NOD32 super noob

hi to all!!!

1, i'm really new to nod32 as well as LNS firewall, do they work well together?

2, i read about the special settings here for nod32 i.e Black spear etc...
what if i use the default settings, will i be vulnerable?

3, can anybody pls explain what AMON,DMON,EMON,IMON means and what are the functions?

sorry for not knowing that much and thanks for bearing with a noob like me...

 

I am not sure because I have never heard about this LNS firewall . Since it is not so known and famous , use more popular one and better one such as ZoneAlarm free or Windows Firewall

No , but it is recommended for MAXIMUM protection

AMON -> Access Monitor
DMON -> Document Monitor
EMON -> Email Monitor
IMON -> Internet Monitor

AMON is the most important it scans everything on access , on create and on execute
DMON scans Microsoft Office Documents
EMON scans Microsoft Outlook / Outlook Express messages
IMON scans all your mail and internet traffic , ports 100,80,8080,3128 and any other you wish(type)

DMON,EMON and IMON are AMON helpers

Thank you so much for the reply...

LNS= LooknStop firewall, i'm also doing the trial for it as well as nod32, heard of any issues between the 2?

so does that mean i should use special settings? bec i heard that NOB32 was the best, and despite the defaults i can be assured of safety.

uhmmm... EMON, is it needed if i use web based email, i.e YAHOOMAIL?
should i disable?

once again thanks alot for the help

 

No , as I said , I have never heard that firewall and I recommend you use the best one - Zone Alarm , free

Yes , NOD32 is the best . Blackspear's posts tells you how to switch NOD32 for maximum protection but it doesn't mean you are not protected with the default settings , just the Blackspear's are much better ...

I also use web-based mail . But my EMON is on . No problem to be ON , it doesn't hurt nor it makes it slower . NOD32 is much different from Norton

No , problem , you are welcome . I suggest you first visit ESET's site and learn as much as possible for NOD32

 

No, and you can find a Tutorial HERE

It is not so much as special settings as it is tweaking and having NOD32 quarantine for safety if it cleans or deletes, as well automating NOD32.

I never disable, as the day you decide to use it will be the day you forget to turn it back on.

Cheers

 

I saw the tutorial . This firewall seems good but it is not appropriate for newbies , I think

 

Once installed it is pretty much set and forget, like NOD32.

Cheers

 

Thank for the reply .

 

My pleasure, and for the record I have hundreds of customers using ZA Free, every now and then a version update has a major hiccup, but other than that it is a simple and effective piece of software, and my comments ONLY refer to the FREE version, I'm not impressed with the Pro version at all.

Cheers

 

blackspear and hitech_boy, thanks!!! you've both been so much help.

i'm gonna follow your tweaks for nod32 then configure looknstop...

then i'm gonna have fun over at pcflank and leaktest


THANK YOU!!!!

 

Sure it is....all Program Support Forums @ Wilders are known and famous....how do you think we got the Nod32 Forum or the Official LooknStop Firewall Forum

You need to get out more often

 

Sure
