0 1Frothy Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I've been very impressed with NOD32 Version 3.0.621.0 (Y) Top Product. Worth the license fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 qdave Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 i love the NOD32..especially 3.x version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 theyarecomingforyou Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 NOD32, though I have to say that version 3.0 isn't very good. Popups keep appearing, even after disabling them, and it started messing about with web access the other day as well. Certainly nowhere near as polished as 2.7, though the interface is much nicer. I don't know whether it's a 64bit Vista issue. Also, when installing it last (from the official site) it gave me an error message in a random language (Polish?), which was quite weird.

0 goretsky Supervisor Posted January 15, 2008 Supervisor Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hello, Are you running the 3.0.621.0 build? It seems to fix a few of the usability issues from previous versions. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky NOD32, though I have to say that version 3.0 isn't very good. Popups keep appearing, even after disabling them, and it started messing about with web access the other day as well. Certainly nowhere near as polished as 2.7, though the interface is much nicer. I don't know whether it's a 64bit Vista issue. Also, when installing it last (from the official site) it gave me an error message in a random language (Polish?), which was quite weird.

0 rvbfan Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 +2 for KAV . Not a big fan of KIS for some reason. I guess I just prefer not to have all my eggs (security wise) in one basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 petralian Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 NOD32 also for me, it uses nearly no system resources, updates like 2-4 times per day and works great. Best choice for anyone that needs system resources ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 chevyordeath Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 NOD32 again. Been using for a couple years now. Actually I recently upgraded to their new program, ESET Smart Security. My license was up for re-newal and I noticed on their website they had info on their new product, I took a look at it and decided to purchase. Basically it is their great anti-virus NOD32 and also anti spyware and a firewall. I have been liking it so far, runs good on my 32bit Vista system. Also bought a 2 year license for my folks' computer as a Christmas present and it's been working well for them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 +Warwagon MVC Posted January 17, 2008 MVC Share Posted January 17, 2008 Kaspersky (Y) too. FTW!I do like NOD32 but heard purchase support here is very bad. I couldn't disagree more. I've had to call them twice. Each time I got through instantly without waiting on hold and they had the problem cleared up in minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
