    I hear that the long awaited 3.0 Security Suite will be available as a public beta on April 2nd.

    Question - if we are currently using NOD32, would we have to uninstall it before installing the Security Suite beta?

    I would suggest that is a very wise thing to do.

    Cheers :D

    Although I have no information , I think we'll have to uninstall NOD32 since they are different products.Moreover ESET Smart Security will most likely install without needing to reboot , NOD32 wants rebooting . And if ESET Smart Security is installed over NOD32 , it will this time need reboot to remove NOD completely , even though it generally doesn't need restarting :)

    Will do. I figured that maybe the security suite would recognize current NOD32 module and use that one instead of the suite's version.

    When Beta testing the best approach is to uninstall / reinstall. That applies to released versus Beta, and changing Beta versions. It is a Beta release, so assume there may be conflicts and unexpected problems - we hope not, but in the end testing anything should be as 'clean' as possible, which means taking version conflicts out of the equation from the start.

    P.S I can't wait to get my hands on this Beta... :)

    Yes , you'll have to wait until the final version is released until there are some prices available :)

    Well pricing to me doesnt matter, if they bring to the table what they are capable of. So, the clock is running, and I wish them well. I am sure it is going to be impressive.:cool:

    :D Maybe the installer would give you a chance to reserve/update the old version and take it over.

    Any clues as to the added modules besides the obvious firewall? ....will it include a HIPS, or does NOD's already excellent heuristics engine preclude the need for a HIPS? :doubt:

    Mod: If this is OT, please move...

    You guys are formatting in order to install a new Nodo_O?? There must be something weird going on here at Wilders. Everybody gets all hot and bothered as there's going to be a new beta of a virus scanner........!! I have never seen such bull, but maybe it's just me not understanding such crazy infantile behaviour.
    I really hope you all get hit with the worst virus ever in the meantime! Man Oh man.....grow up!

    Hey man, we have been holding a "coming out" party all night waiting on the suite. We closed down the streets, everyone got the day off from work. I am so nervous I have been awake for 2 days. Man, how can you not be excited.:rolleyes:

    I've heard this so many times before when people didn't see the need for an antivirus program.

    I haven't caught anything with KAV for over 4 years on one of my computers, so I don't think it is that unusual if you know what you are doing. Also never reformatted, and runs as fast as when it was new.

    I mean, it's not wise to use your pc without any AV, unless you unplug from the internet.
