- Video : Nvidia 7950 GT
- HDD : 2 x320 Seagate raid 0 .
2008 Antivirus performance :
First we checked the scan time for each antivirus using 33.7 GB (data , with virus) .
Scan time in second --- Lower = Better
Note: - Norton antivirus 2008 hang wile detecting one virus (the time shown above is for 33 % just before the hang up) . - The fastest antivirus here is kaspersky with just over 4 min , all other antivirus has about the same performance except MCAfee and Avast witch completely fail the speed scan test .
Peak memory usage (In MB) --- Lower = Better
Note: Pc-cillin 2008 show here the best result with lowest memory usage while Fsecure is alone with over 160 MB memory .
3Dmark Score (Points)--- Higher = Better
Note: - Well it was always interesting to check the overall system performance wile running virus scan in the background . here we used 3d2001 . - McAfee is the best antivirus here sine it post the highest 3D2001 score .Norton here make the slowest system . Note the 3k deference (40.5 and 43.5 ) witch is about 8% system performance .
This chart express the time required to compress file in seconds --- Lower = Better
Note: Here we compressed 258MB (data : 4555 files) while the antivirus was in scan state .The lightest antivirus here is Avast while the slowest is McAfee .Completely strange result since this last already lead in 3D 2001 .
2008 Antivirus efficiency Speed and system performance are required in daily use system but when we talk about antivirus efficiency is a must , capability to detect and remove virus spy-ware ...
Let us check how perform our different antivirus is this test .
The same disk with 33.7 Gb data as said above was loaded with 1399 different spyware and Virus :-) . Here kaspersky is King it detect and remove all virus ,PC-cillin and Avast show respectable result , then we have AVG,NOD and panda . Again we note for some reason Norton 2008 hang while detecting the virus number 760 (Hope that symantec will fix this issue soon). For MCAfee and F-secure just no comment (it is better to clean virus manually
Conclusion :
- Kaspersky is the best as always -- (Must have) .
- PC-cillin can be considered as alternative .
- AVAST was about ok but it is pretty slow in Scan
- AVG , NOD 32 and Panda : good Average antivirus
- Norton 2008 : well designed , but with some issue , we will check with the next version.
- F-secure : was about average in all test but fail virus detection
- McAfee : for us this was a complete failure except the good performance in 3D2001.
