Phishing scams etc work brilliantly, but with the large customer base who happily open "Invoice from UPS" and other things, add in the defence that NOD32 provides by alerting you to phishing / scamming sites (Even on its basic Antivirus suite) and it's worth having, and I find myself alerted occasionally to sites that are infected / bad sites from NOD32. I'm no fool, and I'd consider myself an experienced user, but it's still picked up a few things.

1261108 2012-02-26 03:11:00 If I am not expecting an email from any company and I get one, then I will assume it's a scam unless proven otherwise.

Most can be proven fake very easily because they either refer to a bank or other company I have never had dealings with, or have blatantly obvious fake URLs.

Anything I might be unsure about (Which is yet to happen) I will call the company and ask them myself.

1261109 2012-02-26 23:36:00 Anybody else see the latest PCW?

Apparently Nortons is 2nd on the list again, whereas NOD32 manages to score a lowly 7th.



Probhably because NOD has abysmal spyware/malware detection. Allways has been rather poor in this area.
No excuse given they claim to detect 'spyware' , yet is worse than free spyware scanners (Mbytes)

It was a big disappointment the no of infections getting through after we rolled NOD out to many of our customers.

1261110 2012-02-27 08:47:00 Yeah that's a good point, though I can't see Nortons scoring higher personally :-/ Chilling_Silence (9)
1261111 2012-02-27 08:59:00 What all in one app is as good as MalwareBytes at detecting spyware? All the big names are useless & usually slow to boot. Greven (91)
1261112 2012-02-27 10:41:00 I don't think there are any. You really do need a separate AV and Anti-spyware in my opinion. Agent_24 (57)
1261113 2012-02-27 18:35:00 Yeah I'll second that... Chilling_Silence (9)
