Re: [RBASE-L] - anti virus for business

[Steve Johnson]

I've been using Kaspersky on about 30 machines of various flavors for at least 10 years with no problems. My apps,are relatively small so I can't comment on the speed issue, but you can exclude file extensions  in Kaspersky.  My one time file errors was with one client who would leave their Rbase ‎application on overnight on a regular basis. The problem was somehow connected to the backup program running overnight on their server where the data files were located. Since only one machine was involved, I just moved the data files to the local machine. Their IT guys could not figure out what was happening, but data was often missing the following day.  Maybe my strange episode might be helpful to anyone experiencing something similar.

A few years ago they offered a lifetime license for all the computers in your home for a very reasonable one time cost and I have it installed in at least 10 computers for several years now at no additional cost. The one time I had an issue, tech support asked for time when I would be available and they accessed my computer remotely and cleaned, you just don’t get that type of support from others. They have now several flavors of corporate licenses depending on your needs and size of your firm. I typically exclude individual extensions and also the compiled executables and seems to work fine.   I have a client that uses the Windows built-in anti-virus and they have had several problems with it. I normally run MalwareBytes for several cycles until no traces are found and then setup an anti-virus. I had McAfee before but much like Symantec, it had a big footprint and was very slow. Vipre has a small footprint and is pretty speedy.   I understand that Kaspersky is pretty good and even when I can get it at no cost through my internet provide but I decided to stay with Vipre. Also, Kaspersky is based in Russia and it is said to have ties to the Russian government which makes me hesitant to use it…although they might actually be better positioned to fight malware since most of it comes from Russia in the first place.

But something still is funky with Avast. Sometimes when I am downloading files from the internet they will be corrupt. I go home and try it on my home pc and  they work fine.   Dan Goldberg   From: rbase-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbase-l@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jim Belisle Sent: Tuesday, February 7, 2017 7:20 AM To: rbase-l@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [RBASE-L] - anti virus for business   Our IT people did the same thing re. RBASE. By excluding the RX extensions, our speed increased.   James Belisle   Making Information Systems People Friendly Since 1990   From: rbase-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbase-l@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Albert Berry Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2017 9:18 AM To: rbase-l@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - anti virus for business   Dan, try excluding the folder where the compiled app resides. I’m not sure about the corporate version, but in the pro edition you can exclude certain file extensions. I’ve mine marked not to check rx1, rx2, rx3 and rx4.   Albert   On Feb 7, 2017, at 8:08 AM, karentellef via RBASE-L <rbase-l@googlegroups.com> wrote:   I'll tell ya what I can't recommend.  Back when I used anti-virus, I used Symantec Webroot and loved it.  But you could NOT exclude any files, so you couldn't exclude an RBase database...

Got about 74 machines with it installed right now.   I am using Avast Business Security but am thinking it might be a cause for my Rbase corruption problem.       Dan Goldberg --  You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBASE-L" group.
