Ultimate Predator Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I've been thinking of changing my antivirus, but what is NOD32 like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted November 22, 2006 Administrator Share Posted November 22, 2006 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.

Ultimate Predator Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Back to trying out avast. :love: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 @Tarun - You should know better than to run two anti-virus programs at the same time... that only leads to troubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haze Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I love NOD32. Much better than avast, avast lagged my computer and interrupted with my firewall :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 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?

Administrator Tarun Posted November 27, 2006 Administrator Share Posted November 27, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 I'll stick with Avast then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphirer Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 NOD32 is good, but it has false positives + can't remove half of the things it detects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Definitely leave it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xd3vilx Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 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.
