G-data made played around with those engines to make them complement each other without conflicts.
Eric…you may be a modder but you are COMPLETELY wrong. Installing 2 real time anti viruses,each with its own service and processes is COMPLETELY and totally different then what G-Data has accomplished. They combine 2 av engines into one but not separate services or processes. Two anti viruses fighting over the same piece of malware is not a good thing.
g data does not use kaspersky anymore, they are using avast and bitdefender now.
Not necessarily but something to try with caution and restraint. When a user doesn’t feel like experimenting it is something I would not recommend.
Thanks for updating my knowledge here. I reread an AV test of CT Magazine of May 2008 that tested GData AV 2008. Apparently they changed.
I said yes to u before, but i didnt had any trouble at all using rising antivirus 2009 + CIS together,
So if i was at your place i would be saying same thing as you are saying but trust me this combination work without any problem, it doesnt stop anyones process either, no clashes, both updating fine, scanning fine, no real impact on pc as well.
Thats the case atleast with me, but there is no point in saying you guys are wrong, because you speaking from your experience, My experience now differ,
some one suggested me to try avira, i tried it but at that time i used free version it lacked antispyware detection in it, now they have it , but now free version dont have some features like webguard, and many other so i dont like partial protection.
Kaspersky is again paid antivirus its one of best though, but my preference is to use and encourage free antivirus softwares,
I tried avast but it also is not completely free antivirus, as in home version it lacks some features as its explained on there website.
So, Rising antivirus 2009 gives total protection free of charge, its reputed passed benchmark test from av-comparatives etc. so i trust it, i also send suspicious files to them to improve there Software.
As no antivirus can detect 100% of malwares, no matter which one is being used.
But i m sure CAV will detect 99% of them soon as in the way new signatures are being added so rapidly to CAV.
Thanks.
Hey there again deven
just a quick note on Avast, the free version is a full version, but it only lacks advanced user interface and some small bonusses… But in the end, the protection is just the same as the PRO version
Rising is good, certainly the 2009 version, but in my opinion, it seems to lack some western malware ?
Avira + Kaspersky : nothing to say about these products, they’re simply the best of the moment. (regarding AV !)

You DO NOT need a web guard. As long as your av catches things when executed your all set. Web guards or web shields are over rated and only slow your browsing down. Yes maybe you can successfully run 2 av’s together. Thats not the point. The problem is when you become infected. Which av is going to cure it. Who knows. Maybe neither cause nobody knows who’s job it is first and there will be clashing. Running 2 av’s together maybe an easy task but running 2 av’s together against a malware attack is entirely different. CAV has along way till it reaches 99% effectiveness. Like years. BTW I clean infected pc’s for a part time job. I do know what I am doing and see infections every day.
I had malware attack when i inserted my friend’s pendrive, it had 6 viruses in it, CAV was very quick to detect 5 of them and quarantined it 1 was missed by comodo it got cleaned by rising antivirus 2009, i had malwares problems whenever i get friend’s pen drive, dvd’s etc. and also some from my own, by going to cracks websites and other reason,
but Vettetech your view is correct you are speaking from global perspective taking into account many other people who might try 2 antivirus together they can have the trouble which you are stating. so i agree from your perspective. thanks for replying.
@ eXperience i agree 100% with you but my point is why to have these few bonuses to paid people, why not make antivirus free. Thats one of reason i love Comodo it gives best to users
FREE.
I dont know if rising antivirus 2009 lacks some western malwares, but you see with thousands of people constantly submitting suspicious files to rising antivirus 2009 they will be benifited more, the Trump card at times is users in my view atleast and they make big difference,
Thats the reason comodo also developing thousands of new virus signatures too.
Rising antivirus if missed anything then it will not pass test made by reputed testing firms like av-comparatives etc.
■■■■ i sound like marketing agent for Rising antivirus 2009 LOL.
But yeah i love it as well.
Apart from all these things i know that webguard etc. dont needed for extra protection as everything coming in memory gets scanned by antivirus.
Hi Buttons3
You could get both of them, even though Vette only suggested only one. You can run both avast and avira together without any conflict. I know because I tried them myself. Currently, I’m running CIS (including the AV) with Avira 9 free and ZoneAlarm ForceField, with no conflict. I was thinking of sandboxie however, I have a 64 bit computer running vista and sandboxie is not compatible with vista 64 bit computers.
