Hi guys,
I use NOD 32 with Zone Alarm.Is Kaspersky 6.0 better than my NOD32+ Zone Alarm combo.I have 512 MB memory so pls see the memory usage also.....

Thanks,

Kaspersky is gonna kill 512 MB, plus u run ZA as well. NOD is the least mem consuming antivir after AVG, and its pretty decent. I suggest u stick to the combo.

KAV is gr8 antivirus

but when i loaded i can feel the load it puts on CPU

so tried it for 1 month and later got bored

and now back to ZONE ALARM antivirus + firewall.This doesnt slow the PC at all

kaspersky never kills 512, i use it on 512 mb ram , blazing fast compared to norton.
I use kis-firewall+zonealarm pro ..a striking combination. best of da best55

@ashfame -: Here's my reply- Norton 2006 sysreq.

300MHz or higher processor
256 MB of RAM
150 MB of hard disk space

@ vyasram -: Try NOD 32 and then tell me which one is faster. with Kaspersky , it takes abt 1 min for everything to load, with NOD, it takes abt 15 secs. And NOD offers grt protection as well

deathvirus_me · 31-05-2006, 12:10 PM

NOD32 over KAV .... much lighter , fast .... and more than effective for me. ..

Darthvader · 31-05-2006, 12:37 PM

NP, buddy. I know KAV is better in detection rates, but NOD is sufficient. I just posted the sysreqs of NAV to show that those dont mean much...to get the real performance, u need almost double whats posted in sysreqs. If u run NAV with the posted sysreqs, its gonna lag like crazy; same holds true for KAV. Though its much lighter than NAV, but its nnot easy to run it on 512, specially when the real-time scanner is set to HIGH or THOROUGH
