"best" virusprogram

[Randal, Phil]

The best one is that which catches all viruses all of the time.
 
Failing that, a mix increases your chances of catching new ones.
 
We use McAfee's uvscan, Bitdefender, and ClamAV here.  Usually ClamAV and
Bitdefender get their new detections out before McAfee, which is on a
daily DAT release cycle.  One of the latest Bagle variants was an
exception to the rule, with mcafee catching it first.
 
I'd recommend ClamAV and Bitdefender to everybody.
 
Cheers,
 
Phil

Hi

I was wundering if anyone has an opinion on what is the best
combination of virus scanners?

I thing I once say something about most virusscanners where simply
builds of kaspersky? So using that one would void some others?

Im looking at: bitdefender, clamavmodule, f-prot, kaspersky - using
all 4 together.

any insight as to why one would be better than the other?

best regards
Jan
