I'm addicted to CIS 'cause of it's inclusion of a firewall into its antivirus software
Reviewing 8.0.0.1082 Technical Preview (Jun 22, 2010)
I was running McAfee previously and if I had to run a scan of any kind, I may as well just walk away from the PC and let it run. With Kaspersky, I can run a scan of any kind and still use my PC as if there was nothing else running. Kaspersky is not a resource hog so it allows you to run multiple programs without bogging down. I like the detailed reports on any detections as well, and even how the reports show you what needs to be done to resolve the issues.
Reviewing 11.0.0.232 (Jun 9, 2010)
1. Thrashes your HDD by constantly (every 5 seconds) writing to registry - reasons are unknown and never disclosed (the exact location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\kl1\OutData and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\kl1\InData).
2. Thrashes your HDD by constantly updating virus signatures cache files (and never cleans cache files directory and this directory can grow to several hundred megabytes).
2. Implication from point 2: causes excessive files fragmentation.
Otherwise it's the *best* AV around.
Reviewing 11.0.0.232 (Jun 8, 2010)
Great anti-virus software, only downside is that recent versions have made my system slow down considerably. I installed MSE as a comparison, and the difference in performance greatly favoured MSE. KAV seems to keep scanning the same core files over and over again even though it has settings to not do this.
Previous paragraph, 2006, Bitdefender top one of these browsers, I have started poorly and liked it, but after 6 months of use it makes the machine slower and less effective after a series of new virus appears, then Kaspersky has been The average top 1 or 2 something and lie on the ranking of Bitdefender, I started mixing test, after 3 months, kav mistakenly kill their programs. Tired of it ..
Then I switched to bkav license for 2 years, the first year of use ok, then a slightly less bkav resource accounts, but years later a more serious update, every scan up many resources and slow machine, then a kind of viral replication occurs and bkav bundle in hand with it though results have been reported killed, but after boot virus that number doubled, frustrated contract, they move through KIS sketchy, it is at version 8. After a time using the key shared online free, I feel very good, do not kill that mistake before, there is every scan bit slow ...
Last time then its wrong decision can cost a ... and the market price at that time was floating around 50/1key, must now reach 150 to 200 for the KIS ... now I was very pleased ...
But not because of that that I met, I have been tested by Norton IS, AdAware (during 2010) ... 2 This guy is extremely slow and even crash the system now has many versions but the technology press is complaining about this, and not like yourself slowly ...
Then also test the Panda, Trend Micro Internet Security ... that is passable ...
Then each test well through the key Avira Premium subscribers during the promotion, then AVG is a ***** ... but also boring and poorly understood, confused the ***** away its software, and also test the avast 5 shows a bit happy about it but slightly less effective in killing the virus completely. .. Nevertheless, after testing Avast version 6, you see the interface is intuitive, but still not satisfied, recently released version 7, you are associated with the interface and its features ...
But now Internet Security Pro has slightly higher costs .... Who has been sketchy for sharing this version feel about it, thank you much ...
