The Best Virus Scanner - Nod32
TheNightWatchman:
How is it possible to FIND a new virus every hour? I'm sure there are a lot more than 1 created every hour... but to be able to update that fast?
Bovski:
Its more than one virus added every hour.
When you submit new viruses they normally have worked out how it works how to remove it and named it and replyed to your email within half an hour and its in the next hourly update.

the list of awards for NOD 32 is ridiculous :)
(I couldnt find a list of Kaspersky's awards)..
also, notice that Kaspersky doesn't compare their product with NOD32?? (http://usa.kaspersky.com/products/anti-virus.php)
bottom line, Kaspersky is a great anti-virus product, but hourly updates (which NOD32 provides as well) isn't always enough. there are more important things to think of such as heuristics to prevent infection before detection updates are available. in which case, NOD32 has about 8 years running as the leader of 100% detection rate. which is just an example, and I have nothing against Kaspersky. you SHOULD be using NOD32, AVG, or Kaspersky. From there, its just a personal preference on how you like your anti-virus solution to function, and for me, nod32 is perfect ;) Whatever works for you from those is 100000x better than any other product, dare I mention Norton or McAffee =p
