Kaspersky Vs NOD 32

[samrulez]

Hi guys,
I use NOD 32 with Zone Alarm.Is Kaspersky 6.0 better than my NOD32+ Zone Alarm combo.I have 512 MB memory so pls see the memory usage also.....

Thanks,

Kaspersky is gonna kill 512 MB, plus u run ZA as well. NOD is the least mem consuming antivir after AVG, and its pretty decent. I suggest u stick to the combo.

KAV is gr8 antivirus

but when i loaded i can feel the load it puts on CPU

so tried it for 1 month and later got bored

and now back to ZONE ALARM antivirus + firewall.This doesnt slow the PC at all

kaspersky never kills 512, i use it on 512 mb ram , blazing fast compared to norton.
I use kis-firewall+zonealarm pro ..a striking combination. best of da best55

@ashfame -: Here's my reply- Norton 2006 sysreq.

• 300MHz or higher processor
• 256 MB of RAM
• 150 MB of hard disk space

@ vyasram -: Try NOD 32 and then tell me which one is faster. with Kaspersky , it takes abt 1 min for everything to load, with NOD, it takes abt 15 secs. And NOD offers grt protection as well

@ mystichalo
u was saying KAV is gonna kill 512.
may be i understand u wrong buddy
was u in favour of KAV.
Why u telling me the req. of NAV 2006.
i never say its bad with 512MB, its just good i u hav it on >512MB

 

[anandk]

continue to use nod32 with za..............

 

[deathvirus_me]

NOD32 over KAV .... much lighter , fast .... and more than effective for me. ..

Hell I use KAV in 128 mb but it runs smooth atleast compared with Norton .

NP, buddy. I know KAV is better in detection rates, but NOD is sufficient. I just posted the sysreqs of NAV to show that those dont mean much...to get the real performance, u need almost double whats posted in sysreqs. If u run NAV with the posted sysreqs, its gonna lag like crazy; same holds true for KAV. Though its much lighter than NAV, but its nnot easy to run it on 512, specially when the real-time scanner is set to HIGH or THOROUGH

kaspersky roxxx here dudes

 

[ashisharya]

nod32 protects system more than kaspersky. kaspersky eats up much sys res

 

[Darthvader]

Well No since KAV is set on thorough real time protection on my measly 256 mb ram with no hiccoughs

 

[go4saket]

For me, NOD32 doesnt even stand near KAV. I find KAV to be the best and with ZA, it simply rocks...

 

[samrulez]

Thanks for all the help I am now using KAV (the trial version) and will switch to my old combo later...
