Kaspersky 2014 & Eset AV 7 review - Clear winner!

[TechPJC]

ESET coupled w/ MBAM Pro is a damn good solution.

Yeap...ESET Nod32 needs a little help by MBAM Pro or Webroot SecureAnywhere AV...

I had a client this week that had ESET installed. A virus had circumvented it from doing updates and it had detected nothing.

It is not the 1st time and it will not be the last one...
ESET needs to be paired with MBAM.

6 years of using and selling Kaspersky, and its been great for me. I've never been infected using it, and not one customer of mine that is using it has ever been infected. I do not see a bigger than normal performance hit, even on my old xp boxes if they have 2 gigs or more of ram. I only use the internet security version as well. I keep hearing about performance issues on forums, but I've installed it on 100's of computers with no issues yet.

I always mean to ask for clarification when I hear this from anyone using any product. When someone says never been infected does that mean they are getting messages saying the product has blocked, quarantined, or deleted threats or do they mean they haven't seen any messages and the PC "seems" fine so the product must be doing its job and blocking threats before they come in.

If your not getting warnings that the product has done something to stop something then that usually means one of two things, your infected with something and don't know it, or your just lucking and haven't come in contact with a threat

I still swear by Kaspersky as well for the best paid anti-virus solution.

I don't still have the log file, but back when I had Netflix, Kaspersky picked up on malware coming in through the Netflix stream. I contacted Netflix and they said it was impossible, their server was incredibly secure, until I sent them the log file with the proof. I have no idea how it got there, but it was only that one film out of perhaps thousands I'd viewed on Netflix over the years.

Update: found the log file, the sample was named Virus.DOS.Topa.2520, and it included the ip address of the Netflix server where the wmv files (Netflix streaming used wmv files then) were located. I'm not sure if they still use the wmv format or not.

Sigh....A log file doesn't prove anything....

I've had the impression that much of Malware Analysis & Removal
was, is, and will be based on Log files...
