Between these two alone, NOD32. Between Norton, NOD32 and Kaspersky...I choose Kaspersky.

Why Kaspersky ? Onto a PII computer it will cause low responses to the other's applications. I'm telling this because I have one. The NOD32 Antivirus is better for me.If i've had to choose between NOD32 and Kaspersky i personally choose NOD32. It's more stable and my system feel's fine.Kaspersky eat at least 10mb of your RAM memory , otherwise NOD32 eat's only 4.7mb.

[Tokar]

Ive used KAV on a Pentium 4, Pentium 3, Pentium 2, Pentium M, Core 2 Duo, Celeron M, Athlon XP, Athlon T-Bird, Athlon64....all of them work perfectly fine with KAV...

[happyandyk]

i terms of detection AND successful removal and resource utilization, i too rate kaspersky and nod32, before norton.

[abullbar]

Nod outclasses both these apps especially Norton .

[JurgenDoe]

I'm using KAV and never had any slowing down problems. NOD32 is good too but I prefer KAV (IMG:style_emoticons/default/peacefingers.gif)

Can either one of them remove the virtumonde trojan?

Nod 32 is one of the best paid antiviruses out on the market at the moment, if you want a free one I would think you should go for avast! home edition. Nod 32 has recieved many awards for its greateness as exhibited on the nod32 website.

nod32 is much better than norton,so u must go for nod32 only.
Nod32 Advantages over norton :
-doesn't makes system slow
-gets updated automatically
-requires less space
etc.

I prefer Bit Defender Total Security 2008. So Far so good

[emperordarius]

Kaspersky is fast and has the best detection rate and fastest updates. Just wait for version 2009 to come out.

[Mercy Seat]

Anything but 'Norton' which is bloated and overrated.

I operate Nod32. This my preference.

Actually dont go for anything, just purchase Nod32. Its much better.

[austin22]

If there are more antivirus software are in the internet.
I think the Norton is not more advanced than nod32.It is available easily.
The usage of nod32 is much better.
If there is any new antivirus software will update and inform in this site forum.

Vote for NOD32, it's lightweight.. I used to have Norton in my PC but since it's not very 'clever' to clean a virus but deleting it I change to Kaspersky (it's slighty heavier than NOD32) then to NOD32 till today and I have no problem (yet?) using this antivirus.. One thing, in my experience NOD32 have more false alarm than Kaspersky. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/notangel.gif)

NORTON ESTE JALNIC.ITI SUGEREZ SA RENUNTI LA EL

[peterpedler]

I VOTE NEITHER -

- Norton slows my machine and eats up my system resources.
- Nod32 i simply dont car for after alot of testing and eval.

I am currently evaluating DriveSentry 3.1. Deffinately worth a look if your interested in a more up-to-date way to protect your system and data.

let me know your thoughts - found this software through WILDERS SECURITY FORUM. they love it on there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/coolspeak.gif)

[16 Software]

Check out virus.gr and AV-Comparatives.org. As far as free anti-viruses go, Avira AntiVir has the best detection rate. It works well for me... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Im also running DriveSentry 3.1 as part of my free security setup. I have been testing its capibilities for 3 months now after coming accross a series of very interesting YouTube videos called the AntiVirus showdown . drivesentry has the best detection rate by far...

Its better than anything else iv seen of late.

nice to see there are oter people aware of this new software

keep us posted...

cheers, Potterage.

[mohsen1]

the best choose is : norton
norton is very powerfull

NORTON IS BEST ANTI_VIRUS IN THE WORLD

[engineeranish]

No doubt that NOD32 is best. Its so fast and takes very less RAM . And moreover , virus detection of NOD32 is also much better than Norton .

As far as detection goes, according to the latest on-demand comparative test from AV Comparatives ( http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/ergebnisse_2008_02.php ), both scored the same, but this does not mean the products are of the same quality. NOD32 has a better overall performance and a LOT less bloatware included. Though if i were to choose an AV product i'd choose neither of those two. I'd go for KAV or Avira.

Between these I'd have to say NOD32 simply because it uses a fraction of the system resources as opposed to the well-known resource hog Norton that almost froze still my PC when I tried it (even if the PC had, at the time, only 512 MB RAM). NOD 32 performed quite well in identifying viruses and also in keeping the system running smoothly.

