Norton Internet Security Vs. Sygate+avg

[brucelee21]

I've been using norton internet secur2003 for awhile and have had no problems with it...even when my cpu gets attacked with a trojan or somethin, most of the time I can trace that person and get all his info, including his ip add. Not that I know what to do wit that stuff....But recently my subscrip ran out so I got NortonIS04 off BT and it totally slowed down my system. So I got Sygate f/w5.5pro and Avg trial vers. How do these stack up to NIS03? does sygate prevent pop ups like NIS03? and does it alert me of attackers? does AVG have a live update like NAV?
and this might be a little off topic but should I block or allow these apps:
-NT kernel & system
-generic hosts services for win32 services.
i don't know what they do as I didnt encounter them with nis03.

don't forget a decent anti trojan :)

Don't forget that for NOD32 you must have a user/pass for every update.And if you want to use a crack , is imposibile at least you want to use that trojan crack released by ( i don't remember ). :lol:

if you leave the user/pass blank, you can get free updates for 30 days

then if you happen to accidently uninstall nod32, run a reg cleaner and reinstall you can get another 30 days free

and so on and so forth :)

You right, but is a great pain in ass, i stick with free AVG.

[TheFilePirater]

im running SAV and AVG, i dont have a need for firewal cuz my router

Whatever you do... don&#39;t use norton internet security 2004. Tons of people are having trouble wth it and Symantec doesn&#39;t know what&#39;s wrong ..... suuuuuure.

It slows down every system I&#39;ve seen it on.

Hmmm... come to think of it... I haven&#39;t beeen using
Norton for a while now. It was good.. for a while, but I;ve found better. I like AVG Anti-virus, and I use NAT, Router, VPN instead of a firewall.

AVG Homepage (http://www.grisoft.com)

AVG is waaaay more reliable than Norton, especially when updating. It&#39;s integrated instead of using a seperate program (like Live Update). Not to mention, if you are gonna pay for it ;) , the license is two years instead of one. That would be AVG 7.0. AVG 6.0 free edition was great, but 7.0 is soooo much better.

Oh, yeah, as for blocking

-NT kernel & system
-generic hosts services for win32 services.

... I suggest you don&#39;t if you want to actually use your computer.

i have the ntoskrnl.exe blocked w/ no problems
(blocked from access to my ethernet card)
read about a security risk somewhere, so i blocked it

generic host processes is needed to use the web :)

[brucelee21]

well after installing NIS04, I understand why its good....good for me to poop on&#33;&#33; Sygate is good by it slows my internet surfing, and sometimes i&#39;ll get a "cannot find server" page, and it doesnt stop popups. AVG is annoying cause it always at the startup it always asks for activation and that the email scanner isn&#39;t set up. I liked NIS03...is there anyway I could run that?

[asmithz]

Sygate (firewall) and Kaspersky (antivirus) is the best sucurity.

i was just reading on a trojan forum and all those pl were recommending kaspersky but why ? is it that good ?

[asmithz]

Most antivirus&#39;s work beyoung what norton and mcafee can do. Its just better and detects virus and trojans better. A friend of mine had 4 virus&#39;s that norton didn&#39;t even notice, and Kaspersky did. :P

[sharedholder]

Kapersky is very good because is maded on Rusia ( i think ).

[asmithz]

Edit, nvm

[sharedholder]

No is russian , even the name says &#39;&#39; KAPERSKY&#39;&#39; ( Dovstoievscki) :lol:

Heres the info on it.

@Shared, i believe you. :P


Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Personal Pro was specially developed for advanced users seeking the most up-to-date anti-virus technologies. Kaspersky Labs implemented its most advanced technologies in this software product. Pro provides full-scale anti-virus protection for home computers running Windows 95/98/ME, Windows 2000/NT/XP operating systems and Outlook, Outlook Express messaging programs. The software is powered by the most advanced technologies such as a behavior blocker and integrity checker which do not require anti-virus databases updating.

Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Personal Pro is a unique set of anti-virus and security components, some of which were previously available only for corporate clients. Now all these anti-virus tools, offering a comprehensive level of security, are available for home use. A control center unites the components that allow users to defeat the vast majority of system threats. Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Personal Pro comes with, free of charge, one year of anti-virus upgrades and 24 hour technical support.

NEW FEATURES&#33;
The optimized architecture of Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Scanner and Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Monitor releases additional RAM allowing user applications to accelerate their performance.

&nbsp; &nbsp; * Intuitive interface
&nbsp; &nbsp; * Improved setup utility allows you to keep user settings in Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Control Center and/or Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Updater running on your computer.
&nbsp; &nbsp; * Improved Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Scanner command line.
&nbsp; &nbsp; * Monitor - background virus-interceptor for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP/ME operating systems.
&nbsp; &nbsp; * Features insuring retention of recoverable data with the programs preset to delete infected objects.
&nbsp; &nbsp; * Ability to delete malicious code after the operating system attempts to run it.
&nbsp; &nbsp; * Checks for viruses in the memory of running programs.
&nbsp; &nbsp; * Updating of program modules.
&nbsp; &nbsp; * Quarantine, an easy-to-use tool that isolates infected files that can be later restored. In combination with the removal of infected objects this tool provides full-scale protection against viruses while ensuring the retention of recoverable data.
&nbsp; &nbsp; * Automatically restores the file system with the rescue disk set.
&nbsp; &nbsp; * Removes viruses from ZIP archives

100% protection from macro-viruses
Office Guard integrated into Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Personal Pro constantly controls macros executed on your computer, and prohibits any suspicious action. The unique technology of the behavior blocker underlying Office Guard guarantees 100% protection from destructive macro-virus action, leaving no chance for any malicious macros to damage your computer.

Reliably controlling data integrity
The integrity checker, Inspector integrated into Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Personal Pro traces content modifications on your computer. If Inspector detects a virus attack (unauthorized changes in files or system registry), it will enable the complete disinfecting and recovery of your disk. Inspector does not require anti-virus database updates, since it checks the integrity by developing the hard disk files&#39; CRC database and later, when started again, checking files for CRC modifications against the database. Unlike other integrity checkers, our Inspector supports all of the most commonly used executable file formats. This increases productivity five-fold while maintaining a high level of protection and reliability.

Reliable control over all sources of virus propagation
Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Personal Pro consistently controls all possible "doors" that can be used by viruses attempting to "worm" into your computer via e-mail, the Internet, diskettes, CDs etc. The program does not allow viruses to reside in any location on the computer, including system memory, boot sectors, files, and mail databases. The combined use of these tools allows you to prevent a successful virus attack on your computer.

Efficient real-time anti-virus protection
The unique background running virus-interceptor, Monitor for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP/ME, permanently resides in your computer&#39;s memory, checking for viruses in files while they are started, created or copied. Unlike other interceptors, Monitor integrates itself into the deepest level of your operating system. It allows the program to comprehensively control all the file operations and prevent attacks of even the most technologically advanced viruses. Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Monitor performs the check for viruses in the memory of running programs right after it is loaded, and also every time you update your anti-virus databases. If the infected memory of a program cannot be disinfected, this program is forced to abort. When running under Windows NT/2000/XP the Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Monitor program operates as a system service. The improved interception of system calls to the infected files increases the stability of the operating system.

Permanent e-mail anti-virus filtration
Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Personal Pro automatically checks for viruses in all incoming and outgoing messages in real time, and will prevent viruses from penetrating your computer. Supporting many e-mail database formats (MS Outlook, MS Outlook Express, MS Exchange, Eudora, MS Mail, Pegasus Mail, Netscape Mail, JSMail, MIME), the program is effective against viruses in e-mail-message storage areas. In addition to this, the built-in Mail Checker efficiently removes viruses from e-mail messages in MS Outlook, MS Exchange Client, and completely restores the original contents of your messages.

Comprehensive control over e-mail messages
Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Personal Pro does not allow a virus to hide in any of the message components. The program automatically checks for viruses in all areas of incoming and outgoing messages, i.e. attached files (including archived and compressed files), other messages of any nesting level, embedded OLE objects and the message body.

