It’s about some AV company patching the kernel in a none safe way.

Nice…
But what do you suggest?
Should we uninstall antivirus software and never use it?
And… What antivirus program do you use? :confused:

[guido]

I’m not saying you should never use a AV. It was just a informal document. It’s not posible in x64 and Vista to patch the kernel.

At the moment i’m using NOD32.

why didn’t you just call them about it?

What do you mean?

he was advertising something, so he pretended like he was answering in the thread. Hence, the ban :-).

[amh209]

Ok, must not be good at advertisement, because I missed it, either that or I’m just really slow (which is verytrue also). :D

My wallpapers are more cooler, doubts?

now the free MS security essentials

[moles42]

@guido…
I was tempted to try the MS security essentials but thought better of it because of my stable system with Comodo Firewall and Nod32 Anti-Virus but I am interested in hearing your thoughts on the new security essentials.

[amh209]

I’m using MS security essentials on two of my machines. Easy install. No problems with it this far.

[guido]

no problems so far.

[Big_Boss]

I don’t trust any of them. I try to use common sense, but also Microsoft Security Essentials. :)

[moles42]

I did give microsoft security essentials a try but thought it a tad hungry on resources compared to my existing setup.

[spwolf]

i dont use any either… once in a while when some coworker scares me enough, i install our licensed version of fprot… but as usual, even the fastest AVs slow down everything so it does not make sense to have very fast computer only to give half of it to AV :)

[RJWaring]

Currently I use McAfee Secuirty Centre as provided Free of charge by My ISP SKY.

But it McAfee like Norton take so much resource from our Systems that in the long run it becomes a problem rather than a cure.

However, I have been working with the Avast Team on the new version of Avast Internet Secuirty and Antivirus. It has just been released too so give it a trial…

It is a much simpler interface and less bitty like the old version and on of the main advantages is the reduced impact on system resources… It is deffinetely something I will be implementing and recomending to friends and clients.

Risky wouldn’t you say Boss?
not using any of them on a regular basis surely leaves you open to attacks?
I’d love to be in a position where I didn’t need either but in this day and age that’s definitely not an option.

You want a laugh! I once had the same view… I would once every month install a virus checker update do a deep scan then uninstall it.

This technique worked for 1 year! then one morning i decided to boot the computer up… and Nothing it would not recognise the MFT or the OS… I ran a Recovery disc and managed to get into Safe Mode, after installing Avast I did a boot scan and it found 102 Threats most 10 were back door root kits which then downloaded in other files…

Thank GOD i wasnt into internet banking… Now I dare work or play on my system without a Hardware Firewall, Software Firewall and Spyware, Mallware and Virus Protection. :D
