I m using AOL Active Virus Shield for two months now..and the performance is really good...I m going to stick with it for a long time now..and its totally free for the time being..

 

[shyamno]

AOL have the three features..AV,Anti-Spyware and Firewall..I have read in some blog that it causes conflict and doesn't install on the system having ZA ..

Can the inbuilt firewall of AVS be trusted..

Also heard that it takes a hell lot of time in saving a log file and that too of size around 30MB...I don't know..those who are using AVS please tell how is the firewall and does it cause any conflict with ZA and how much time it takes a log file to save..

No..AOL AVS doesnt contain any Firewall...and I m using it along Zone Alarm Pro 7.So there is no conflict...Its a Far better antivirus than NOD32.

I feel NOD32 is light weight and is not a resource hogger like other AVs and has got almost all features

The link is for Aol security center(i think it is powered by Macfee) ,and you are correct it do contains Firewall.

But the av i am using is Aol AVS (powered by kav6),have no firewall.

Anybdy having problems with Kaspersky Internet Security x.x.x.614 ... I mean it works fine but when the firewall in the AntiHacker category is turned on I experience much slower download speeds even if I give unrestricted access to the downloading programs...

Hey Quick Heal AntiVirus 2007 was not tested if it will be tested then it will be the winner not G Data Security.

 

[piyush gupta]

^^feels like Quick heal is not eligible for testing

try this :
set your web anti-virus to streaming mode (settings>web av>custumize)
else / also
go to settings>anti-hacker>settings>zones and uncheck stealth mode overall, then go to the others tab and select maximum speed

I dont think AVS was given a seperate ranking..its powered By Kaspersky and Kaspersky is a tested and verified Amtivirus..
However AVS is just an AntiVirus...no firewall..AOL active security or ZA can be used with AVS..

Our own Indian Quick Heal seems to be a flop show. No one is using that AV nowadays.
