They are actually real world tests from professionals not just opinions from keyboard warriors like yourself
Your jokes sure are funny!!
Not sure, email did not have an end date and I can't take this offer now as I don't have money and I am still on a 1 Month trial.
I mainly favour NOD32 for its frugal use of resources and unintrusiveness. It also has a fairly low false-positive rate. In terms of detection rates Kaspersky is the consumer-grade king but it's as bloated and annoying as Norton, the only difference being that it actually works.
I never see a pop-up or prompt from NOD32. Everything that I want blocked is blocked and quarantined automatically. Anything NOD32 doesn't know what to do with, I've set to just quarantine, just in case. All I do is the check the logs once in a while to see if anything weird's been going on. There are no memory leaks, or bizarre, inexplicable CPU usage spikes and delays when connecting removable media or using RDP or anything you find with things like Comodo, Kaspersky, Norton et. al. which cripple the user experience.
Using a lightweight, hands-off AV like NOD32 develops a good habit of you becoming the proactive part of your internet security suite and watching what YOU do online rather than relying on an imperfect application to follow a set of definitions that are useless against zero day vulnerabilities; since 90% of attacks vector themselves from self-executing code that needs to be locally run and 100% of web activity is of your own volition really (unless you're blind to the botnet controlling your own machine in front of your eyes), all the AV suites in the world will not safeguard a computer illiterate with no common sense privacy/security routines.
AV should be just one layer of many security safeguards; not the first and last line of defense, which is what many people think of AV as, and which is wrong.
Best A/V there is :)
Actually pay for it now, does it work for renewals ?
