sucked before but my uncle recommended the 2009 versionAnd told me they improved it alot!I still have doubts though ...

Can you tell me if Norton is efficient even if your machine uses a P2P software or bit torrents?

NortonWhat Do You Think About Kaspersky Antivirus 2009?

I;ve just installed Norton Internet Security 2009 and I must admit I'm impressed.  I was never a fan of this software because it was always so slow and hogged system resources.  that's why I started to use Nod 32 a couple of years ago with a separate firewall..  I then upgraded to the Eset Smart Security system and I was impressed by this although I did notice the odd trojan or backdoor would sneak past but thats where the firewall came in.  I put it in interactive mode and then I was asked when a program wanted access to the internet or if the internet wanted access to a program on your PC.  This I find is the only downside of Norton IS firewall component.  I have also tried the Comodo security package (free) the last few days but I found the lack of antispam for your email a big minus.  For speed I have to admit the guys at passmark are correct,  this is the fastest security suite that I have ever seen.

 Here's a list of what I've tested the last few weeks.

Norton IS 2009 - Great suite, fast, doesn't hog resources.  The only thing is the interactivity of the firewall. The AV is superb and the antispam works a treat.

 Eset Smart Security-  A close second.  Is a little slower and I don't find the av to as effective as Norton.  The firewall is excellent and the antispam also.

Zone Alarm - The worst of the 3.  Caused a lot of problems on my PC and it was removed again the same day.  Avoid this one.

For those of you that want free protection.  I found that a great combo is Comodo Security Suite but because it doesnt have antispam I use Bullguard.  I didn't get any complications and the 2 programs seemed to work well together.

KASPERKSKY IS THE BEST 100% BEST VIRUS I HAVE ever used, and i have learned of a way to get free keys but i believe its illegal therefore i will not say anything =P

[iGuest]

I'm using Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS) 2009 v 8.0.0.454. It's great. You should buy KIS 2009. This is better than MCAfee, Norton, AVG. It in NO.2 in Top Ten Antivirus ranking. No.1 is BitDefender Total Security 2009.

Well, I have used norton, avast, avira, mcafee, nod 32.Sorry to say the lovers of those...ALL R SAMENow I m using KIS 2009. I am sure it is the best. Dude, u r using a machine so costly. Then why cheap or free protection?Go and get a licensed KIS 2009. U should buy the 3 user. It will be less costly.-reply by Rishav

[TheDisturbedOne]

I'm thinking of getting KAV 2010. The trial was nice, though I didn't have any viruses. Right now, I'm just running another trial and a freeware virus protection.

[nnsoccer]

Kaspersky is a good antivirus, but on slow machines it's a bad antivirus. But for defence it's the best

[TheDisturbedOne]

I'm running it on 256MB of RAM and it works perfectly fine. Might be a problem with a specific computer, or if you were running on 128MB of RAM.

Not a fan of KAV, btw BitDefender is the one to use these days, so try and find a working version for your OS.

Me personally I use ESET NOD 32 Antivirus.

[shangshaptak]

Kaspersky is great, one of the best out there....but I do believe that AVG and Avira, the free ones, are just as good. I have used all of them for an extensive period of time and the free products kept my pc just as squeaky clean as kaspersky did. Although AVG can hog processor time, avira is really lightweight so that's my current favorite.

BTW, nod32 is utter crap. I tried it out twice, just to give it a benefit of doubt, both times my pc was infected with multiple trojans.

[iGuest]

Well I got all the antivirus test on my computer I used avira and kaspersky and norton I got to say norton inprove alot of things in hes last security but they don't have alot of firewall they have a good one but after I used them I saw some viruses and spywares on my pc the last one I tested is zonealarm and I the last version and I got to say is not to slow just use 200mb of my ram and is like avira but not all of them are the best because after they got new viruses they have to put another update thats why some viruses got into your computer before upgrading but I ahve to say they are very good securitis

[TheDarkHacker]

I know that Kaspersky is very good anti-virus.I was using one old version.But i did one remove and Kaspersky was deleted.After half year i got one virus because i was using Avira.Now i can see that Kaspersky was very good anti-virus but after deleting it i destroyed my computer.Now i am using Avast 4.8 Home and i don't know nothing about Kaspersky AV 2009.I can just see good topics on other forums that Kaspersky is the best anti-virus.I can't change Avast because now it's my favorite Anti-Virus but i get money go buy it i will use Kaspersky...I never use illegal way to get thing which is my security.

[rpgsearcherz]

My vote is to do one of the following:

Use no Antivirus
or
Use AVG


AVG is very lightweight and has the capabilities of the more "mainstream" Antivirus programs.

I personally don't use one because I don't go around downloading everything I can find. Therefore, I don't get virii.

You want to promote AVG... Just explain good,why you want to use AVG?One friend had AVG and he got virus.Nothing happened but AVG didn't save the computer,NOD32 save it. There are people that say my anti-virus is the best,my anti-virus is the best but they can't prove that.Every anti-virus application have bugs or some viruses aren't scanned so i think if your AV allows,you should use 2 anti-viruses one should be normal like AVG and one premium anti-virus like Avast.But usually anti-virus package scan directories for the most popular anti-viruses.

True, I used to use Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 but a mistake they made was that they got hacked. Although kaspersky did protect me for a while, the funny thing is that my computer went crazy right after kaspersky got hacked. So now i use NOD 32 internet security 4.0 so far its running smooth, fast, no viruses, if it gets any it tells me quickly and stops them from doing anything asap, best thing of it is that it updates its virus list contently not only that but it does not even hog the Internets speed. Kaspersky however did hog my computer's resources a the bandwidth while it was uploading.
Only negative thing about NOD it takes around 2 days for it to scan my whole computer. =[
However i have been hearing Nortron 2009 has been doing really good this year....
Time to think of changing virus protectors.

AVG gives off a lot less "false positives" than others. Just because NOD32 "saved" you doesn't mean it wasn't just a false positive.

There are hundreds of safe programs that log as virii in some AV's and not in others. It really doesn't prove much.
