I can see from the screen shot on the web site as I use Kaspersky myself. Also, there was a discussion about this very product in the Kaspersky Labs forum only yesterday. 2. I think KAV (actually, I use KIS, which is KAV plus firewall) is really good but cannot compare it with NOD32 as I've never used that product. I can say that the support you get in the Kaspersky forum is really good, though and was part of the reason I went for KIS. -- Wilf

Are you using AOL? Both are good AV solutions. I would probably use a _free_ version of KAV _or_ NOD32, before I would pay for the other one, if you know what I mean. The AOL Active Virus Shield is a stripped down version of KAV 6. Same engine and definitions, but not the full customizability of KAV 6. And I am not sure that it contains all of the modules --- email AV, Web AV, PDM, etc. Ron :) |
