Randy_Bell Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 I use Nav2003 and GAV. When GAV comes out of beta, Has a resident scanner attached. NAV will be completely gone from all of my systems. :PWhile I like GAV and its developer Michael, I don't think it will replace NAV on my home boxes LOL. GAV will remain for me a backup or secondary scanner to NAV. I also use KAV as a backup, which is an excellent scanner. :):) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted March 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 I use AVG and Sygate Firewall,would I benefit from installing GAV?Cheers.Shirl.Shirl,As a secondary (non-resident) scanner for Trojans, backdoors, droppers and worms its well worth installing. We're getting incremental updates (up to 3 a day) at the moment as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for folks who contribute to GAV Project, there is now a real-time scanner as well. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Serendip Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 :D Hi Boris!I never use PayPal either. If you still want to make a donation at GSL/GAV, email [email protected]. He will let you know what to do. This the arrangement we made after a number of efforts proved fruitless.Thanks for the interest.Also, I would like to mention all of the "up and coming" of my previous post have been implemented. Now that GAV is Beta, I haven't had any problems with it at all. I also dumped NAV as my primary AV and replaced it with AVPE. It was like I took this huge weight of my little PC. It runs like a top now. AVPE uses half the resources, RAM and CPU that NAV 2002 did. Like most I do normal scans every couple days with GAV and a full one once a week.Best regards from Larry :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Serendip Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 :lol: Nice handle you have there! How do you pronounce it??Here is the link to the site where you can d/l Antivir Personal Edition: http://www.free-av.com/And here is the link to their Support Forum. It's in German and English: http://www.free-av.de/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgiIt's a really bad idea to be surfing the Net without an AV!Best regards from Larry :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest he he :-)™ Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 sorry to seem so ignorant but what is the Gladiator AV ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted April 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 he he :-)™GAV is a relatively new Free Anti-Virus (but still being developed)http://www.gladiator-antivirus.com/From that site - details :-" Gladiator AntiVirus - GAV is a professional virus and trojan scanner.GAV is designed to detect and identify known Viruses, BAT-Viruses, HLLx-Viruses, I-Worms, IRC-Worms, mIRC-Worms, IIS-Worms, Trojans, Trojan-Notifier, Trojan-Dropper, Trojan-Downloaders, Backdoors, Unix Trojans/Backdoors, VBS Viruses/Backdoors, General Office Macro Viruses, Word Macro Viruses, Excel Macro Viruses within files, boot-sectors, main-boot-records, partition-tables and memory.You can use GAV for scanning all your floppy disks, hard disks, CD-ROMs and network-drives. Gladiator AntiVirus does detect and unpack also runtime packed trojans/worms/backdoors like UPX or PECompact compressed malware. This is a important point and most of the commercial scanners don't have this feature, so GAV is ideal as 2nd On-Demand Scanner to protect the PC from packed/patched malware which other scanners dont find. Note: GAV IS STILL IN BETA PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT! " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest he he :-)™ Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 oh... so I shouldn't download then... I have AVG AV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhat Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 You are quite free to download it, it just may not be a good idea to use it as your primary Anti-Virus product until it is of release version. It can be used as a back-up or supplimentary on-demand scanner, or if you have the urge to donate you will recieve Real-Time monitoring aswell :)Hope you decide to give GAV a go!

mark2 Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 he he :-)™ I run it as a back up to my AVG and my TDS3 antitrojan, use it once a week in case the others have missed any thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmanya Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 I use GAV usually weekly. My on board AV is NIS. Spybot Search & Destroy,Ad-Aware weekly also. http://www.spywareguide.com/blockfile.phpis a great addition - it blocks $hit BEFORE it can enter your PC. * the whole site is extremely interesting ...I don't ever find anything on my PC that is not supposed to be there !I have had no conflicts between GAV & NIS and did not shut off NIS to run GAV.
