#2 Posted by Amano on 30 Oct 2007 - 17:42: Great news! I was waiting for it.

#3 Posted by DJ Prem on 30 Oct 2007 - 18:10: Great news, but I hope existing v2 users get a free upgrade and not a discount upgrade cost

(2 replies) #5 Posted by ]SK[ on 30 Oct 2007 - 19:20: Im using Vista without a Virus scanner at the moment. I think I might have to go ahead and purchase the new NOD32 as it worked great in my XP days. Vista eats system resources, the last thing I need is a virus scanner eating whats left over. I just hope v3 lives upto its name as what v2.7 has in the past.

#6 Posted by Gabe3 on 30 Oct 2007 - 22:09: Cant wait till november 5th! I have been loving nod32 for 3 years now.

#7 Posted by jstillion on 30 Oct 2007 - 22:35: The beta security suit ran great in Vista and I didn't notice any major peformance hits like I've seen with Norton and Mcafee's suit.

(1 reply) #8 Posted by conan_2000 on 31 Oct 2007 - 04:42: I tried the beta while back on XP, crashed my computer as soon as the PC booted, luckily managed to disable it from start-up and revert back to 2.7. Hopefully the final version doesn't cause such problems, I've moved to Vista now so who knows!

#9 Posted by +BeLGaRaTh on 31 Oct 2007 - 09:18: Spoke to Customer Services in the UK just now, they advised that current licence holders would be upgraded FREE to version 3 of NOD32 and would receive a prompt when its released whether or not to upgrade. The rest of the suite will be offered "at a preferential price" but she didn't have any details as of yet as its not released until next week.

I have a year or two left on my NOD32 licence so I think I will definitely be upgrading it to the rest of the suite

#10 Posted by Large on 31 Oct 2007 - 11:22: NOD32 V3.0 is not available yet, I was told by Eset that it would be the 1st November and available on the resellers accounts on 5th November.

Also as far I'm aware NOD32 V2.7 users get a free upgrade to V3.0 and an upgrade price to go from NOD32 to Smart Security.

#11 Posted by th3rEsa on 31 Oct 2007 - 12:16: I like NOD32, it's got the best heuristic detection and doesn't consume all my RAM.

#12 Posted by DaViD_BRaNDoN on 31 Oct 2007 - 16:20: Finally! Any screenshots of the new NOD32 AntiVirus 3.0 user interface?

#13 Posted by Vettetech on 31 Oct 2007 - 21:47: Look in the forums.
