Avast is good - though it did let slip a webscript the other day - I got rid of it though it's ok.

Kaspersky I find EXCELLENT (event better than Avast) - and I get it for £8 OEM here at work

I thought Avast is the good old free antivirus for your everyman needs and Kaspersky is the invincible pillar that could satisfy even the most paranoid user...

... or is that my simplistic view of the antivirus scene?

Avast is what I use on both of my home pc's, great app for sure

Yup that sounds about right

Software like that is one of the few bits of software I don't mind paying for. O/Ses, Important utils, are things I'm happy to buy and spend a bit of money on. I knew a developer who worked at Kaspersky - MDaemon (the mail server we use) uses it's engine as a virus defense - touch wood, we've never had a virus outbreak on our mail system in 5 years. It's good enough for me.

.... and that's why I went with Avast! I'm also using MDaemon and I figured that I'd rather have something different on this PC so if a virus managed to get through MDaemon on the server then I'm using a different app on the main box which may catch it. Seems little point in duplication.

I used to use Symantec AV 8.1 many moons ago, but then a system instability and a trendmicro scan later revealed it had missed 4 different virii.

I use NOD on my desktop and Avast on my laptop. I have to say I really like Avast.

Will · 02-06-2007, 12:09

It's a fair point, but I like how the engine is integrated within the mail server, makes it a little less clunky IMO.

Since those servers are dedicated mails servers nothing else on it happens bar mdaemon - we do have symantec corporate on our servers, so it does get scanned for non mail applications, but the kaspersky mdaemon module is so good I really trust it.

Was this one a Teamspeak caused BSOD?

Good thing I left my workstation on in the office

Teamspeak wouldn't have anything in kernel space so it shouldn't be, lets lookie:

Code:

SYMBOL_STACK_INDEX:  4

SYMBOL_NAME:  nt!MiCheckVirtualAddress+152

FOLLOWUP_NAME:  MachineOwner

MODULE_NAME: nt

DEBUG_FLR_IMAGE_TIMESTAMP:  4549b6c6

IMAGE_NAME:  memory_corruption

FAILURE_BUCKET_ID:  X64_0x1E_nt!MiCheckVirtualAddress+152

BUCKET_ID:  X64_0x1E_nt!MiCheckVirtualAddress+152

Followup: MachineOwner

Not a lot I can tell you with that Feek, it usually indicates system instability. Was the box busy and/or warm?

[edit]Should say that the actual exe which caused the exception was:

Code:

PROCESS_NAME:  LastFM.exe

But it's probably a red herring given the module at fault.

Feek · 04-06-2007, 13:00

Not sure it was warm, but it certainly was busy. I was gaming, talking on TS with Firefox open and a few Excel windows.

I went to bed.