Protecting data storage locations
Disinfects MS Outlook Express mail databases and objects launched at operating system start-up. The anti-virus Scanner provides a comprehensive check of all local and network drive contents on-demand. You may start your scanner manually or schedule its start with Control Center. Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Scanner now allows not only detection but also removal of computer viruses from MS Outlook Express mail databases. If you preset the program to delete infected objects and then a virus is detected in an OS-started object, the program deletes the object and the object-starting code.

Unique system intercepting script viruses
Conventional anti-virus monitors are unable to protect your system from the destructive activity of script-viruses operating in your computer&#39;s RAM. Script Checker is the universal script-virus interceptor that completely solves this problem by integrating itself as a filter in-between the script-virus and the application that handles it. This enables you to check for viruses in any script before it is executed.

Protection from even unknown viruses
Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Personal Pro is powered by a unique integrated technology for unknown virus searching, based on the principals of second-generation heuristic analysis. Because of this, the program is able to protect you from even unknown viruses. The highest effectiveness of Kaspersky® Anti-Virus is proved by the fact that it was the only anti-virus in the world that repelled attacks of all "ILOVEYOU" virus variations without any additional anti-virus database updates.

Supporting archived and compressed files
Viruses often lurk inside files that have been compressed using special archiving utilities, rendering them invisible to many anti-virus programs. However, this is not true with Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Personal Pro&#33; Our program supports the majority of archived and compressed file formats, and automatically checks for viruses in their contents. Even if the virus has been compressed or archived multiple times using various archiving utilities, Kaspersky® Anti-Virus detects it, deletes the virus and restores the file to its working state. The program also removes viruses from ZIP archives.

Completely automated computer anti-virus protection
Does it annoy you to download anti-virus databases every day? Sometimes you simply forget to start your anti-virus monitor and scan your disks for viruses. In our busy lives, it is often hard to remember everything. Use the Control Center integrated in Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Personal Pro&#33; It enables you to create a flexible schedule for the program components to be started and to automatically download and apply updates to your anti-virus databases via the Internet. The Control Center also enables e-mail notifications regarding detected virus attacks and controls the rights of users by allowing/prohibiting them from changing your anti-virus settings.

Daily anti-virus database and package components updates via the Internet
New viruses appear every day. The more frequently you update your anti-virus, the more reliable protection you have. We provide you with free* daily updates to your Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Personal Pro anti-virus databases&#33; Using the built-in Updater module, you can easily download the updates automatically or just by one button-click from the Kaspersky Lab Web site. The size of our daily updates is just between 3 and 20Kb&#33; Now Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Updater allows you to update not only anti-virus databases but also software package components.

Universal boot system
This product includes the Rescue Kit feature, a unique rescue system that allows you to restore your PC in case it has been seriously damaged from a virus attack and has lost the ability to boot-up. Rescue Kit creates a set of start-up diskettes based on the Linux kernel that contain a preinstalled copy of Kaspersky® Anti-Virus for Linux. This set-up enables a "clean boot," and helps users restore disks running under any of the most popular file systems: FAT (DOS), FAT32 (Windows 95/98), NTFS (Windows NT/2000), HPFS (OS/2), EXT (Linux). Now the check and recovery of your computer file system is started automatically right after you inserted the first rescue disk from the fallback-recovery set.

Program Optimization
iChecker technology is used to dramatically increase efficiency by enabling Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Personal to check only those files that have undergone changes. Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal creates a special database of all checked files. Upon system restart a comparison is performed with the files in the database, if no changes have occurred no further checking is required. The amount of time needed to check for file alterations is significantly less than what is required to perform anti-virus scans.

User-friendly
Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Personal Pro has a friendly and easy-to-use user interface featuring the unique Tree Chart™ technology. It utilizes the step-by-step method, offering recommendations for the next step. Main functions of the program (scanning, updating, and downloading of separate modules) can be activated by the touch of one key, or completely automated.

Round-the-clock technical support
At any time of the day or night, the best Kaspersky Lab anti-virus experts are ready to answer your questions and provide you with FREE* technical information by either phone or e-mail.
