Why Nod32 updates are so small now?

Why Nod32 updates are so small now?

For exemple:

NOD32 - 1.1215 (20050913) / posted 12:01)
Virus signature database updates:
Win32/Lewor.S

NOD32 - 1.1227 (20050921) / posted 07:21)
Virus signature database updates:
Win32/Bagle.CY, Win32/Bobax.AG

NOD32 - 1.1228 (20050921) / posted 10:40)
Virus signature database updates:
Win32/Ariss, Win32/Ariss.B, Win32/Bagle.CZ, Win32/Pywon, Win32/Pywon.B, Win32/TrojanDownloader.Agent.NCY, Win32/TrojanDropper.Agent.TV, Win32/Viking.E

 

I think Eset only cares about good updates when the av-comparatives` test is comming...

 

The bad guys were on holiday, so lesser viruses and smaller updates

If you think you know the answer to your own question, then the point of the thread was what? Besides the answer you provide is nonsense.

 

I'm sorry but that was not a well thought out reply. Also, in case your curious the on-demand (signature) comparative was just completed in August and will not be run again until Feb 2006, so your example updates have nothing to do with av-comparatives. I'm not trying to bash, I just annoys me when people make claims without providing any proof.

 

Anyways, it seems to me that the frequency of updates is greater inverse to the size of updates.

 

How about moving this to the Nod section? Nod is being mentioned enough already in 'Other Antivirus Software'.

Why allowing all these posts in this section? There's a separate NOD32 section!!!!

Please.......!!!!!!

Putin

 

Probably because it's a bash from the thread starter as you can see in post #2..

 

No excuse......

Putin

 

Any NOD32 topic that’s not related to NOD32 SUPPORT can be discussed here.


tD

 

OK back to topic... I guess the recent updates are small because they are tweaks to heuristics, archieve support and other such things, not just virus database updates.

 

My intention was not to bash nod32, I was just worried because I use NOD32....

 

Not sure why you just posted a few updates?

As I posted the updates look ok to me over the last 3 days.

Don't worry about it. Nobody was killed and softwares are just computer programs.
As long these softwares do their job, I keep them or else i ditch them without regret.
The only software I love is my wife LOL.

The trouble with posts is that it is written down black on white and everybody can read it and interprete it in different ways. In a life conversation you can quickly correct your mistakes.
If you made a mistake, learn from it, next time better. Case closed.
I've been attacked so many times at SWI, each time it happens I call my wife to read it so we can laugh about it.

 

You drink too much .. Cheers!

 

Oh well, if that's the way it goes.........too bad but this whole forum goes about ONE product and one product only.......three guesses: NOD32.


And don't try to convince me of anything else, I won't buy it!

Good luck!

Putin

 

Try a quick search of this forum section with keyword "kav" and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Try any other known AV and you'll find quite a bit as well.

 

There are threads about kav, mcafee, avast, panda etc.
It's not about NOD all of it, far from it

 

Even my AVG Free is sometimes in the window.

 

Ah good point

 

Waters, I have moved your post over here so that discussion regarding forums etc can go on unhindered without leading this thread off-topic.

 

Yes, I fully agree, but you forget one big thing........in 99% of the other mentioned AV's, Nod is always coupled to it .......as being better, lighter, faster and you name it and that's what bothers me. That's all.

If someone is having trouble with his free AVG, there's always somebody out there saying: "Try Nod, you won't be sorry".
I just don't think it's fair.
