Re: Bug/Issue Reports and Solutions
Mainly AVG as it is for free for home user and exceptionaly fast, E-trust for servers etc. (your only pay once, then lifetime pattern update for free...Linux and Windows etc. ist supportet as server os for any lizenz, but any way not that easy to install...).
Avaste is another good scanner too, as it featurs this heuristic trojaner detection.
So it warns you, if your system is going to behave strang, e.g. like sending several hundred virus mails....even if the trojan is not already known. But AVast! is very slow, comparable like Antivir or Norton Antivirus.
I have had no problems with both programms, but shure, ATM there is no program wich can protect a system afgainst all threads. But at least they give a warning if this happend. E.g. those Java.byteverfier trojans, you get if your lourking around at some dirt places on the net.
The engines detect them only when it is too late. But IMHO the other progs arent better at this.
But if you suggest to use Firefox as main browser, those problems vanish.
Any way, AVG catches most if no all viruses from my usuall daily crap email volume (i get abouth 100 -200 spam mails & virusmails daily, as one of my earlier email addy is severely burned from the old days warez & hackerz forums........).
Another very important thing is Spybot search& destroy, or similar programms to imunize the IE, as there are always some sites, where you have to use IE.
Adding to this generall setup an NAT router, i would say it should ok, as long as the user don`t do absolut silly things or is always surfing on the dark side of the net.
For hackerz i suppose, linux and very few rights with the logged in user is the way to go.
ATM i think it is more important to make the users aware abouth phising inlcunding the ability to determin if a atachement is safe or not.

. In any case, if you need to install something you can either download it yourself, or just enable the ActiveX downloading behavior temporarily before turning it back off again.
