http://www.nod32usa.com/nod32-updates/updates/l1188.html
NOD32 antivirus system information:
Virus signature database version: 1.1392 (20060202)
Dated: Thursday, February 02, 2006
Virus signature database build: 6721
Threats added to NOD32 Threat Database: 7684
GOD Knows Where They Found Those Signatures

 

On their last large update TDS was discontinued... lets say who is now

 

What The Hell Is TDS

 

Trojan Defense Suit

 

7684 threats added? NICE WORK

 

They get the samples via ThreatSense, or by exploring the Internet and getting all kinds of suspicious files and analysing the same, and by inputs from their resellers and partners, some of the partners actively search the net for malware. They even exchange samples with other Anti-Virus companies.

 

So that's like 14,000 added in the last couple of days..............what's the big rush all of a sudden?

 

...or by inspecting my wifes laptop

 

She's not using NOD32 ? Teh horror!

Happy Bytes, how big was this update in KB ? I wasn't there when NOD32 updated, but i'm still curious

 

We can't afford a second license
Seriously, there's NOD installed (and she assumes it's working ) but i use this laptop basically with her help as some kind of "honeypot"

Another Update like 1.1392 planned ? Maybe for the 1.1393 ?

and now ?

 

These kissing smilies are usually reserved for my postings

 

Why ask why? This is a good thing, no?

 

ZZZzzactly!

 

Why ask why?

Makes me wonder how well I've been protected in the last few months if they decided to add 14,000 signatures in the course of three days time.

That's why I ask.

 

Is your pc acting funny? You might want to run some online malware scans at reputable sites.

Maybe the ESET people found a lot of variants of several different viruses? That would be my uneducated guess.

 

That's my list of online scanners, trying to keep it updated: http://nod32sse.hotserv.dk/scanners.php

 

If my pc is acting funny then I suppose everyone else that runs NOD is acting funny too.

 

Mine is running as smooth as always.. why though?

 

My pc is not acting funny.

Elwood implied that my pc was acting funny and I was simply stating that if mine was then so were all the other NOD users who didn't have the 14,000 signatures that were updated.

 

I just don't understand. When they release BIG signature update it is bad because we hadn't been protected before this update... When they release only small updates then people say it is not good because others AV release bigger updates.. People, decide what you really want.
