disappointing
after a bit of an incident involving eset nod32 missing a detection of a trojan, i ended up switching to avira antivir. the memory footprint is actually ~1/3 of nod’s (and nod is one of the best in terms of memory usage) and its scanner is much faster. unfortunately, some aspects of the app aren’t as graceful or polished as nod. there isn’t any real way to disable components of the app such as the web protect virus scanner or email scanner since neither serve any real purpose for me.
also, i’ve given up on using spybot search and destory. it went from an awful spyware scanner to a great one and now the developers seem to have settled on making a “wunderprodukt” that does too much and doesn’t serve its main purpose well enough. in that area, i’ve switched to superantispyware. its scanner takes FOREVER, but its detection engine seems to be more realistic and while it doesn’t have any sort of proactive protection in the free version, it also won’t flood my hosts file with shit.
