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.

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.
