Question re: NOD32

i want to try nod32, but i have some question:

- hows the nod32 compatability with vista, anybody experience bsod?
- what's the best firewall combination with nod32?
- currently im using pccillin IS 2007, anybody knows what's the difference of two (except pccillin c/w firewall)
- advises before trying nod32....

 

Works brilliant , no problems , max protection.

NOD32 works with any firewall you wish . I would recommend you use Windows Firewall.

NOD32 is lighter , faster and with better detection . NOD32 have one of the best (if not the best) heuristic technologies to find new unknown viruses/malware.More here

Make sure you have removed all previous AVs .
Download trial version from Trial version

 

thanks h-tech boy.

anybody knows how can i "totally" remove my previous AV (Pccillin, Ksapersky) aside from unisntallation.

i have superantispyware and spywarebuster installed, do i need to turn off this 2 software before installing nod32?

SAS pro+SB+nod33, hows the combination of this 3?

thanks guys!

 

You are welcome !

Kaspersky will be completely removed by uninstallion.
PCCilin , too , but Trend Micro might have problems , should there is a need , download Trend Micro's removal tool

No.

You also need a firewall.

 

FCE,

I hope I can be of some help here. I would suggest doing the following:

1. Download Tune-Up Utilities Trial Edition, CCleaner, and NOD32 trial.
2. Turn off your internet connection when these files are downloaded.
3. Uninstall your old antivirus solution, then reboot your computer.
4. Install and run CCleaner (both the Cleaner and Issues modules), then install and run Tune-Up Utilities 2007 Trial (the Registry Cleaner module). Reboot your machine. All old registry entries should now be gone.
5. Disable your antispyware software and turn your internet connection back on. Do not open a web browser! You can leave these programs on during installation, I turn them off to totally minimize any conflicts from occuring.
6. Install the NOD32 trial and follow the directions. Reboot when finished.
7. When your computer has finished booting, make sure your antispyware programs have started back up. Happy computing!

I hope that helps. You might want to uninstall Tune-Up Utilities when this is over, but you've got 30 days to make use of it. I recommend keeping CCleaner around as it is fast, free, small, and very effective at keeping your system sparkling.

 

thanks for your suggestion.

btw, what is the purpose of CCLeaner and Tune up utilities? is this for my existing AV only?

 

CCleaner and Tune-Up utilities will remove any old registry entries left over after you uninstall your old AV. They will also clean up any mess from any other software you've ever uninstalled. I've found my systems to be a lot more responsive when I use these two programs after I do a lot of file movement, program installation/uninstallation, and other various system activities.

Both programs also have effective and easy registry backup, so you can go back if you don't like a change.

 

thanks again!

are you using NOD32? whats your firewall or whats the best firewall compatible to nod32 (except windows firewall)?

 

ok.

i do system restore once in my computer when i have problem with HIPS program thats cause blue screen error (?). any effect or problem if i used this cclean and tune up.

 

Several NOD32 users find Comodo to be a good, free firewall selection.

 

I don't think Comodo has a Vista version yet unless if there is a beta out there.

 

i installed NOD32 and run in-depth analysis.

i noticed theres log "Error occured while scanning active boot sector of the 1. physical disk. Error reading sector"

NOD32.EXE: Status OK

Operating memory is OK.

- anybody knows whats that error?

- aside from comodo firewall (which is not yet Vista ready), anybody can suggest good personal firewall that work with NOD32?

i can't find the information for error message "Error occured while scanning active boot sector of the 1. physical disk. Error reading sector"

i copy this from event log, whats does it means?

i got this log after i follow "extra setting for nod32 v2.7" thread and installed jetico firewall.

 

Hi again !

Yes , I use NOD32 on all my computers.

I use Windows Firewall only.

If you want an all in one product , why don't you try ESET Smart Security - the next generation . It includes the NOD32 improved engine , firewall and anti-spam protection.

Of course Hitech_boy uses NOD32, he is a reseller and it is his duty and livelihood to promote NOD32 and defend it to the end

Try ESS if you want an all in one security suite, but IMO its good enough using a good free firewall with NOD32.

 

So what's the problem ?!

 

Nothing. If there was a problem, there wouldn't be a smile at the end of that message (instead there would be a rolling eyes symbol)

 

bump....

 

I've had this error in the past, but it never affected the functionality of NOD32. Automatic updates worked as normal, so don't worry about this.
