Update to Ikeb:

I checked. The answer is no, not on any server. Here is the link to my posts at the Antivir Support Forums.

Thanks PS. I figured that would be the answer. This server OS has some overheads I never expected when deciding it was my best way to utilize the hardware I have. Sad

Hmmm.

I now have AVG (to lazy to install AVPE) but I just want to know which one of those detects more virusses. Of course, the payed products are better (most of the time)...

Howdy,

No baiting here! Wink We are in the AVPE (spoken free!!!) forum!! You might want to take the time to install AVPE and try it out, maybe as a backup to AVG. AVPE has super heuristics also macro heuristics. Or if you want to pay for something try Vexira - it's the US licensed PAYFOR AVPE!!!

So you want a comparison of Antivir and AVG, eh?

Take a look at this AV test list:

AVPE is better by the general specifications and toe-to-toe with most other AV's, but every PC is different, almost like people are different from each other. Each PC is a fiendishly complicated architecture with more variables than ports. So, whatever AV works best on your PC is the one you use! Expirement a little with AV programs, until you find a shoe that fits. Wink
