Shockingly no one or i shd very few of digitians voted for avira... !
Exactly - the irony is Avira is not included in the list for the opinion poll here in esp when its been tested as the best of 2008. Only goes to prove how much people are tech savvy.
I really want to try Avira, unfortunately i can only use Tm & KS for now - ive been urging my friends to try Avira - but its only time i move to Avira after removing KS from my laptop.
I am posting a link here to a site where from you can download hundreds of keygens ( be ware most or all of them are infected - i am equally warning people not to download the keygens if you do not have a good antivirus, and even if you do, never to use them - you are best advised to download them at your own risk and use your discretion. YOu can download the keygens here at *kerleo.ik8.com/cracks1.htm
I have tried testing my TM antivirus by downloading the keygens to only find my trend micro is too good for it - i was simply unable to find a single keygens, that passed a virus free or spyware free test by trend micro - Tm Zaps every single keygens. A point to note is here the keygens are generally in compressed format like .rar or .zip so some antivirus programs may not be able to look into the compressed format ( not until you tweek the antivirus setings for example Tm can look deep into 3 levels of compressed format )
People are also advised to scan the files with the online scanners such as *virusscan.jotti.org/
*www.virustotal.com/
*virscan.org/
As most you should know that no single antivirus is the best and that it may not be able to detect all the viruses !!
The idea behind this exercise is that i want those who are using Kaspersky Avira and other leading programs to try and download the keygens ( at ur own risk ) and try to see if your antivirus is able to detect them( both is compressed format and after extracting it ) and then scan the files online with the above sites and check for your self and assess the effectiveness of antivirus your using.
I have done this using trend micro and have compared the results with the online scanners too - TM finds literally all the keygens on that site as infected and i have cross checked with all the 3 online scanning sites - i was shocked with the results that some of the best know antivirus program does not detect the viruses, while Tm all most always does !!
So every one try the home test / exercise for your self and post the results here. Also let us know if the antivirus is able to zap the files on view ( on view scanning ), for Tm does just that.
Never Run the keygens on your computer ever !!
