AntiVir
-
Does anyone else use this Anti Virus program? - I have been using it for about 2 years, and have always wondered about it, as it is so unobtrusive. - Other AV apps are normally obtrusive to me, but I guess a lot of users like the percieved value of the AV app working.

Something else to run on my test box :) I do not mind getting old. It beats all the other options that can think of.

I has been working very well, although it didn't have much to do on my machine – it identified the occasional dialers and worms in e-mails when I decide, once in a while, to have a closer look at the attachments, and it once even found a real virus on a floppy from my DOS days. My family and most of my friends also use it, and haven't complained so far.

I've enjoyed using Computer Associates' Ez-Trust product for many years. It's effective, and it doesn't pop up any obnoxious windows when it finds something ugly in my email. It just quietly deletes the problem child. It also updates itself every 8 hours without telling me about it, a feature I enjoy very much. I like tools that do their jobs without my having to manage them directly. They make my life much more simple...

I've never used an anti-virus program. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

i have it in my windows partition at home, and it seems to work. the only time i ever surf the net in windows is when i want to update antivir and windows... and then once or twice it has stopped a few viruses, trojans and worms in their tracks, before they even got to me. i loaded it on a friends computer the other day, and it picked up a whole bunch of viruses and stuff - but then he had never used and antivirus app before... i've found it works pretty well. it repairs what it can and deletes the rest, after prompting. i once used norton, and not even a month later got rid of it. it didn't work. that's when i found antivir, and i've been quite happy ever since. -- Raoul Snyman Saturn Laboratories e-mail: raoul.snyman@saturnlaboratories.co.za web: http://www.saturnlaboratories.co.za/ blog: http://blog.saturnlaboratories.co.za/ linux user: #333298
