I had some runs in with the: worms, virus, cloaked-malware, trojans you name it.
Tested: PrevX Home PrevX Business ThreatFire Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus PCT Tools Internet Security Comodo Internet Security Pro Free Avira Free Avira Preminum with Internet Security AVG Free AVAST Home AVAST Cleaner Sophe AV Cleaner VIPRE AV/SPY VIPRE Rescue A-Squared Free Spyware Terminator F-Secure Rookit Cleaner RAV 2009 Free RIS 2009 Free RFW 2009 Free Test on: cloaked-malware: linkinfo.dll, IsDrv118.sys others like: modifyPE.exe rookits like: i.CMD AVAST Home found the i.CMD but all it could do was quarantine it but it could keep it under wraps. AVG Free found the linkinfo.dll it couldn't clean it so all it could do was put it into the vault. But I found out later the files was still present on the system. RAV, RIS I didn't get to these them with the other major threat which was: autorun Worms which are found on USB Flash and USB HDD drives. These made my internal HDD from D to F unable to access the files or drive. Windows couldn't find RECYCLER 000000.com I use another program for that fix... None of the above could fix that issue. RAV 2009 Free found 57 viruses on test rig that's more than PrevX did which was 34 threats. It could only remove them for a price. RAV is free and it cleaned the files and I mean clean them not delete them. Now on files that were in zip form and couldn't be saved those where deem to be deleted. So now RIS which includes both RFW 2009 free and RAV 2009 free. These files are very hard to find on the internet. I found them and place them on a host site. There is even a better version of the free RAV there too. RFW is just the firewall only. There is another program call Rising PC Doctor in China it's called Kata Internet Security Aid (assistant) that's free also. What that does is trojan and spyware defector also can scan your system for it's needed patches for OS (client/server) as well as Office 2003/2007. Downloads/installs in one shot. It can prompt you or it will do it. The program also repairs the OS if it finds errors. Not bad for free. If you use the RIS it support PC Doctor. RIS 2009 free (chinese version with english support) http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5qjmrhjow4z RAV 2009 free (chinese version with english support) http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zdd2zzhzxjo RFW 2009 free (chinese version with english support) http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zizzjikmhyc The manual for these programs can be found on: http://support.rising-global.com/ |

Unfortunately there's no package that will catch everything 100%. The most important thing is that the program doesn't allow the virus to spread or cause harm.
Best thing I've found is user education. Informed users that don't go to questionable sites and know not to click on suspicious links are better then the best A/V. I see you didn't list Sophos. They have a great A/V package that works very well. For businesses, it has a lot more features too such as a firewall you can configure and Network Access Control. It will even remove most existing A/V programs when pushed from the server.

I run the Vista updates regularly. Also run Spybot and Ad-Aware from time to time. And I certainly never whimsically log on to questionable sites. I've never had a serious problem nor any indication of such. Common sense often prevails. |
