It is free too.

Hello, it's repeating situation. No AV will catch "everything", because virus writters have got time advantage etc. Follow this post.

Also notice that new Vundo variants appear everyday, and no antivirus can catch all of them. That's why you can run an anti-spyware along with NOD32, so that it can catch was NOD32 may eventually miss. And actually NOD32 isn't very good with spyware.

Perhaps you've confused adware with spyware? Still, I think that adware detection is decent. It'd be good to know what exactly you are refering to.

Generally it's not very good with adware and with vundos.I'm not saying it's bad, just not very good. But it's fine if you run it along with an anti-spyware.

Hm, strange enough that we receive thousands of Vundo variants via ThreatSense that are detected by us and missed by almost all big players I admit that Microsoft has better detection, the question is whether it also triggers more false positives. There must always be a decent balance between detection sensitivity and false positives.

Well, regarding false positives, NOD32 makes really few
However, about Vundos, I don't doubt that you get that many variants, however to say the truth NOD32 has always had some problems with spyware.(I remember that it was like this since 2.7).this (-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgWU3xebNO4-) is what I mean. Of course that's a very uncommon scenario.

There is a problem with tester.

You have to run complete scan, the best in safe mode, and then run OS in normal mode.

When real-time scanner will scan files step-by-step and they will be detected, you will see this scenario. When there is a trojandownloader, other infected files will be downloaded. All depends on detection. For that I recommend use firewall, which detects these connections and denies them.
