hey you N.O.D boyz

Ok time to check in with you guys

Maybe you guys have change things its been awhile so im hopeing things changed

im ask a qustion and i would aprechiate a straight answer no pc jabering no run arounds and no explations that would lead me to belive its a good thing in your faveor

just yes or no no explanations with yes or no answer

and in layman term yes or no

here goes lets see if you can answer lol

Does Nod now get along with haveeing another antiviruse programe on same pc

explanation most people like me like haveing a back up

one as a resident and one as back up

2 antiviruse

so yes it works or no nod has to be the only one or

none of that disableing jargein run only nod just yes or no

 

You can run ANY number of anti-virus applications at the same time, as long as only one of them is used in real time. Sometimes you have to take extra measures to disable the backup scanners. See my post in this thread.

The problem with NOD32 is that you can't use it as a backup scanner. (Or, if you can, someone please tell me how you can (easily!) update its signatures without keeping it running full-time.)

 

Well then either Dr. Web is hard-coded to look for other AVs and complain about it, or those users didn't completely disable those other AVs. There is no way they can conflict if absolutely no part of the backup scanners reside in memory or have filter drivers in use.

Yes, then I was right. By "can't use it as a backup scanner", I of course meant without going through a ridiculous amount of hassle.

 

I find this to be a "hit or miss" thing that depends on the unique software mix and individual system. McAfee, NAV, and Panda are examples of other quite "jealous" AVs that usually don't like a rival AV horning in on "their" PC .. like a jealous lover scorned, they may give you a cold-shoulder and bluescreen-of-death for your unfaithful disloyalty and transgressions in bringing in a rival AV {{~Grinz~}}.

 

lol what randy said lol


okmaybe i should had put it this way

does nod now get along with norton most common antiviruse yes or no lol

maybe dr web have probs but maybe people had better experince with nav

 

To reiterate what others have said, yes, NOD generally gets along as long as ONLY ONE on access scanner is set up. If two or more are set to scan in "real time," then you will most likely have problems. Many people use a dual AV approach, but one is used as an "on demand" scanner, while the other product is used as the "on access" or "realtime" scanner.

The problem with multiple AV realtime scanners is that both programs want to load at a very low level in the OS, and then want exclusive access to the files as they are opened. When they fight over it, you'll know, usually in a bad way...

 

Hello,
Here I've NOD as on access, KAV, Dr.Web, McAfee and F-Prot without problems.

 

I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF NORTON AND NOD GET ALONG ACTIVE BOTH SAME TIME

WITH THAT COMBO IT WOULD BE NICE

IM RUNINING FULLY UPDATED XP HOME?

YES OR NO LOL

 

Both active as in resident? I would not recommend it.

I do have NAV (2003) resident and NOD as backup.
Both do scan my mail. That is about as good as it gets.
I use XP Pro.

Regards,

Pieter

 

I agree with Pieter. I have NAV 2004 resident on this box, with BitDefender 7.2 as manual backup scanner. I have NAV 2002 resident on my son's box, with KAV 3.5 as manual on-demand backup. I do not recommend doing otherwise; the only scanner that I have heard of {by secondhand knowledge} to successfully run resident alongside NAV was AVG, but I would have to see it to believe it myself. Usually it is not a good idea, you are asking for bluescreen disaster to run two AVs resident at the same time. Good Luck Blaze!

 

Even this would only work when I installed NAV first.
When you try the other way around NAV will complain there already is an AV installed and demand you remove that first.

Regards,

Pieter

 

ok so basicly buy nav 2004 insatall it first

then install nod but on;y use it for manual scans right?

 

You got the picture. That is what I would advise.
The custom install is pretty easy (newb friendly) and you can get your email scanned with NOD's (almost famous) heuristics.

Regards,

Pieter

 

Running Nod32 and NAV 2004 both resident on XP Pro SP2.

I have not encountered problems.

But I ditched nav after running this combo for a day has NAV has a tendency to eat 20% ressources and slow performance of the system by 9%

So NOD32 and F-Prot 3.14D are now resident active again

 

Mr. Blaze from my experience you must install the other AV 1st, let it update and get itself squared away and then install NOD, if you are going to use NOD as the back up scanner DO NOT install IMON, it changes a few LSPs that MAY break the other AV, of course if you are going to use the other AV as the back up this is irrelevant.
