My only complaint about NOD -

which I like very much - is that the database updates without saying that it is doing so. Thus, the hard drive makes all kinds of noise, other stuff is loading slowly for a few seconds, and I'm wondering if a virus is going to take the computer down and is in the process of wiping my hard drive. Sometimes I realize what is going on, sometimes not. A little pop-up would be very helpful. Then I would just wait for NOD to finish and not reach for my gun.

 

Hi SteelyDon:

Turning off silent mode will do just that (assuming Balloon tips are on). It is not as intrusive as the previous version(s).

 

Well, NOD32 doesn't warn you udring the update process but it warns you at the end with a small pop-up: "NOD32 has been updated to version...."
To enable this go to NOD32 System Tools->Setup->General tab and disable Enable silent mode check box.

 

Speaking of that bubble, one just popped up a few seconds ago with a new update.

You can also set NOD32 to prompt you first before an update is actually downloaded.

 

I almost always notice the bubble after the update and like it - kind of showing me that NOD is on the ball
I hardly ever notice anything before - I guess because the updates are so quick

 

Thanks to all.

I followed Marcus' advice and now NOD prompts first.

NOD was OK, it was MY fault. I are not smart enough.
