NAV vs. NOD32 - Page 2

Nefarious · 10-22-2004, 01:48 AM

I think it's just the new versions of NAV that is the problem. I get free NAV from the school (aka Skule

) the corperate edition and it doesn't slow down windows at all. I find it to be very light. I DO find that NAV/NSW 2004 caused major slowdown on my computer when i had it installed. Main thing I don't like about NAV in general, is that scans take FOREVER!

No, I use NAV04- But I am NOD curious. Maybe in the future, i will try. I dont care for AVG. I have seen it miss too many viruses everytime I use it, I just havent had much luck with it.

Has anyone else had such trouble with avg? This makes me wonder whether a free antivirus solution is all that good.

NOD32 - The fastest, most resources friendly and easier to use than the competition

"NOD32 is definitely the fastest and the most resources friendly Antivirus", as quoted in PC3 magazine.
NOD32 is the perfect solution for all clients including Home Users, SMBs and Corporate.

I've been reading about firewalls and virus scanners in an attempt to select a new one of each...this seemed relevant to the current discussion here.
This seems to go against their heuristics claims

"AV-Test gauged heuristics by scanning files containing the newest malware with versions of each program that had last been updated three months prior. McAfee and AVG performed best, catching 70.1 percent and 65.6 percent, respectively, of infected files; NOD32 did worst, at 41.4 percent.

For each antivirus program, AV-Test used the highest possible settings to scan an infected hard drive, though NOD32 was a special case. Beyond the level of heuristics available for disk scans, NOD32 has a higher level called Advanced Heuristics for scanning incoming e-mail and Web traffic (the main routes of infection). AV-Test gauged NOD32's Advanced Heuristics using an undocumented command-line instruction (nod32.exe /AH) to turn the feature on for a disk scan. With its Advanced Heuristics enabled, NOD32's detection rate jumped to 53.5 percent."

On the other hand NOD32's speed claims seem validated:

"Sluggishness was the biggest drawback to Norton's suite. In informal tests, system startups and shutdowns took about twice as long with Norton installed as with PC-cillin or NOD32, which had the least-discernible performance impact. Norton was the slowest at running a full disk scan, too, requiring about 12 minutes on a Windows XP Pro system equipped with an 800-MHz Pentium III processor, 256MB of RAM, and a 5400-rpm hard drive with 575MB of data. NOD32 was the fastest program, at only 52 seconds. (Norton had better detection rates than NOD32, however.) PC-cillin was the next fastest at just over 2.5 minutes."
