Using NOD32 smart security business

[Mo Husen]

Check out the results at AV Comparatives - I neither subscribe/agree/disagree/ to the views expressed by them nor do I advocate the same to anyone else:-

Thank you all for your comments.

The above chart shows both Avira & ESET AV to be as good as each other.

I have used Comodo Firewall only before -it was good.

However, I prefer to use AIO Security Suite rather than individual packages since I have found from experience that a Suite uses less resources overall.

Hence my question re best Security Suite between the three I mentioned or any other for that matter.

[Donaldo]

You should add the False positives chart as well... Which clearly shows, if I recall correctly, that ESET has less than Avira. Also ESET is much more/better configurable than Avira.

The AV-Comparatives Publishers have proclaimed Avira The AV Product Of The Year 2008 - which implies that they've made this judgment after taking the 'false positives' into consideration.

As far as I'm concerned their verdict doesn't excite me to the point of replacing my NOD32 (V2) with Avira.

Actually, my reply was directed to Bizarre™ - not to you. I was casually following the link that he had posted (innocently believing that ESET had been declared the winner.) It was only on closer inspection that I just happened to notice that the verdict was actually in favor of Avira and not ESET as The AV Product Of The Year 2008.

One thing I can confirm: Avira has many false alarm compare to Nod32.

Been using these 2 on different computer for months now, still prefer Nod32.

yea me to...i tried symantec....biggest piece of crap software out there.... resource hog and just try to uninstall it...wow what a headache doing that. not so bad since symantec put that uninstall utility on their website but a lot of people did not know about it as they kept it a semi secret so as not let people think their software had big uninstall issues

Guys, end of the day it's we - the ultimate 'warez' prowlers that decide the best software for ourselves, not laboratory blokes like AV Comparatives & Co.

BTW, V4 is all set to kick ass whenever ESET sets it loose on Avira & Co.

Just wondering, if version 3 is good, why suddenly a version 4 within a year.

Version 3 was launch near the end of last year, right? <_<

I remember Nod32 v2 was around for a few years.

Is Eset trying to come up with a 'hack proof' version??? :mellow:

Cause Nodlogin and NodEnabler does not work in version 4. (Yet), don't know about the trial version though.:wacko:

I don't believe 'hack proof' software exists...

Shhhh - if one of those ESET f*****s is stalking this Board, they'll deprive me of my trusty V2. <_<

[Mo Husen]

Has anyone tried AIO Comodo Internet Security Suite or read any reviews about it's performance ?

[jonahlomu]

I'm having problems updating nod32 with marsufix....It asks user name and psw,

what's happening?

[Bizarre™]

@Mo Husen: I can vouch for CIS' firewall, but not the AV... it has yet to come to maturity :)

What make you think they are not already here :tease:

One of my comp has been using v2 for years, since nsane fix and now Nodlogin. Working exceptionally well all the time! ;)

[Bizarre™]

ESET's just playing hide & seek LoLz :rolleyes:

Bizarre™

Thanks for your recommendation, is it a freebie like Comodo

[Bizarre™]

@Mo Husen: Absolutely ;)

[Mo Husen]

@Mo Husen: Absolutely ;)

Then that's one more to choose from, though comodo firewall is very good, I have used it in the past. the only question mark is against it's anti-virus prog which is newish.

I prefer AIO security suite, generally imo they use less resources in total.

@Mo Husen: If you wait longer for CIS' AV it will eventually come to fruition... but for now, stick to COMODO + ESET combo :rolleyes:

OK, thanks,

but I am a bit confused about which cure to use for ESET anti-virus, having read the forum. Some say one of the cure no longer works, others say it does.

Which version of ESET av & which cure do you recommend I use

My o/s is XP Pro with sp-3