However, nowadays I'm more of a Kaspersky and Avira fan as they provide strong security features, are easy to customize and use significantly less RAM than the Norton solution.

[crysty2k5]

Please check the lastest av tests, Nod32 is going down....

Between Nod32 and Norton (2009) i choose Norton (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[BrainBUGG]

Umm . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) There is no comparision . . .NOD32 is far more better than Norton . . .

Norton is a resource hog. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/puke.gif) NOD32 doesn't take even a few mbs of RAM. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I would say these:

For paid:

1. Kaspersky
2. Bitdefender
3. NOD32

For Free:

1. Avast
2. Avira
3. AVG

BrainBUGG,

That's just your fanboyism of yours (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Norton 2009 is not a resource hog anymore (previous versions were heavy indeed). And Norton has much higher detection rate overall, let alone curing capabilities. Nod32 is a good resident programme with nice heuristics, but absolutely useless and helpless in curing infected files. I know that Nod32 is tremendously popular with young generation, which likes "light antiviruses"-invisible while playing online games, though they sacrifice quality in the name of "lightness" .

If one's machine is infected and OS is compromised Nod32 is the last in turn place to apply to cure an infected PC. Nod 32 is an ABSOLUTE NIL in curing compromised OSs. In order to maintain my statement look this completely trustworthy test on curing capabilities of various AVs. Kaspersky, Dr.Web, Avast, and, alas, Norton are the best ...
Please, DO NOT MISLEAD this forum readers- some of them come here for help and guidance. Your wrong information and fanboyism may be of great price in consequences for them. There are a huge number of more powerful paid AVs than Eset -eScan, F-Secure, F-Prot, famous GDATA, Microsoft OneCare-they all have HIGHER level of detection and -CURING of infested files.

To the list of free antiviruses Rising Free Antivirus should be added-it has proved to be a great AV tool.

No fanboyism-just a verified and correct information on Softpedia!

i have been in the "hacker scene" for quite awhile. norton does not detect any of the current "malware" nortons heuristics are comparable to that of a 3 year olds brain. i have many encryption tools that are used to encrypt malware, norton detects none of them, nod32 tags them all as malware, norton even allows programs encrypted with the tools to run.

and yes, norton still is a resource hog, ive seen the newer versions of endpoint protection make a computer fan overload because the scan was taking up so much of the processor.

as for avira, avria is the lightest of all the av's, and detects the "encryption tools and new malware" faster and better than any other AV, thats because avira is about 80% heurestics, malware coders constantly struggle to bypass avira, and plenty of them fail. even if they do bypass it, once that malware is in the wild it doesnt take long for avira to tag it.

drive sentry is a ridicules security solution, which basically is an tremendously over bloated version of windows UAC. ive used it before and it was a waste of time.


Drug, next time take your own advice, and dont mislead people, dont rely on biased tests by companies who get payed off by symantec to swing the test results to make their product look better, thats the only reason symantec makes money, because they advertise in magazines and stick their crappy products on new computers.

and a few more things for the rest of you, dont go with an AV based on reviews or shit like that, if you want to see how well an av tests in the field of battle, go on hacker forums and pay attention to the NVT scans that the coders do on their "public" malware, after a few days check back, someone always posts a new scan usually with heavy detection rates, pay attention to what av's consistently detect new malware.

and another rule of thumb, dont always rely on an AV to protect you, just because your av doesnt detect it doesnt mean its not harmfull, you could run a piece of malware that ur av doesnt detect, and you wouldnt even know because you think nothing of it.

just dont download shit from the internet, only get things from the official site, dont run warez on your main system, 90% of all warez is bound with a bot server or something like it, if u feel the need to be a pirate, run stuff in a virtual machine. also, turn on automatic updates!, so many people dont do this, and worms will scan your system and if your running some old crap like windows Xp sp2, you could get exploited... and for drive by downloads that are exploit packs iframed into hacked websites, only use ffox with noscript, IE is a piece of garbage and ive seen people browse the net for 5 mins on IE and get a drive by download install a fake antivirus on their system
