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.

Hello,

Are you running the 3.0.621.0 build? It seems to fix a few of the usability issues from previous versions.

Regards,

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.

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.

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
    • Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.
    • +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
    • so the people who bought this will get a refund?
