I've been thinking of changing my antivirus, but what is NOD32 like?

When I tested the trial on my VPC, I let it run along with Avast. What got my attention and annoyed me to no end was when Avast went to update, NOD32 started screaming and flipping out saying the temp files (that Avast makes to update) were viruses.

Back to trying out avast. :love:

@Tarun - You should know better than to run two anti-virus programs at the same time... that only leads to troubles.

I do, it was on my VPC though and I found that it was fairly stupid of NOD32 to detect Avast's update as a possible virus.

I love NOD32.

Much better than avast, avast lagged my computer and interrupted with my firewall :\

Ooohh. Conflict. Avast is running brilliantly, thing is with NOD32 is the idea that it s a built-in real-time anti-spyware - which I just don't need.

Tarun, have you tried out the latest version?

Yeah, actually I did. It seems to be more of a paranoid program returning false positives (like the avast def downloader mentioned above) than anything.

I'll stick with Avast then.

NOD32 is good, but it has false positives + can't remove half of the things it detects.

Definitely leave it then.

I've never really used NOD32, but I heard from a computer literate friend of mine that it is really great, at least the old version.

I tried using NOD32 the last time. I am more than impress. However once my software went off of date, I decided not to renew and use Avast instead. Well, it is a good software, best of all it is free.
