- I had used Norton for 5 years before trying NOD. I began my trial just a few days before Nimda was unleashed. NOD32 stopped Nimda without new dat files while Norton let it pass on my other box.. That was enough for me, been using it ever since. NOD may not be a well known name, but its very very fast, and doesn't suck your resources down like so many other virus scanners and hasn't missed a single
in the wild virus since its release. What other company can claim that?
Try it, you won't be sorry.

- I've been using NOD since XP was in "release candidate" stage......AVG was what I used before that, and wasn't compatible yet.
I haven't used anything since. This is how I tell people how good NOD is......you don't even know it's there! Unlike the bloatware from Norton/McAfee (to me both are the same), Nod32 just works......dosen't suck up your resources, plays nice with anything I've thrown at it.
It should be Nods slogan....... "Nod32, it just works"
Among the many improvements to NOD32 Version 2.0—actually the fourth generation of Eset’s original NOD32 technology—are the following:
Microsoft has been increasing its share in the handheld OS market, recently signing on major manufacturers such as Dell Computer as hardware partners. More than 30 manufacturers currently use various versions of the Pocket PC operating system in handhelds. The software giant remains the No. 2 player in the market, behind Palm.
The handheld market has seen shipments slide over the last couple of quarters, partly as a result of major player Handspring shifting its focus from handhelds to combination organizer-cell phone devices. But other big names such as Dell and Toshiba, which both use the Pocket PC OS in their devices, are slowly filling the void, according to data from research firm IDC.
In the first quarter, Dell shot up to the No. 4 spot, with 6.5 percent of worldwide shipments, from No. 11, and Toshiba picked up 3.6 percent of the market. Toshiba managed to increase shipments 306 percent in the first quarter from the same period a year ago. Handspring fell in the No. 7 spot, with 2.9 percent.
Magneto, the next version of Microsoft's Pocket PC OS, is expected to include improved phone features, such as more intuitive dialing capabilities, and will likely be more flexible so that it can be used in a wider variety of devices such as appliances.
