Subject: Hi! Antiviruses Comparison - A Little Research Results

Dear Rafel Ivgi, The-Insider,

Now  bad things about McAfee: antiviral bases are updated only once in a
week (remember Mydoom? Kaspersky updates signatures every 4 hours), dies
on  checking far.exe, detects any MS Office file with dot in a name as a
heuristic   virus,  requires  ePolicy  Orchestrator  to  be  managed  in
corporate  network  and in case of centralized 'mirror' updates requires
all  updates  to  be downloaded twice (because it's impossible to update
machine with mirror itself from mirror).

Any  antivirus  comparsion  demonstrate one thing: CURRENTLY THERE IS NO
GOOD ANTIVIRAL PRODUCT ON MARKET.
