nod32 doesnt pick up viruses

I have recently purchased nod32 .
I use Xoftspy to scan each morning and it has picked up
three infections, later I ran nod32 to try and pick them up
and it has not picked up anything !
Troj_dlowd.A
W32 Chainsaw worm
W32 Coflop.mm
I am very concerned as Nod is supposed to be excellent
at detecting trojans and worms, can anyone advise me
as to why ?
thanks

 

Hi sundai.

Welcome to Wilders.

U may want to take a look here,

Seems Xoftspy might not be the most reputable security app.

It's also on the rogue list,

Hi Sundai, welcome to Wilders, you may not be aware, there is a thread here for tweaking up Nod32: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=37509

Hope this helps...

Thanks Snowbound for the info, I was beginning to wonder
how come Xoftspy was finding the same virus each morning
after it supposedly deleted it the day before, I must say I am
peeved as this program was recommended by sites that review
software.
Can you recommend a good and reputable spyware program
that I can use?
I now assume the virus I have is not real as nod32 doesnt
pick up anything.


Blackspear.. thanks for the link to the tweeking, I followed
all the instructions.
There isnt any info for the Nod 32 System setup tab, what
needs to be selected there or does this not matter ?

thanks again

 

There is a link here to confirm that your system is clean: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=47830 at the end of this thread you will find further links to discussions on securing your computer and what people use…

I’m not too certain as to where exactly you mean, can you throw up a screen shot…

Hope this helps…

Cheers

 

Good to see

What you are seeing is just your "overall" setup of Nod32, I tend to leave this area alone...

Hope this help...
