Thanks for the post Carol. The "BN" rating refers the the rating from
BetaNews FileForum. The details as far as pros/cons for apps I have not personally tested come from the user reviews on that site. As more people (hopefully) post here with their comments, I will keep the top post updated.
As far as the "list as many as possible" idea well that wouldn't really be a "whats the best" then now would it! :tellme: This section is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all programs available in a category, but rather a clear, concise and organized view at only the "cream of the crop". Think "if I were stranded on a deserted island, what would I bring" -- only of course this time we are talking software and not pocket knives and twine.
Glad to see you are a fellow NOD32 user and yes, I have found many of the same shortcomings. I have disabled its "advanced heuristics" feature for the time being because all it ever did was generate false positives for me, and it does have a noticable impact (slowdown) on the system.
