Which Total security software is better?

[laszlo]

In any case - I dont think that 'THAT' file you scanned is infected - but your system has ALREADY been infected somehow & you didnt get around to cleaning it. since you rather waste time reinstalling the O/S which takes MORE effort & is MORE time consuming in my opinion & its even worse since your doing a clean install, not restoring it from an image.

dear friend,

you make confusion in your previous post between scanning the system and cleaning the infected one.

"that" file was the source because i opened again after i restored from back-up and i obtained the same results;i made this just to eliminate the possibility you have mentioned above.

also you make confusion between reinstalling (hours) and restoring from back-up (5 minutes) ;the result is the same = fresh install

reinstalling and restoring from a backup, unless the backup was made recently you still have to reinstall all your programs. And even if it was only a week old, you still have to back up any new data/files manually, before proceeding with the restoration of the backup.

Its not as big a time saver as you might think, if you have a slipstreamed install disk with the latest service pack. it takes fifteen minutes - fifteen - to install windows 7 off a USB drive. Your 5 minute restoration is either an outright lie, or a poor example - if you backed up a 160GB drive, you simply couldnt move that much data in 5 minutes, let alone more.

you're right! my back-up for ex. contain all programs i use usually ;when i restore from a previous back-up i usually refresh the drivers (if available) and i'm refreshing the back-up also.

only when i know that i have new data/files or game saves in my docs are extract them manually but for me the back-up restore was the best and fast procedure till now.

i don't lie about the 5 min. i have a full c: back-up=4.7 Gb (os &all programs)on other hard (and a previous back-up on DVD just in case) the rest of my drives aren't back-upped (movies,games music...) i don't care if i loose them aren't so important

No i have not made confusion. Im being direct. in that case then why are you reinstalling windows because of 1 virus/malware?? after all you did say that malware was well hidden & your Nod32 isnt doing the job so it is correct for me to assume that your system is completely infected is it not? unless youve just reinstalled completely since my last post, in which case your system would be clean

I used bit defender V10 for last 2 yr and never got infected or attacked.
So i dont think totasl security is ineffective.
But now my license was going to expire so i was thinking to try something else..

Anways, let me see more opinions. I'm mostly going to have bit defender 2009 or kaspersky.

I have been using Bitdefender for a few years now, and it's been mostly good. I'm now just running a trial of Kapersky, and while it looks good so far, I can't get new e-mails. Most irritating.
