A little Security Review

As In the earlier post I stated how awful Bitdefender was so I thought hey mine as well do a little review so here goes:

Clamwin:

Free open-Source virus scanner I ditched it the first day didn’t seem to pick up anything compared to NOD32 and Mcafee also just sat in the System Tray taking up precious space :)

NOD32 Pro:

Ah, NOD32 the best one yet. This is one of the best Anti-Virus programs I’ve used scans ever file you open, worked on every test I gave It and took up no resources at all. Get this one..No Kidding

Avast Home Ed.:

Erghh this one was awful the scans took forever and the menu was unnavigable seem to not take up much resources though.

AVG Free Edition:

Great Anti-Virus product works great with Outlook but the scans are pretty lengthy and It lets you know over and over again if you have Residential protection disabled

Mcafee Anti-Virus 2006:

Alright virus scanner the On-Access scanner found some things that NOD32 didn’t one thing bad about this product it comes with a Security Center like the Windows Security Center but pops up every time with opaque pop-ups every-time it finds something or updates itself. Very annoying at least you know it’s working though.
