Sure, if you are willing to trust security software funded by the russian government
And the performance is great,
NOD's transparent until it strikes
the poor, unsuspecting virii. ;p

It's viruses, not virii.
Because of that, I didn't keep the trial going long enough to see if it actually provided good protection.

Actually 21mb of virtual memory usage is monstrous. Its time you upgraded that 32mb ram you have

For those interested, Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0.1.410 beta for XP x64/2003/Vista lives here...ftp://kav2006:Fynb02dbhec60@data.kaspersky.com/../../
Mainly during weekends there's no update for a couple of days...
I've tried Bit Defender before and thought that the program sucked ass horribly. The program would bring my system to a crawl sometimes. It got to the point where I had to uninstall it because it was using too many resources, and it was ALWAYS scanning everything (you can see the little transparent activity window spike constantly when nothing is even going on). So right now I'm using Kaspersky on my XP install. Since NOD32 supports Vista now, I might get it a try since I've been hearing so many good things about it.
The interface is odd, but put it in silent updates mode and you'll never know it is there until something wicked this way comes.
Thanks
Even though I can't decipher your post, just your mention of Avast would indicate you are recommending that. And while Avast is better than AVG (crap) and free, it's not in the same league as NOD32...period.
However, I think Symantec sucks because of their resource usage.
That and Symantec does not seem to detect keyloggers
That really makes me trust Symantec, free and open source apps detect stuff that Symantec (a pay app) cannot!!
Alister
Its just too expensive for me or users I help
my sercurity window tells me that it is out of date?
