NIS 2009

Comm let me know how NIS does in testing before I get my machine. ready. and I will never go back to NOD32. Avast will always be a great free av. What happens when you go to the eicar test site?

KIS firewall is weak ? ??? WTH are you talking about ? It’s not the best, but it’s not weak :slight_smile: Read the PC Mag review on it :slight_smile:

NIS 2008 scored only 32 % on Matousec and I doubt that NIS 2009 took it much further. (we’ll see about that though)
KIS 7 scored 85 % and reached level 10.

(And I’m not a Kaspersky Fan-Boy >:()

Perhaps not the best AV 2008, but maybe it’ll be in the top for 2009. :slight_smile:


RAM usage is not everything, but it’s an easy way to compare applications. Anyone knows how many MB NIS uses?

13 - 15 MB on Vista SP1. About 50 when doing a full scan :slight_smile: But the scan is much slower than with CIS or KIS :slight_smile:

;D Installing internet security, and yea so far it’s realy good (:HUG)

In short - Congrats to Symantec for this latest release. Norton 2009 made a nice kick to the ballz (as Rejzor would say ;D)
It’s great, now hopefully other AV vendors will take notice and improve their products. All of these AV and Firewall wars are beneficial to us - users :-TU
I’m just intrested, how many will jump to Symantec’s ship and how long they’ll have to wait for hackers to make a ■■■■■ or a keygen for Norton 2009 ;D

I’m not saying that I won’t end up using Norton, but …Symantec, I don’t like you !

Does it provide any system protection now ?

What do you mean ? Detection rates ? 88)

I mean protecting system directories or important registry entries ^^

This is a realy zweet feature i think: http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee208/petpetpetpet/Naamloos-6.jpg
reduces the scan times alot (:KWL)

It’s simply whitelisting :slight_smile:

Thx for the info :slight_smile:

Hey guys,

What’s about all the hypes lately… First CIS, then Norton 2009.

My thought of it :
FINALLY

It became time they did something about the recources, but now do something about the detection I mean, it’s still way below par, and don’t show off with any stupid test results anybody. Just face it, it’s detection is still not good enough for the developers strenght it has, even live-updates take a lot of time before they’re out.

Now !ot! : Oh yeah, KIS really has the worst firewall ever 88). Ever tried testing it yourself Vet ? Common, KIS is THE best IS firewall ever (matousec)

Just my thought of it

why is norton live-date slow? it checks for updates every 15 min. Some moderator on norton’s forum said: every 15 min norton will check for new updates. We splitt the updates into little peices so that you get the new defenitions faster. When ya start up your pc, norton will download the newest updates, it then download’s the big update. Every 4 hours a big update with all the small updates from every 15 are included in that one. Atleast that’s what i understand from it lol ;D

It doesn’t mean it checked that it downloaded the files also :). I think IF symantec succeeds giving updates every 4 hours, they’re doing a good job…

Norton has always been good in tests. AV Comparatives and VB100. Around 98%.

There are alot of happy users and testers over at Wilders. No negative posts at all and you know how they are over there.

The “I hate Norton” era is over. Now a new era “I love Norton” begins ;D People have no dignity. To be stuck in the past with an outdated technology AV is stupid, but to praise and love the company you’ve hated just yesterday is also hard to understand for me :slight_smile: Now a guy, who’ll say - I’ve been using Norton all the time since 2003 will not be laught at. He will be saluted, cos he was so smart and farsighted. ;D

Vett, well you should use Norton. You are an American afterall :wink:

Since when do you listen to what they say at Wilders? ;D
Taking advice from “crazy” people?
