How do you choose anti-virus software (2)-Guide to anti-virus software selection

This article is not an article about horizontal evaluation of n types of anti-virus software, but an article about building a platform based on my own user experience. For now, good anti-virus software has its own characteristics, but they are all the same. Therefore, there is no universal anti-virus software. The key is to choose a suitable anti-virus software. This article will be divided into the following parts.
1. More important than installing anti-virus software.
2. Basic concepts of anti-virus software.
3. select an appropriate anti-virus software.
Note: I deliberately avoided the specific settings and operations on various anti-virus software. I wrote some widely used suggestions based on my user experience.

1. More important than installing anti-virus software
We all know that anti-virus software is installed to make computers safer and better. In fact, there are many computer habits and details that are more effective than installing an anti-virus software.
1. We should update Windows from time to time. Enable the Windows automatic update reminder (which can be set in the system attributes. To avoid affecting normal usage, you can set the reminder when there is an update, but do not install it automatically .), In addition, you should also go to the Windows Update Website to see if some patches are not at high risk level, and it is also necessary to install them.
2. When installing the software, you should read the description of each step rather than click "Next ". Many software, especially Chinese software, and cracking software, are now attached with plug-ins. Although these rogue plug-ins are not virus-infected, they are still very bad. When installing the software, do not select the default installation. Instead, manually install the software, and check whether there are rogue plug-ins in the components. (the old version of storm audio and video is disgusting, his plug-ins are mixed in the installation options of a bunch of decoder. Generally, if you are not clear about the plug-ins, the plug-ins will be directly installed if you choose all the options .). The prompt box should also be clear, rather than the inertial click "no ". (I have seen a software before. When you have not chosen to install the plug-in, it will pop out a prompt box asking "do you want to install the xx plug-in ?", When you choose no, it will jump out and ask "Are you sure you don't want to install xx plug-in .", If you continue to click "no" with inertia, the plug-in will be installed at the end .)
3. When accessing the internet, you should keep an eye on your personal key information and password. Many phishing websites have the same page as normal webpages, and even connect to formal websites. At this time, users are easily deceived. Therefore, when you enter a password for a website (especially when you are prompted to win the prize, do not be overwhelmed by Joy), you must carefully check the connection in the address bar, or is there a strange feeling in the page details.
4. In various IM software, do not open the connection provided by strangers unless you are sure there is no problem.
5. For ordinary people, most E-mails are spam and should not be misled by text or connections.
6. For general users, the system restoration function is good.

Ii. Basic concepts of anti-virus software.
Today's anti-virus software is no longer just a virus concept. Nowadays, people often refer to the following anti-virus concepts: virus detection, real-time protection, network firewall, anti-Trojan, and anti-phishing. The so-called new features promoted by some anti-virus manufacturers in China (such as game account protection proposed by rising) are all refined from these basic concepts and made into a separate module, to increase the market selling point.
Virus Detection and real-time protection are the basic functions of every anti-virus software.
Network Firewall, Microsoft's windows xp has its own, but it is relatively simple. Skynet and ZoneAlarm, which are specialized in firewalls, are well-known and powerful. The other is that the "firewall" in the anti-virus software package is standard.
Anti-Trojan, almost everyone said that ewido (the latest version is changed to AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5) is the world's most powerful Anti-trojan software. I tried it and found that it would set some cookies and dr.com clients to a high level of danger (in fact, because these things secretly modified key processes or have Trojan characteristics, so it is not an ewido false positive .), However, this is undoubtedly not suitable for beginners or beginners. The isolation without analysis will affect daily operations. Other Chinese and foreign software such as marker star and Anti-Trojan Shield can scan and kill popular Trojans, which may be more suitable for beginners. (Here, the definition of a beginner is that at least QQ will be used, and it is easy to believe that some users who are the so-called "master" comments .)
Anti-phishing: FireFox and IE7 integrated with google toolbar all have integrated functions, while Kaspersky and others also have corresponding functions. However, I still think that the naked eye is the best tool for anti-phishing.

3. select an appropriate anti-virus software
First of all, it should be clear that in most cases, two anti-virus software should not be used together, so that the anti-virus effect will not be doubled, in exchange for only a variety of strange problems caused by compatibility. 2. If a firewall is installed, you can disable the firewall that comes with windows. In addition, "xx anti-virus software is spam" mentioned by "computer experts" and "network management", "we use xx anti-virus software, which is the best ", comments such as "xx anti-virus software cannot kill viruses" should be provided for reference only, and their opinions should be kept rather than blindly convinced. Remember what Xiaoping said: "practice is the standard for testing truth ". Also, anti-virus is much more important than anti-virus (anti-virus should be performed in security mode )!! If yes, update the virus database every day.
Many people say that the most basic thing is not to choose Anti-Virus Software in China. However, I think anti-virus software (Jinshan, rising, and Jiangmin) from three major Chinese manufacturers is a good choice for beginners, at least they can easily buy genuine ones (remember that anti-virus software must be genuine, huh, huh) without worrying about cracking. As far as I use it, Kingsoft and Ruixing are similar (Jiangmin has never used it), and the so-called exclusive trump card features they each promote are somewhat similar. However, some of their unique characteristics that cannot be found by viruses may be a good thing for novice users. Because many Trojans are bound to system processes or even hardware drivers, only the system fails and cannot be started. Therefore, they have to be reinstalled.
Anti-Virus Software in foreign countries may have more comprehensive functions, but most of them need to be cracked. It is a "huge" project to uninstall it like Norton. McAfee I only used it for a short period of time, so I am not very familiar with it. However, many of them are loyal users with weak functionality. Norton has been using it before using Kabbah, But it consumes too much memory. Users with small memory are not suitable for using Norton, but his protection is indeed comprehensive. NOD32 has never been used, and I heard it is awesome (that is, there is no perfect cracking. Every time I have to reload it ?), I 'd like to try it If I have the chance.
Kaspersky has never changed it since it was used a year ago. Many people say that it cannot kill viruses. In fact, many Trojans have backups, removing the ontology and restarting machines, but in fact, at this time, the connection between the trojan and the outside world has been cut off by Kabbah, and it is just a dead mahle in the machine. It is a bit uncomfortable to see "unhandled threats. False positives often occur, because many software (especially rogue plug-ins) are using virus technology (secretly modifying processes and using a large number of "hooks ), many normal software installation programs are bundled with plug-ins, so to use Kabbah, there should be a certain degree of computer base and analysis capabilities. Many new beginners often get rid of Kabbah directly and cannot start it.
Finally, it is about whether to choose the anti-virus package or a combination of self-configured anti-virus software + Firewall + anti-Trojan. In general, friends with computer-based knowledge prefer to prepare their own anti-virus systems. The combination of kav + zonealarm + ewido is indeed more controllable and effective. However, this is unrealistic and unnecessary for general users. For example, Norton's nis, Kabbah's kis, and the three major domestic anti-virus software packages can all meet the requirements of most users. In addition, their default settings can save the headache for novice users. For example, if I use Kaspersky's kis, novice users can choose the most basic firewall level (low security) and do not enable active defense. Although the security factor is discounted, however, the chance of misoperations caused by unfamiliar computers is also greatly reduced, but computers can be used better. In short, there is no need to install duplicate functions. For example, if you have already installed a set, there is no need to add a firewall or something.
