nod32 doesnt pick up viruses

[sundai]

I have recently purchased nod32 .
I use Xoftspy to scan each morning and it has picked up
three infections, later I ran nod32 to try and pick them up
and it has not picked up anything !
Troj_dlowd.A
W32 Chainsaw worm
W32 Coflop.mm
I am very concerned as Nod is supposed to be excellent
at detecting trojans and worms, can anyone advise me
as to why ?
thanks

Hi sundai.

Welcome to Wilders.

U may want to take a look here,

Seems Xoftspy might not be the most reputable security app.

It's also on the rogue list,

Hi Sundai, welcome to Wilders, you may not be aware, there is a thread here for tweaking up Nod32: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=37509

Hope this helps...

Thanks Snowbound for the info, I was beginning to wonder
how come Xoftspy was finding the same virus each morning
after it supposedly deleted it the day before, I must say I am
peeved as this program was recommended by sites that review
software.
Can you recommend a good and reputable spyware program
that I can use?
I now assume the virus I have is not real as nod32 doesnt
pick up anything.


Blackspear.. thanks for the link to the tweeking, I followed
all the instructions.
There isnt any info for the Nod 32 System setup tab, what
needs to be selected there or does this not matter ?

thanks again

I’m not too certain as to where exactly you mean, can you throw up a screen shot…

Your screenshot looks just like mine. You can hit the system setup button for options. After you hit setup, there is a help file at the bottom of the window that explains each function.

What you are seeing is just your "overall" setup of Nod32, I tend to leave this area alone...

Hope this help...
