paulfr Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) When my new laptop drive was installed in front of me on the counter at FortuneTown [small shop, far back right side of 3rd floor to the right of Bangkok Bank Office] , he added some SW for me one of which was NOD32 antivirus. I have never heard of it. The guy said ... 'dii maak'. Anyone have any experience with this SW ? Comments appreciated.

monty Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Probably one of the best anti virus packages around! Only problem I had with it was it kept on flagging some things as virusses, although they were not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tominbkk Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) I follow sloan's advice and use Avira Antivir. Finally had to take AVG off as it was not downloading the updates any more. so far I like Antivir. clean and non-obtrusive.... http://www.free-av.com/ Whenever possible I use freeware - when I can't I get it free anyway Edited April 13, 2007 by tominbkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I use nod32 exclusively on my Windows machines. It's ultra light on resources, and it's detection rates are among the top 3 (along with Antivir). I would say it's the best overall AV in the world at the present time.

Mighty Mouse Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Nod32 seems to be always in the top two for virus detection ratings but from what I have read, it is a bugger to remove from your system. Again, from what I have read, the uninstall feature leaves more files behind that does Nortons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Many AVs are like that now because otherwise they are easy for malware to turn off or uninstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paveet Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 NOD32's my top choice for all the computers on the network! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 NOD32's my top choice for all the computers on the network! Do you run it on any Linux or BSD machines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 When I did my search for a good anti virus I shied away from Nod32 because of this; "The numerous configuration and scheduling options may prove confusing for all but expert users". My ideal system is one that I can install and forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 It was installed on a laptop I bought for grandchild and so easy and effective, and cdnvic talking it up, I bought 3 year subscription for two other computers. Very happy with it and there is nothing that needs to be set or attended - it updates multi times a day (you will want to turn splash screen off) and when if finds something new will prompt you to mail it to them for exam. In the five or six months I have been using have been impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
click2delete Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 NOD32 also detects, cleans, and protects against Spyware. I'm curious why no one has mentioned this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Because a good antispyware program does it better. Antivirus programs can all detect spyware to a greater or lesser degree but that's not their focus and they should never be depended on for total spyware protection.

sensei Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I use nod32 exclusively on my Windows machines. It's ultra light on resources, and it's detection rates are among the top 3 (along with Antivir). I would say it's the best overall AV in the world at the present time. I have been using NOD32 for quite some time now, and I have to say that it has been ong its job really well. I used to have AVG but CDNVIC had convinced me enough to totally uninstall it and use NOD32 instead. Thanks cdnvic for sharing that AV report. I now use NOD32 but I still have AVG Anti-spyware 7.5, which is not AVG's original. They just bougt this one from somewhere so they could boast of a good spyware.

cdnvic Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I must admit that Ewido makes a great antispyware which AVG now owns. Hopefully some good Ewido know-how will help AVG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
