    You know, not that I am giving any credibility to this thread nor bashing Nod in any way, but I can tell you that when I was testing various AVs for my new x64 system, I did find that Avast! Pro found more malicious things on web sites than Nod did for me. I personally felt safer running Avast! Pro so I purchased it over Nod. Just my little experience in trial with both products. Yes I see the test results and how great Nod is supposed to be over alot of the others, but when I can visit the same sites with both products and only Avast! detected the threat, then thats what made up my mind. Again I am not bashing Nod in any way but I personally feel its trojan detection is not on par with some of the others out there.

    Sounds like your talking down to the NOD users from a soapbox here regarding their "misfortune".

    i think nod32 is the second best scanner around after kav. that is why i am comparing the two products and since trojans are what im most interseted in im comparing my experances of thier detection rates,why this causes offence i can only wonder what the nod police have done to some of the people on this forum! :D

    We are the NOD. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

    BTW, this is a silly little thread. As noted on Jotti's site:

    You're free to (mis)interpret these automated, flawed statistics at your own discretion. For antivirus comparisons, visit AV comparatives

    is thread just for bashing nod32? like stan999 posted:

    "You're free to (mis)interpret these automated, flawed statistics at your own discretion. For antivirus comparisons, visit AV comparatives."

    i dont judge an AV by the jotti scan results. instead i focus on having a layered approach to security. i use ewido (AT), avast (email, web shield, and standard shield disabled.) and PG and Online Armor (both HIPS). i also have various other tools for system hardening and antispyware.

    Trojan ... If you wish to continue taking general shots at NOD and NOD users this thread will be closed. If you wish to add something of value and contribute in a positive way please do so, but don't continue down this path - as there is NO purpose. ;)

    I don't think anyone is doubting that KAV has better detection of trojans than NOD. Sometimes NOD is practically the only one to miss a trojan - but I have seen its heuristics come through a few times. So all is not lost with NOD. There's a free site that was mentioned here that offers a codec that has a trojan - NOD detects it as a variant, while KAV still misses it.

    Right now NOD32 lags behind KAV, but NOD32 has come a long way.

    All of us know that KAV have a better detection than NOD32 and all the other AV's, but NOD32 are doing an great job to improve this area as we can see on the last test of AV-Comparatives...

    Even the "worst" AV can detect something that the "best" AV don't detect, and so on...

    Well your trolling has gone far enough. :) Why -> It's what we do (Maintain the integrity of the forum) ... We aren't here to senselessly bash any product ... if that's your pleasure, please fell free to hang your hat elsewhere.

    Seeing as you failed to learn from the insight others have shared, and are posting only to incite, this thread is now closed.

    Regards;

    Steve
