    You do have to know a bit about what things do alright, and it does tend to seal downloaded programs off a bit tighter than you might want. I know it gave me a lot of trouble with the management software for my network drive... decided that it was accessing to deep and shouldnt be allowed.

    You do sometimes have to tell it what you want to do, and that it's okay to do it. The danger is, getting into to much of a habit of doing this. I have found though that, on the whole it is pretty good at categorising programs and using firewall rules to control them.

    The firewall is pretty bloody good.

    Yup I love Kaspersky. I really like the fact that you have a simple choice during the install, let it handle things itself silently or always prompt you. For my Wife's system I set it to silent, never a bother and she doesn't get any popups. For mine I set it to prompt and the level of granularity of control you have, even down to the Antispam fearures, is superb. Those warnings aren't so much false positives though as simply behaviour notices, the HIPS module is there to warn you of anything that isn't in your Trusted list attempting to access core resources not just those it truly believes are malevolent.
    The only thing I wish they'd add to it is a granular pause selection, rather than disabling the whole thing while I game (I have a hardware firewall) I'd prefer to be able to quickly just pause HIPS - you can do it if you go into the console itself but it was a convenient shortcut feature I liked in ESET32.

    Google Translate (or any attempt at artificial translation) is a pile of pants actually, but if you insist ... It's way too long to scan and OCR the lot, so I've only done the section for Norton Antivirus 2009, and the conclusions (Fazit). Viel Glück !!

    Like Avast, prefer it over AVG and AntiVir. Tried Comodo as a firewall and it never seemed to remember my trusted programs. Using Online Armor now and I like it, scores highly too.

    Have MalwareAntiBytes and SUPERAntispyware. Might try Spyware Blaster for real time detection and the other 2 as back up for scanning.

    norton was very good about 4 years ago, i had norton corp 10, on all my pcs and never had a problem with it

    since then i have made a career out of removing it of pcs, its like a free upgrade to your pc

    but now this norton 2009 is out and its dirt cheap, and must be the fastest antivirus out there,

    its €27 and you can put it on 3 computers
    the daily scan only scans new or changed files
    the updates are tiny i seen some that were 2kb, it checks every 15mins and take about 1 sec to download and apply them

    so i think the whole remove norton and install avg to fix all problems day is coming to an end


    ....but why would you use it over a free antivirus

    i think norton should at least give the first years subscription free to try and get customers back that the peeved off for 4 years

    AVG is going backwards, they have their own Norton esque removal tool and all now. Now would be a good time to buy shares in Kaspersky is they are available. The future trend will be removing AVG for Kaspersky, and free Anti Virus programs are coming to an end.
