"This setting has no effect on security and stability updates"

 

And who wants ever stay on older & damaged versions?? Is that a new religion?

If the database is the same,if the eset nod32 is the same nd if changes only the sftware then when u dwnlod new database with nod32 v5 will be the same database of nd32 v 15 thi is sure

No, ancient databases not work with modern software. Because of that also no MS-DOS versions supported anymore.

And besides that modern browsers (after WW2) can also check & fix spelling errors...

The problem isnt the eset antivirus.. its all the other processes running.. and you stated you have 3gb and 2gb..

Eset doesnt use that much in memory and cpu usage.

Windows 7 with the default OS processes running of which at least halve of them dont need to be running and can be switched to either manual or disabled.

its Windows 7 thats eating your memory and processor power.. plus all of the programs you have running at startup.

Laptops have extra software running like the touchpad, wifi adapter, blue tooth etc on by default..

Windows 7 is also slow on low memory like 2gb and 3gb.. it prefers more memory..

I would suggest checking the size of your swap file. which should be 2.5times the amount of memory which of course would require that amount of free hdd space.

picture added to show how much CPU and memory Eset latest is using on my system which is at least 9years old.

you say it is a coincidence that a notebook and a netbook cn nod32 v5 were fast and with nod15 they became slow?

ok

Eset is light in recent av-tests but those tests are done using premium Windows 10/11 machines. Also comparing RAM usages alone is totally pointless. You need to test yourself or rely those who use old hardware. That's why I recommended Chinese av which is obviously very good, private and don't slow down your computer. Chinese use old hardware a lot and that's why Chinese devs provide extralight av's for them.

Erm... That is for sure not recommended.

Which link are you talking about? The repack? Here it works normally. What doesn't work is what blocks upgrade.exe. But I found another post of what appears to be the same batch file:

If it is not going to run in safe mode the batch file needs to be run as administrator. But I haven't tested it I don't know if it still works.

I found a good compromise (setting) of nod 15 but nod8 would be better now I'm doing the test then I'll let you know ... thanks

... and you can believe that you're safe for the next 100 years. 

Sure, it can download and read the databases. Tho that's already, nothing else. But believing is actually even more dangerous.

I find your comments that always repeat the same thing and your persanlissimo way of thinking useless

@helen the PUA (Potentially Unwanted Applications) + (Potentially Unsafe Applications) features on the Real-time protection component of NOD32 are the ones which hog maximum resources.

 

JFTR, I'm running the latest ESET Endpoint Antivirus (v9.0.2032.6.) with both forms of PUA duly disabled . . . my copy runs with a very light footprint & low chance of flagging false-positives.

 

Also, it's important to exclude your directories where all your keygens, patches, loaders and other such fixes are stored . . . keeps the Real-time scanner, from undue spiking.

Fact is that you're for sure already stuck 12+ years from XP era, while I live at present time. 

Anyway... Enjoy it and luckily it's not my problem at all.

If you have weak hardware and just want to know if an executable is safe to run do you need more than that? If the person is a layman and clicks on everything they see on the web I agree with you throw away your old machine and buy a new one capable of running an antivirus that is baby proof using the web  other than that your comments don't help much, she won't change her laptop because of an antivirus.
