dn0 Posted September 19, 2005 CID Share Posted September 19, 2005 haha nice post about the virus' (porn ) and Kaspersky. I'm going to try it right now. I have Norton. I don't under(porn)stand what you mean? I just ran the Kaspersky free on-line scanner, and it found the last remnants of that virus. I have tried for 2 days to download a trial version of the full software, but their system never emailed the links or registration to me after I signed up. I'm guessing something is up on their end, I tried 2 different email addresses. And, cak46, I agree with you; now more than ever.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cak46 Posted September 20, 2005 CID Share Posted September 20, 2005 I bet if you were to install Kaspersky you would find more than a few surprises' Ran the on-line version. Only thing it found (till I killed it after about 45 minutes) was a virus file I sent in to Avast. It seemed to get confused and said there were 30 'objects' infected............... with 1 virus found. The only actual file listed was the one I had sent to Avast but I think it was referencing each email within the Sent 'file' for Netscape. Those are most likely bad false positives. I'm not saying Kaspersky isn't good, but rather depending on one program to do it all is not good. I've used many programs, at one time or another, to get rid of spyware, malware, viruses, etc. on other machines. The list includes Avast, avg, norton antivirus, mcafee, trojanhunter, ewido, A squared, Blacklight, F-bot, Hijackthis, Spybot, AdAware, and the Kaspersky online scanner, and others. If I suspect an infection, I use a number of programs to be sure its clean then reboot and scan again and then again with one or more of the programs until I'm satisfied whatever it was is gone. Customers don't like coming back with the same problem the next week (and I don't like seeing them back). Another problem I've found is that when I've already cleaned a machine once with one program and run a different program, the second program finds the renamed instances of the virus files in the 'quarantined' folder of the first program I ran (False positives)... And as a side note it's interesting that you are required to uninstall your current av software, not just disable it, so that kaspersky needs to be installed and run to clean your system. Why not allow cleaning from the on-line scanner with a warning to disable your current virus protection prior to the cleaning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsnet2k8 Posted September 20, 2005 CID Share Posted September 20, 2005 If you dont like kaspersky its alright!! not everyone uses KAV But those that don't need to open their eyes and realize that they are not as protected as they might believe they are' its those peoples computers and dollars possible in jeopardy due to poor virus protection' Kaspersky Is not the only program that its not compatible with other programs and ofcourse KAV requires you to uninstall your current program to have the KAV installed. I wouldn't want to have two virus programs running at the same time and if i klnow that theres something better out there i will uninstall my sucky AVG OR NAV and instal KAV.......... Im sure theres die hard sucky anti virus users that no matter what anyone says will continue to be at risk and not know about it. 2 Cents' i need change.

I used to think that exact same thing, but when i did the kaspersky online snanner and it found 23 threats that Nod32 did find, I have to say that for me Kaspersky is def the best.

Why not allow cleaning from the on-line scanner with a warning to disable your current virus protection prior to the cleaning? thats funny I have never had to do this when I had AVG or Norton. Also, I never said KAV was perfect just that it took care of and even found some viruses and threats that the others did not. Funny how surfin (porn) is a sure way to get a virus.
