Does anyone have + or - thoughts about the above? My Bit Defender runs
out in 3 weeks time and I'm looking at Steganos to replace it as it had
the best review in a computer mag for anti-virus. It looks as though it
uses Kaspersky which seems to be a good one.

It is suggested to get Kaspsersky over the Steganos offering. Even the AOL AVS
offering
(with the AOL toolbar NOT installed) is preferred.

Even though Steganos uses the Kaspersky a/v? I've always steered clear
of AOL stuff wherever possible! I'm happy to pay for a decent program,
although I also use AVG free.
Do you have any particular criticism of Steganos? I've just installed
the Internet Security trial and so far I'm quite impressed although I
won't know if it has missed anything yet! I personally prefer to use an
Internet Security suite, purely for tidiness really, rather than
assorted programs to do the same job.
Thanks.

There has been little or no feedback on Steganos where there is tremendoes
feedback on
Kaspersky's offering via AOL. It is not the case of using the Engine and
Signatures of
Kaspersky but a repackage of Kaspersky software.

I've seen a couple of fairly negative reviews of AOL which has put me
off. The Kaspersky is (AIUI) a cutdown version of their own program, no
heuristics. There was also criticism of AOL's attitude that they will
use email addresses.
I haven't tried it but the AOL screenshot looks pretty identical to the
Steganos IS I just installed. Which found something that none of the
others did. Two days and I'm liking it thus far. It doesn't slow my
system down while updating or scanning like Bit Defender now does.

You're right about lack of feedback re Steganos, I only found this
review. Even Amazon aren't selling it yet.
