NOD32 vs. Kaspersky: Which Is Better?

[ProtoMan 0]

I highly recommend Kaspersky (The latest version is 7 , right ?). It is one of the best Anti-Virus software in the market today. I am not really sure about NOD32 since I don't have much experiance with it.I have of course tried both of them in the past and the one I chose was Kaspersky, it has a really powerful protection that most other softwares can't beat.NOD32 is good, too, it doesn't take much CPU resource.If you are seriously annoyed by viruses/spywares then Kaspersky is your best friend. Otherwise, NOD32 will come in handy :rolleyes:This is just my personal opinion, anyway I hope it could help you.

i think that the best one its kaspersky it gives lots of protection and no virus traspasses the protection of kaspersky. Kaspersky it's a little bit cheaper but it gives much proteccion that nod32 so i think kaspersky is the best one

hello,As I see it, NOD32 is much much better than Kasp. for the following reasons:NOD32 has the following superiorities :1. It does not slow down the computer and still scanning all accessed files.2. It has a good HTTP trafic scanning.3. It has an excellent virus detection and handling(clean, delete, etc.).4. It has easy-to-use interface(user friendly).5. It has a very good thing and that is, It can scan for threats and viruses on the network if the PC. was among a local area network.Thats what I know and any correction and update for the above information is most welcomed.thanksTacho

Dumb Question, Definetly Kaspersky!

Looking at both kspy and nod32 I can say without reserve that on windowsServer 2003 NOD32 is far faster at scanning files than the current releaseOf KSPY.When I loaded kspy on my server I found it to be somewhat of a resource hog. In contrast NOD32 worked similar to CA in that it is light weight on resources.The detection rates on both KSPY and nod32 are very good,in essence theyDo what they were designed to do "detect virus and mailware" Getting back To the resource issue If you manage to get some trojan downloader on yourPC or mailware you will notice a slowdown in most cases of your OS.If you have a AV solution installed thats resource intensive and it doesNot have a signature for the Virus you have both the combination of theAV and the virus will be a huge tax on your system. Just something toConsider when choosing a AV solution.-IT Exec

For me Kaspersky Internet Security is better than NOD32. I've been using this anti-virus with internet security for months now. It really protects your PC in real time plus it blocks ads in consortium with Anti-Spy feature on Kaspersky Internet Security, wherein it leads to slow down you connection due to ads that is a heavy one wherein it's not important anyway.When it comes to memory consumption, kaspersky only uses a bit of the total memory. it doesnt used up a lot of system resources depending on the features that has been enabled.You maybe annoyed by its pop up confirmation but you may select default option to choose from, from its setting, but yet maximum security measures has been identified and implemented by Kaspersky.

which one is better? or other program use to kill virus please advice me.thanks you..

I would highly recommend NOD32. Though I haven't tried Karpersky, but nod32 suits all my needs, its efficient, fast, reliable, and updates its virus definitions daily. Couldn't be more happy!

Of couse, you have to be careful of what you do on the internet. I haven't had a virus problem for like 3 years, that's mostly because of my internet experience, but you have to keep an eye out for suspicious links like those on msn messenger to "check some photos", I don't fall for that but I think my NOD32 would keep me safe anyway.

There was a time a windows suddenly popped up (some casino stuff) and nod32 detected something and stopped it right there.. it asks you what to do, or if you prefer you can let nod32 take care of it and delete corrupted files w/o prompts, etc.

Replying to TachoOk wow bud Have you even used kasperskyTachoOk I'll show the comparison1.Kaspersky hogs around 8-12k of resources.NOD32 hogs around 20-23k of resources2.Kaspersky has THE MOST virus definitions of any AV out there3.On a scale of 1-10 ease of use kaspersky rates 8.5 while NOD32 rates a 84.If your good with kaspersky like me you can actually find where the virus comes from since it tracks IP of where worm/virus/trojan comes from 5.It deletion and disinfection uses INCINERATOR technology ( software specialized for deleting files and have the option of making the file unrecoverable)So I think kaspersky is a lot betterAnd really read some other forumsAnyone who is ACTUALLY good with computers prefer kaspersky For its ability to be customized for your own use NOD32 does not have the type of option for youWhere you can only use the default option it gives you so a lot of times its not as good -andrew

Replying to TachoAnd I have used NOD32 And I give its credit for being goodCompared to nortonBut when compared to good AVs like kaspersky its crap-andrew

Kaspersky is able to define and remove many new viruses, which are not visible for other antiviruses.But Kaspersky is a slowest and resource consuming antivirus. I was not happy with it!

NOD32 vs. Kaspersky: Which Is Better?

 

This is simple...

One thing everyone should realize is this whole argument changes through the year. Because every quarter one company does better than another. However, over the best 5 years (see link below)

Nod32 has been the most consistent of all the av's. Consistency is key in the antivirus business. That is why I go with NOD32. If another company Norton, for instance, since its 2008 software has cut resource allocation and has made there software half way appealing again. If you look at sunbelt change the only place there lagging is in (response time), which is a pretty big area. However, they will have to consistenly hold their ground for atleaste a year before I would consider switching to them. If notron raises their C in response to a B minimum and hold
