Re: AntiVirus Poll 2007
Voted "Other" using Active Virus Shield on my main machine. It's basically KAV free version from AOL, but available free to all. Should I have voted KAV for this?
Other machines on my network use AVG. |

I'm not surprised that AVG is leading in the poll. It's the Norton of the free AVs. By that I mean name recognition. What surprises me a little is how NOD32 jumped ahead of NAV and KAV, and that KAV is behind NAV. I thought KAV would certainly be ahead of NAV. Especially here at the security forum. I'm glad to see NOD32 do so well, because I think it's an excellent AV. I just thought KAV was more popular here. |

Re: AntiVirus Poll 2007
NOD32 and AVG free as a temp. Have a trial of NOD32 on 1 machine, 2 paid copies, and will probably get another for a laptop. The use of the trial version of NOD32 seems o be impressed with it. I've been looking at some "ratings" and it seems that NOD is panned sometimes because it doesn't have a "sexy" or pretty interface. That's no way to judge an AV.

KAV for me. I've been using it going on 4 1/2 years. Very good poll.

I use Norton AV Corp Edition
It has an old version 7.01 but the automatic virus updater still works fine. |

On my Vista laptop none, on my XP desktop none.
In all my years of using various AVs I've never gotten a virus or a warning from any of them so I've decided this year to go bareback. I also don't use any 3rd party firewalls, just the built-in Windows firewall configured for no exceptions.
I may be playing with fire but I do notice improved performance with no security products installed. |

| I recently tried NOD32, and really hoped I would like it since it seems to have good reviews. But it caused my machine to boot slowly. I couldn't figure out the problem, even with the help of the folks on the NOD32 forum. So I went back to AVG, which gets along well with my system. |

I voted Nod32 and None which is 100% accurate.
Btw, how many are aware of virusbtn.com ? The professional AV test lab in the UK. If interested in AV effectiveness register (free) for their VB100 page(s). That will read Virus Bulletin 100% Award on their site.
Normally I do not run AV software. If I suspect a problem I will d/l the nod32 DOS test version and scan machines. |

| Nod32 . Have been using it for about four years, and although there's now some serious competition, I haven't yet seen or heard nything that would cause me to switch to another AV.
Extremely happy with it.
