NOD32 virus database

Hi,

How can I know how many viruses there are in NOD32 virus database?
Is it displayed anywhere?

Thanks

 

To avoid repeating the same, please have a look at the following thread:

Thanks...

I was afraid because I read somewhere NOD32 is good for heuristic but bad for signatures. On this website I read it only knows about 4000 virus (other antivirus know about 60000)

 

Don't be afraid. These are only the recent addiction to the virus scan strings. Nod32 datasbeses covers around 60000 not mentioned string more....

 

but other anti virus like kaspersky can detect more than 80000 viruses

I think ESET still is better than Kaspersky at least according to VB

 

Hi,
Also nod's heuristic is better than kav's heuristic.

 

but 6 months before my computer was affected by some virus i done no the name of the virus properly only kaspersky detected that virus.

 

I've tried both Nod32 and KAV and both have their strengths:-
Nod:- faster uses less system resources
KAV:-better protection against more threats(trojans included!)and far better scanning of comressed files.
The choice is simple:- if you want the BEST protection and aren't too concerned with scan speeds and the hit on system resources,choose KAV
If you want good protection and speed combined with a low hit on system resources choose Nod

 

i dont care about resources and memory . i need a good protection agianst viruses,worms and trojan which kaspersky gives me
