The Best Antivirus Solution

Headache trying to figure out which Antivirus (AV) product to pick among the vast range of choices? Some told you this while others told you that?

Believe me, you’ve come to the right place for the answer!

AV-Comparatives named ESET the Best Antivirus Product the last two years as they know it’s proactive, precise technology that stops malware. ESET NOD32 Antivirus consistently proves itself to be the best antivirus software, clearly ranking higher in detection, size and speed when compared to its competitors.

Approximately 80% of threats discovered by ESET are proactively detected using ThreatSense heuristics. For example, all variants of MyDoom, Netsky, Bagle and Mytob were detected heuristically—well before other vendors had issued a signature.

when it comes to "in-the-wild," virus detection, no one even comes close

Over the past ten years, ESET has collected 52 VB100 awards—more than any other vendor.

You might think something so powerful would eat up your resources, which is not true. Because of its highly optimized code and light system footprint, ESET NOD32 Antivirus includes one of the fastest scanners in the industry, as the following charts clearly illustrate.

In September ’08, West Coast Labs tested business anti-malware products from six leading vendors and compared product performance and impact on system performance. ESET Smart Security Business Edition had the lowest system memory usage and the least impact on system and application performance. The following charts compare ESET Smart Security with five other leading anti-malware vendors.

Add up all the above, it’s no surprise that ESET NOD32 was named Best Antivirus Product afterall :)

Malaysian universities losing out..yet again..

Read from malaysiakini bout ranking of universities. N it was said that malaysian universities are losing out to Thailand, Indosnesia and Philippines. (and singapore as always)

National University of Singapore is placed at No. 30 and Nanyang Technological University at No. 77.

Thailand (Chulalongkorn University No. 166), Indonesia (University of Indonesia No. 287) and the Philippines (Ateneo de Manila University No. 254 and University of the Philippines No. 276).

While 'proudly' presenting, Malaysia:-

UKM-250
USM-313
UPM-320

Anyway, out of curiousity, i went searching for the ranking of University of Strathclyde. Skim through 1-100, not there. Went through 101-200, not there either. 201-300...ahh...finally found it. Their current ranking is at 270, and No. 37 in the UK. Hmmm.....

someone among us

Listening to: Monotone by Katy Rose on Last.fm

For the past few days I was in a miserable mood cos I can’t register for the hottest subject. All my friends registered for Internet Technology & as usual, last minute register & the subject is no longer offered to us cos quota is limited. Tried day & night, day to day & even donkuu helped me to check from time to time cos mana tau someone decided to drop IT & that leaves a space for me.

So like today, yc say she wana print out the registered form cos tomorrow need to give mentor sign & I was so bummed out that I still can’t register IT & everyone, besties, groupies all register for IT leaving me taking System Analysis & Design.

So then I put up this on my MSN:

mel: whoever drops IT for me will receive RM20

And so I went to check the system again & surprise surprise… IT is in the list again! Faster double-click & save it. Phew, the pop-up confirmation did work & I’m so superbly happy now. Called donkuu, he was happy for me. Both started planning for the next semester already. Okok… cool down. This sem is not over yet. still got 5 more papers to go. Zzz.

Whoever did that or if there is any, thank you so much. You save my life cos I don’t need to take System Analysis & Design although I heard the tutor is a hottie.

Although I still cannot register one major, but still thnx so much. Yayyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
