antivirus features comparatives

[superhacker]

IM protection:instant messages protection
P2P:peer to peer networks protection
HIPS:host instruction prevention
IDS: instruction detection system
anti-phishing in avast:when you try to surf a phishing website or infected one avast will warn you
avast 4.8! home edition/Norton 2010/avira free9/avg free 8.5/kaspersky antivirus 2010/eset nod 4/dr.web 5
the gray ball mean i dont know about you if you know let us know.
i am not a media designer and avast forum dont allow huge files so i try to make it so small with good quality.
if any thing wrong please correct it and add to it then share it with other websites to let people know about the real antivirus.

With an image like this, with few colours it is easier to save it as a gif, that would reduce the file size considerably without any real loss of quality.

The same image I copied and saved as a gif works out at 61.7KB, a third of the size.

I tend to use only gif images when posting.

avast with HIPS? Where did you get that picture?
Norton without P2P protection?

Hi superhacker,something indeed is wrong with your chart

1.Avast 4.8 don't have the behavior shield.Avast 5 has that
2.Avg free does have anti-phishing.The active web shield that is installed with the link scanner does that.

Some other things you need to correct:

HIPS mean host intrusion prevention system and not host instruction system
IDS means intrusion detection system and not instruction detection system

Hope this helps you

[superhacker]

i mean beahvior blocker OR HIPS
NORTON WITHOUT P2P THAT WHAT THEY SAY

HIPS mean host intrusion prevention system and not host instruction system
IDS means intrusion detection system and not instruction detection system

 host intrusion prevention system
 intrusion detection system

 Weird. I am using Google Chrome 4.0.206.1 and I did not have any trouble with spell check.

Avira has anti phishing also.

[DavidR]

So does Firefox, so does OpenDNS, so for me this isn't an essential must have feature, but just another tick in a box.

[Lisandro]

The chart is biased imho.

[superhacker]

Avira has anti phishing also

avira website tell you free avira dont have one.

The chart is biased imho

Hi superhacker,

Iḿ not sure if my googling is luckier than your googling; how about ¨peace¨ and there is no need to be upset because DavidR, an acknowledged authority, says ¨ïtś only a matter of ticking boxes¨.

My regards

[Lisandro]

Oh, you've created the chart!? 
Well, maybe biased was not the correct word.
But seems that you need to double check if you have made the correct assumptions, doesn't you?

[DavidR]

Hi superhacker,

Iḿ not sure if my googling is luckier than your googling; how about ¨peace¨ and there is no need to be upset because DavidR, an acknowledged authority, says ¨ïtś only a matter of ticking boxes¨.

My comment was directed to the post directly above mine. The point of it was more of a there are now getting to be so many features that get added to AVs which are already covered by many other applications. Some of which I would say aren't directly an anti-virus function, but because someone introduces it they all end up adding it just to have that box ticked (so to speak).

So when there is some form of comparison they don't want to be with an empty box, making them look lacking in any way, so they too add the feature and so checking the box.
