What Antivirus Sucks to the MAX!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Little_Mac]

I’ve used an Enterprise version of Norton/Symantec quite recently and it had heuristics (although I don’t recall it offering any control over the level, etc), but it didn’t have any bloodhounds that I’m aware of. I wonder how they managed that?

I’m not a big fan of Avira, either. Has nothing to do with detection ratios (on either one). I don’t like the sales/upgrade module’s behavior (what is it, AVNotify?). So I’d have to buy the full version, and if I’m going to pay, I’ll just get Nod as it is a quality AV (IMO) and has the best compatibility of any I’ve seen (the least # of problems with other security software).

Kaspersky’s got a good engine, but it hates firewalls (especially Comodo) so I won’t go that route!

PS: See, I said I wanted to vote more than once… And don’t get me started of McAfee! IMO, they (as a company/policy) suck scummy pond water through a bent straw! (:AGY)

The results on those sites are indeed interesting, my friend.

While I totally do agree with the fine results presented for Avira (which all of them seem to have copied from better sites…) - well, you know my opinion on Avira, I guess, and this ain’t a new opinion -

I am not too sure about that strange proggie only named in russian letters on site 1, though
(obviously cheap form of advertizing?) lol

Site No.2, virusinfo.gr, are obviously not up to date, with telling you a squared free only has 50 percent detection rate. (even if it is an antitrojan in the first place, which means the test is ■■■■.) because they used version 2. !!! It should be at least one of the 3.XX versions…
OMG this version is about half a year old, if not older? how can this be? Not just unfair, but really really poor testing behaviour… It really seems Zeus has left some of his folks.

Site No.3 is right with Avira, but does not make clear if it’s the plus or the free version. Also poor.
I guess they all use stolen info from more reliable sites (remember the dubious site you promoted not too long ago?) and then do with this info what they like to:

a) be true
b) be almost true, but advertize their own stty product as being even better than the real best ones
c) use some true and some false results, and then tell you st about their malware which they do declare the best (buy it and get f…, you know? including christmas greetings from Russia, or, if less lucky, even China…)

All i can see is they all don’t even dare to touch Avira.

Cheers

Look I like Avira too. But are you taking your Fandom of Avira to a FANATIC level!!! Pls, Be more open minded, & dont always believe what you see in the net as the truth. Like I said, “LIGHTEN UP MAN” (:CLP)

See this even AV-Comparatives recognizes the legitimacy of these sites

http://www.av-comparatives.org/forum/index.php?page=Board&boardID=5

Are you smarter than AV Comparatives & all of the testing sites.!!! Why dont you make your own Antivirus Comparsion Testing Site if you think if you are that SMART!!! (:AGY)

Maybe we could call it the “Morphos Rebol Antivirus Comparison Test”, Better than All independent Sites!!!, Happy now!! ;D

Note: You are not a computer virulogist, do not pretend to be one!!! :■■■■
Stop being a “Know it all” & be more Humble.

Morphos Rebol Antivirus Comparison Testing Site,

"Everything else is a lie, only this site say the truth??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Actually Im using Kaspersky Antivirus version 7 with Comodo version 2.4 & it work fine, all you have to do is add Comodo to kaspersky trusted application Lists, Hope this helps.!!!

Well, being fairly new to the forum here it does surprise me about the bashing of any product to the extent that I’ve just read here. We all are different in our looks, beliefs, likes and dislikes. That’s what makes the world turn. I tend to believe in this philosophy in crude terms which is…“Different strokes for different folks”. I have my preferences of different softwares as we all do. But, I am not going to just use idle time to bash and keep bashing something I don’t care for. I just won’t use it. Anyway, everyone here is free to express their opinions which according to some is “forum Democracy”? Strange, but it does exist. You folks have a great day coming up.

Hi all, I think the ‘bashing’ has gone far enough in this thread. Any more and I’ll lock it. Please keep your comments sensible, and please, no more bad mouthing other vendors products.

Thank you.

I hope that ‘no bashing’ policy doesn’t include Micro$oft it brings such joy to so many. (:LGH)

[Little_Mac]

Given that this poor horse seems to have kicked quite enough , the topic has been locked and moved to the General section, where it seems a more appropriate fit.

Toggie is quite right - we all have our favorite products, and we may love to bash the “big boys” but we need to keep it at a higher level; certainly when things start getting personal.
