Since Updation problems have been a major talking point here, I thought this might be of interest to the users of AntiVir.

My company provides licenses of McAfee's antivirus to its employees for home use and so I thought, why not try it out since I get it for free.

And even though the product is pretty good, I have to download its signature file, which is 3.9 MB in size at its minimum. Also, during statrtup, I see that the program is using in total about 20 MB RAM. That's a lot compared to AntiVir.

So, people who complain, be happy you dont have to download a file the size of AntiVir everytime you want to update your antivirus.

Hi satishincbs,

Welcome to CastleCops and our AVPE Forum.

Thanks for the accolades. Having to download nearly 4 Mb just to get an update is daunting to people who only have dialup.

Broadband DSL or Cable are much faster. I get my AntiVir updates in about 20 seconds. On Cable it takes 5 seconds or less.


Best regards
