Kaspersky Anti-Virus - new version available

Kaspersky is good but i prefer Eset since its less interrupting, kaspersky popups every time i open an .exe file

Well, even though its personal choice for everyone to choose a AV product. Kaspersky Popups are good in one way compared to no popups. If you do not want the popups, you can disable it easily without going even in options.

I hate those AV products which do everything on own like deleting or quarantining a a file without even asking user if it is a good file. Even though its good when user is novice but for a user above average, this automation is a problem.

Even when I try to open MS Excel it opens a popup, that's troubling for me.

If kaspersky cant certify a Microsoft software that has been scanned during installation and multiple times later is clean and needs to query the user each time then that AV is not for me.

Thats the reason i shifted to less intrusive and more clever security suite. OTOH kaspersky is known to be better at catching rootkits and new types of malware but i dont visit warez sites, so for the time being i will stick with Eset.

Well, Kaspersky doesnt popup when you open a Microsoft app like MS Excel unless its really infected or its patched using some hack etc or its doing something suspicious. I have never seen a kaspersky popup while opening any Microsoft app.

Also, Just visiting warez sites only wont infect , there are other ways to get infected.

Regarding ESET, yes its a great AV product.

Mine did and it was MS Office 2003 to be exact and this behaviour was not limited to just ms office apps but to all .exe's And no hack or patch was used since this was original version paid for by my company.

yes i know, drive by downloads, tabjacking and malicious ads are also gaining preference among malicious programers

Regarding ESET, yes its a great AV product.

Looks like we both agree on this point
