I will never buy NOD32 again!!!

I'm disappointed with NOD32. Reasons:

Program has conflicts with other programs
Problems with component upgrade from 2.000.6 to 2.000.8
Virus detection is not good as other AV (poor detection of trojans, adware and programs that auto-dial pron sites). I use other AV at work and virus detection is much better. Most important reason, why I wiil never buy NOD32 again!!!!

NOD32's heuristic is the best, it detect proactively new virus/worms/trojans and malware in general. Is also the more quickly scanning and use less resources than most.
2.000.6 is a good stable version of NOD, ESET is currently testing the 9 for the release. NOD is also a easy to use product.

 

Hi,

is the some AV that uses less resources than NOD32?

I used Norton before Nod 32 and I had all kinds of problems with Norton.

I am satisfied with Nod 32.

It is one of many programs that I use for a layered protection of my computer.

 

Could not have been put better!

Best wishes, Iztokk

 

Its your right so choose whatever antivirus you want. I have no problem with it. But I do not understand why do you contributed to this forum.

Best regards and good luck with your antivirus.

 

You can't expect that an AV should detect adware and dialers and stuff. You should use Ad-Aware or Spybot Search & Destroy for that and you should also use an anti-trojan program for trojan detection.

An AV is for detecting viruses and if it detects the other stuff is just a bonus IMO.

 

Yep, and has been stated before, NOD32 is advertised as catching malware.......still listed on their website:
