Great words of wisdom – and a pleasure to read your english.
I hope that there are others that are thankful of your efforts and also do
their homework.
What it comes down to, as always, is that it’s a matter of preference, not based on blatant bias, but on tested evaluation and personal needs. Your needs are different to mine in that you keep a clean ship and don’t want to be hampered by unnecessary dragging lines. My greatest need, or aim, is to enlighten the less fortunate. I am really quite tired of restoring fouled up hard drives from people who think that the installation of popular products from the likes on Computer Associates and Symantec will magically, somehow, give them the ultimate protection. When I have rebuilt and sent them away with the same setup, they are back within a few weeks and blaming me for
their troubles. For the best part of a year now they have been getting a Kaspersky setup and I haven’t thus far (touch wood) had any returns. While there is no doubt that NOD and OutPost are of the highest quality, either are “””simply””” not for these particular people. Being able to resize and set window positions to stay where I want them, permanently, has made this job of mine much easier as well. Pokey little windows are such a DRAG. I have already mentioned that for me KAVs archive handling is the most favourable. There is a story I could tell you about a 260 MB zip that was full of other various and deeply imbedded archives where NOD fell down in quite a ridiculous manner, but it’s only a rare nit picking thing, so I will refrain. Currently, I am running a number of computers with, Panda Pl, NOD, KAVstd, KAVpro, Avast, and until recently, PC-cillin and McAfee. Others get looked at from time to time. KAV and Panda would be the most “straight forward” of these, but the latter is just a huge so-so bloatlication.
For those who don’t fully understand what Salmonela is talking about, you should lean towards KAV. Otherwise you have a tough decision, depending on your bias, of course.
Has anybody got any ink?????
