Eset vs Kaspersky 2009: test drive

Yesterday at work they argued with the admins, which antivirus is better, Eset or Kaspersky. From the words decided to get to the point, the results of a small test drive and want to share with habravchanami.

KIS 2009 and Eset Smart Security 3.0.551.0 were compared.
It should be borne in mind that I am not a professional tester, so I looked at all sorts of indicators that I could understand:
  1. Download speed
  2. The speed of checking the same information on a flash drive
  3. The speed of checking the same information on the screw
  4. Work with archives
  5. Impact on Internet speed
  6. Impact on CPU utilization
  7. Well and, actually, search virya

Test results under the cut

1. Download speed - the indicator was not critical, both antiviruses boot in seconds.

2. The speed of working with a flash drive (folder size 685 meg.):


2 min and 3 sec - at Casper and 1 and 7 - at NOD
As you can see, the difference in speed is 2 times, but on the other hand, in quantitative terms, this is only a minute, so in principle it is not critical.

3. Check the folder on the screw (folder size 417 meg, contains several subfolders and archives):


There is already a difference not in time, 6 minutes against 4, but on the other hand, Kaspersky silently checked everything, and GCD periodically resented the contents :)

4. Separately by archives (archive of 100 meg.)


Kaspersky 4 seconds, GCD - 29.
5. Well, actually anti-virus properties.
Just merged from an Internet folder with a collection of viruses (Password virus), and here it is even very strange:


NOD removed 116 vyra from 148
Casper - 133 out of 148

The download speed when running antivirus software does not change by more than 5 kb / s, but I would write it off to the provider.

CPU load when running antivirus:
Nod jumped in the range of 58-72%
Kaspersky was in the range of 17-42%

Conclusion:

In terms of virus scan, Casper turned out to be better than NOD.
Further, the difference in the speed of work is, GCD a little faster. However, if we are talking about a simple user, then the difference in a couple of minutes will not worry him much, but the quality of scanning seems to be higher for Kaspersky.
In general, Casper won in my mini-test.