My advice to you is to try a lot of combos and then us the one that best suits your needs and your surfing behavior.
Peace.
Vette we had that discussion before and by nature I like trouble ;D. Two AVs, to me, are fine. It is the security companies that are writing their codes in a way to purposely conflicting with their competitors’ products; it is all business and the bottom line, nothing else. F-secure is notorious in that regard, it even asked me to uninstall part of my NVDIA components. TrendMicro does not like its competitors products on my computer also. Trend even asked me to uninstall ForceField, go figure.
Peace Vette. :a0
ForceField is a resource hog. I have no idea why your using it when you have CIS. As far as 2 av’s. Once again show me your proof that 2 is better then 1. Come on show me. Explain how Avira is always on top and has been for years and its just “1” av. I do this for a living. I know what works and what doesn’t.
No No No. On my computer no slow down. When was the last time you tried it? Last century or something. ;D
Peace Vette ;D
the fact that Avira is always on top is irrelevant, since Avira does not catch everything. Not so long ago I had a deadly brew of rootkits, rogues, and any piece of malware that you could think of in my VM Avira left a lot malware behind while Norton cleaned everything. Did that mean that Norton is better than Avira? The answer is no. Also I bet there could be some tests where Norton will not be able to detect and clean everything and vice versa.
By the way you claimed that Avira is always on top, well Vette on top of what, detecting or cleaning. Don’t get me wrong I like Avira but to be fair and honest I cannot say it is always on top. At least not according to the latest Av-test.org test posted on PCWorld:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/158157/top_internet_security_suites_paying_for_protection.html
Two AVs allow me to complement my security apparatus. Whatever one lacks the other one could fill the void.
Peace Vette, Two Avs rock yeah…
PC World is a joke. If you do not know what I mean about on top then you have no idea what Av Comparatives is. I also said Avira. Not Avira suite. Avira’s firewall sucks I do admit that but I did not say suite. PC World always votes Norton #1. Once again Jaki. Show me proof. Come on show me documents and tests that 2 av’s can run perfect togther with no conflicts when it comes to fighting malware. Show me proof that running 2 av’s means your better protected then running 1. Also that review is old and Avira is now version 9.
Forcefield runs 4 processes and takes about 40K of memory. Just tested it last month.
http://www.av-comparatives.org/
Real tests. Not reviews.
Vettetech all viruses can not be detected by any antivirus 100% u agree with it also i think, 2nd part is at times with me as given you real example the malware came in pendrive 5 of them got detected by CAV, but 1 malware was missed by it, that was being caught and cleaned by Rising antivirus 2009.
If i only had CAV Then i might have been infected by that one virus which was missed. Is that proof enough,
I did not made video of it yet, but if you want next time i catch anything like that i can give you video proof.
having said this i have have total respect for your knowledge in pc field, and i respect you but at times there are some thing is pc world we dont know until we see them that they are real as well.(New possibilities are always there we just have to open our focus to it thats deven the philosopher in action :a0) but thats what i follow also its rather way of life for me.
It was not PC world who did the testing it was actually av-test.org. Also av-test.org posts their results on virus bulletin as well. For example, they posted their September 2008 test there. Here the September test link:
Vette I think you confused PC World with PC Mag, PC Mag is the one who always put Norton on top not PCWorld. However, you have first to evaluate the evidence before you can say that anybody’s testing, for that matter, is a joke. Don’t you think?
They Av-Test.org shows also that Avira (AntiVir) is poor at cleaning detected malware such as rootkits for example, read the review first. Do not forget that I love Avira also, as well as CIS, I’m just being honest.
Peace Vette and remember 2 AVs rock. :a0
Here is the proof that two separate AVs (Avast and BitDefender) can protect you without any cries and tears of conflicts:
Willkommen
Peace.
Ummm Jaki. Did you even look at the link or read it that you posted to Virusbulletin. Avira has the highest score next to G-Data. DUH. And once again Jaki you are being so blind. What is it going to take to make you realize that G-Data is ONE ANTI VIRUS ALONE. It uses 2 scanning engines but still its only one program with its own processes. Running Avira and CIS or Avast and KAV together is COMPLETELY different. You really need to get a clue. Have you ever installed G-Data. I have. And guess what. It doesn’t install Avast and BitDefender separately. It installs G-Data. So until you can combine CIS and Avira together as one program then I suggest you stop with your non sense. You cannot do what G-Data has accomplished. Period.
