I am primarily concerned with detection rate and resource usage. |

anyone seen these new "cloud based" AV solutions? Prevx is one that I've run across recently. |

why you have norton and mcafee on the list is a mystery. Even if you ignore the resource hog problems, they are consistently the worst at detection
Prevx isn't new, and its not 'cloud' based. It verifies your license, so you have to be online to use it, but the software is on the PC. Its actually one of the better ones for detecting rootkits You totally forgot AVG and Avira, both of which blow away paid solutions even in their free version. And the #1 detection software for 2009 is Kaspersky - again! As tested by Digital Investigation and SC |

What I'm sick of hearing from people is that "<program x> using far less system memory than NOD32". That may be true in some cases but I don't care. I have 8GB of RAM and NOD32 uses around 42MB. Doesn't affect my system at all. And I'd bet that NOD32's detection rates beats <program x> every time. |
