November 22, 200618 yr Administrator 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.
November 24, 200618 yr @Tarun - You should know better than to run two anti-virus programs at the same time... that only leads to troubles.
November 25, 200618 yr Administrator @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.
November 27, 200618 yr I love NOD32. Much better than avast, avast lagged my computer and interrupted with my firewall :\
November 27, 200618 yr Author 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?
November 27, 200618 yr Administrator 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.
November 28, 200618 yr NOD32 is good, but it has false positives + can't remove half of the things it detects.
December 20, 200618 yr 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.
January 1, 200718 yr 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.
