Just thought I'd tell you guys about the new Kaspersky Antivirus.

It will clean inside infected zip or rar files without deleting the whole
archive. WOW!!!

Also, I got infected with the latest Coolwebsearch Adware thing. I tried
CWShredder and about five other adware/spyware cleaners, including Spy
Sweeper, Ad-Aware SE and Pest Patrol Corporate Edition and none of them
could get rid of it completely. Kaspersky got rid of it straight away -
and it isn't even a virus. WOW AGAIN!!!

I hope this post helps somebody.

All the best,

Frank.

I'm running KAV Personal 5.0.139 personal trial on Windows 98 with full
patches. It's really quite buggy on my system. The resident shield
(set to maximum) doesn't detect eicar.zip on downloading. The on-demand
scanner locks up the whole system unless I run from Safe Mode. I might
use MSconfig to find out what's conflicting but it's almost too much
hassle. AOL sometimes causes trouble, and I disabled that, but I refuse
to disable firewall and some other programs. All other on-demand
scanners work fine except TDS-3 lags a bit. (TDS-3 works a lot better
on NT systems IMO.)

I'll try KAV on Win 2000 and 2003.

OK Michael, I am running XP Pro Corp SP2 and I works fine on this OS.

All the best,

Frank.

I also found kav 5 trial unworkable on my 98se.It just brings it to a
standstill.

I downloaded the trial and ran it on a P4 2.8 gig machine with Windows
XP and it really seemed to slow program boot times and my web surfing
down. I did a system restore to a pre-installation check point and my
speed is back up.

I can see why people use it as an on demand scanner only. I'm
thinking about that, but I already subscribe to NOD32 and don't want
to be paying for two annual subscriptions.

That's what I use it for. On Demand only. Even on a 2.4Ghz HT P4
with a gig of ram, and 240 gig HD space, it slows down to a crawl.
I use Nod32 as my resident scanner, and KAV on demand.
 
Yes, I agree. Nod32 for resident and Kaspersky for manual seem to be the
best option so far.

Kaspersky is good however I don't like the way it uses ADS to monitor
files. It is annoying as it can't be disabled. I have been in contact
with Kaspersky UK and Personal Pro 5, which will be released in
October, will have options to control how it uses ADS however it will
not be removed and you will not be able to disable it totally.

I will wait and give Personal Pro 5 a try when it comes out however I
am not holding my breath about how good it will be.
