My norton security is just about to expire in a couple of days. I've been looking at both McAfee and Kaspersky and I'm not sure which one to go with. I've read that Kaspersky really uses alot of RAM, any suggestions?

QUOTE(abhiram @ Oct 15 2005, 05:47 PM) Kaspersky as an anti-virus is excellent. It's detection methods are much superior to Norton. Norton's database uses an exact copy of the viruses to cross check against with the files on your computer whereas kaspersky uses a method which looks for characteristic parts in the code which can be used to identify a virus. But Kaspersky's real-time protection is very memory-hogging. I've tried it and it eats away your RAM like crazy. Norton is pretty good for everyday use, but on my comp with 256 MB RAM, I had to chuck it in favour of PC-Cillin which though is not as good as Norton, it uses less memory and it gets the job done. Why don't you try out one of the free anti-viruses available like AVG or something? Try googling and see if you can find any. I've never tried any of them, but if they do their job well, you can save some money. Hi, I always found myself in a trouble regarding the decision to choose from different anti-virus softwares available. Can anyone clear my doubts as i have no knowledge about these What are the criterions to be considered before using any anti-virus software? How to distinguish between good and excellent anti-virus? Thanks |

I have just recently changed over to Kaspersky and I now think that is much better then Norton. Kaspersky's memory usage is a little on the high side, but no where near as much as Norton had on my computer.
The other thing I like is that Kaspersky's subscription charges are less then Norton, only by a little, but it all counts! Overall, i believe that it is a good solution and their support is great! |
