I will tell you about my Rav experiences....
About two years ago we got about 70 licenses for RAV, pretty much money.....
It was impossible to install the product on machines running Windows 95. I have worked with some guys from RAV company and they have checked my systems to be sure that the systems are OK from RAV's point of view (software and hardware requirements). Everything was OK but RAv did not worked as advertised.
The solution received from the rav guys was that I should not use the product on the older machines despite the fact that these machines were complying with the requirements of rav. The result is that it was impossible to use the product. Beside that it was impossible to download the updates using Netscape and the manual update process.
Yesterday I have tried to install RAV on a client machine running Windows 2000. No chance. The system rebooted when trying register to the product in order to update it. It was impossible to make it work.
So I think that is normal that Microsoft got RAV if you have in mind the great quality of microsoft products. Rav is of the same quality, might look nice but that's all.
I have a kit for making viruses and RAV do not see it as it should, so any virus made with that kit it is not detected by rav. I have used other products and all the other detected the kit as supposed.
I do not use rav and I do not recommend it to our customers (at least the windows version).
