but what have you done to hide dfind for norton

On VS2005, had nothing to do to trick it, but I went back yesterday to VC6 to use the old MFC to have a smaller and stable 32-bit binary and it was again detected by symantec, I have sorted out the detected signature:

it was detecting one of the word "VULNERABILITY..:", have replaced all occurences by "VULN...........:", and Symantec does no more detects it, to show you how bad is symantec, they are detecting a lot of stuffs, but it's based on noobie's signatures ....

I actually prefer F-secure for some reason - it uses the same dbs as kaspersky so detection is just as good

I think Kaspersky is the best atm but sophos is a good AV too...Maybe Kaspersky needs more resorces of ram and cpu (never installed Sophos).
Norton isn't an antivirus...he doesn't find anything...blah!

None of em above... all to easy to avoid detection.

nod32 is nais ok... but best scanner today is G-Data Anti_Viren_Kit_2006 it has a very good heuristic-search plus kaspersyk plus bitdefender engine in one machine. ... thats really hard to fool

ClamAV

I was used to host Symantec on my machine for my past experiences. Infact I had Kaspersky AV on computers in a LAN and got the Netsky wirus spreading all over the LAN, making fun of the Kaspersky AV. When I installed Norton, it did recognize and block the virus.

Nowadays I heard situation is pretty different. Symantec is easy to fool indeed and infact I tried ClamAV which is not good according to me for Windows product. It doesn't recognize so many hostile files. F-Secure is the best choice for quality/price and it does share its db with Kaspersky guys.

NOD32 I heard is good enough especially for home users.

@class101:

You forgot to mention the Trend Micro Officescan which is a very good AV according to me.

Quote:

theres another reason why Ive voted for kapersky and not for the others. Kapersky run his agent as system and the service cannot be stopped with a simple net stop. It's the only AV in this list which do this.

He's right! Trend Micro Officescan can be stopped with Net Stop.
Symantec Norton can be stopped with Net Stop.

I tested these once only

My 2 cents

Yog
ClamAV can bill stopped with Net Stop.
