    This has also been my experience. WAY too many FP's.

    I am about to switch 300 computers at work from Symantec to NOD32.

    Can I ask what was reported as FP using Vipre? I have not had a single FP with it.

    Also, you note that, then you say you are switching from Symantec? So are you using Vipre or Symantec?

    I have tested almost all the AV's out there and finally I have come to a conclusion that I will use ESET smart security 4. Im not invoking any discussions here but just wanted to share my feelings. Your personal preference may vary but as I said, this is what I'll use from now. :)

    Yep I chose ESET after trying many Anti virus products. I also have Malware Bytes running alongwith it.

    Hi there
    any chance of translating this into some sort of Understandable English for a poor Scandanavian Non native English speaker.

    Thanks.

    Cheers

    Hi Dinesh

    How do you like Malwarebytes -- for its size and speed it is actually quite good - and you can run it in conjunction with MSE -- no probs at all --system overhead is about ZERO even with BOTH going.

    Don't forget to run update the Database before scanning. Doesn't take long.

    Whilst this is more Malware prevention than pure AV software I think you will find that by FAR the biggest source of infections are from Malware rather than "Classical Viruses".

    Incidentally none of the older established companies such as ESET, SYMANTEC, NOD32 etc etc still have a clue how to stop DRIVE BY infections -- these are really horrible to trap unless you switch off any scripting in your browser and check source code of sites -- but without scripting a lot of sites won't work --so we go round and round.

    I think BTW AVIRA is a German firm.

    Please also check ESET against DRIVE BY infections -- You'll be hugely disappointed as it probably won't give you "Preventative Protection" (I.e Protection BEFORE the fact) - like most other AV software.

    Malwarebytes and MSE will clean most of this stuff up (AFTER the fact -- "Reactive prevention") which is why you should run the quick scans quite frequently -- these work FAR BETTER than classical AV software since you are dealing with a totally different type of attack.

    You should run a scan if you've surfed a lot of web sites - particularly if you press the BACK button on your browser and it takes you to a different page.

    Cheers

    I like MBAM because of its high detection capabilities and minimal mem usage.

    Really?
    I just switched 6 home computer s from ESET to Symantec's Norton AntiVirus 2010 and my own to 360 V4 and I will NOT be going back.

    Turns out, another computer in the house had a trojan that ESET missed. I will be contacting ESET about this so they can hopefully make V5 better and not use more than 40MB of RAM when Norton 360 V4 is using 5.5MB and AntiVirus 2010 is using around 2MB.
