    Re: NOD32 is a rubbish software ?

    To all,

    The thread title used in the NOD32 support forum is probably a poor choice given the circumstance of the discussion and posting location. There is also no need to initiate multiple threads on the same topic. Since the question is apparently a general one involving multiple vendors, I've merged the NOD32 support forum thread with this more general one, and discussion can continue in this general venue.

    Re: NOD32 is a rubbish software ?

    Short answer...., no.

    Longer answer...., whenever someone makes extravagant claims such as those mentioned, and there are a whole host of topics here and elsewhere of a similar flavor spanning specific products to hypothetic approaches of attack (say video card flash ROM based rootkits....), you really have to take a moment and perform a mental reality check. You do not have to be schooled in all the arcane details of the technology to arrive at a reasonable answer. The basic question to ask is "If this is true, and everybody else is wrong, why isn't the sky falling with these competing products being exploited and owned left and right?" It really is that simple. If, in fact, everyone else is wrong, business survival skills will kick in and they will quickly adapt. It's happened plenty of times before (say, as pure AV's started to cover trojans and malicious adware). This is the way commercial enterprise works.

    From a technical perspective, the claim is that specific products are vulnerable on an actively compromised machine. That's true of every product out there, it's only a question of what is the specific vulnerability that will bring down the product in question, has it been identified yet, and how easy is that vulnerability manipulated.
