GDATA AntiVirus 2009 Review

FYI - I uploaded the GDATA antivirus 2009 review last night.  YouTube.com/mrizos
I really enjoyed working with GDATA.  I firmly beleive that multiple scan engines are the furture (along with whitelisting).  GDATA removed 95% of the malware on the test PC, however it couldn’t remove Qhost or any malware related registry entries.

Nod 32 V3.0 Re-Reviewed

Due to the crazy NOD supporters, I have re-reviewed NOD32 V3.
This time NOD32 was configured to detect potentially unwanted software and did in fact remove all rogue antimalware products this time (you’ll see that in part 2 of the video which I have not made yet), however the PC was left in an unusable state [...]
