The other Av's were Norton, Trend and Avast And in your Opinion what is the best and why? Old story -- make a comment can you back it up - or is it all hot air ?	wainuitech (129)
1209597	2011-06-16 06:25:00	Yeah damn straight. If you were looking at buying a car, you'd found a Corolla you like and you'd shown your husband, then he said "That car sucks", surely you would want to know why. Making a statement like "Nod32 sucks" and not backing it up with any evidence or reason whatsoever is just bull, joking or not. I normally wouldn't care, but I wouldn't want someone to read your ramblings and not buy Nod because of something you said.	wratterus (105)
1209598	2011-06-17 02:56:00	Just found another bug with the RC. for some crazy reason I couldn't browse into modems and routers yesterday and today. Got access denied, like the browser was trying to force a password. Double and triple checked, tried IE, same thing. Removed Nod RC, problem gone. I have no idea at all how Nod managed to do that... back to v4. :p	wratterus (105)
1209599	2011-06-17 03:30:00	Just tried mine, straight into the Telstra modem, as well as the router,once I could remember the password :o By any chance is the password box like the one in the attachment ? If so go into the settings, and disable parental control.	wainuitech (129)
1209600	2011-06-17 03:44:00	Nope, nothing like that. I'll explain in a little more detail. :p On the routers that I had already browsed into previous to installing the RC, I was able to get into those, but I didn't have to enter the username and password, even though I cleared out the saved password details from firefox. I wasn't able to log into a new router I was trying to configure - it was like some incorrect router login details were being forced to be used, but there was no way to change those details. This was with a bunch of different IP addresses and ranges too. Removed Nod RC and it suddenly started working again. Real odd.	wratterus (105)
1209601	2011-06-17 04:02:00	.... but how about honestly answering the question I put: "explain this then, why did three other AV's miss trojans that Nod32 found ???" NOD32 is no-where near being the wonder scanner implied by many Many of our customers use it, yet it fails to pickup malware that free scanners easily detect. How can I justify telling customers to pay for NOD over the free AV's. I am frequently cleaning up infected PC's that have up NOD32 installed & up to date. Saying NOD doesnt detect spyware & use a 2nd scanner for spyware is no excuse. It is sold as being AV + antispyware. Good points: its stable, easy to setup/remove, doesnt bog down lower spec PC's, very easy to install on servers/domains, the remote admin actually works very well. All that said, no AV will protect from user stupidity.	sroby (11519)
1209602	2011-06-17 04:03:00	Might be reading that wrong, but were the IP address ranges different, for example on your router they may be 192.168.1.1 where as the others may be 192.168.0. ? etc. I know I couldn't connect top one server till I entered in the full range to allow - eg:192.168.1.1 to 192.168.254. On my laptop its got rtanges for every thing :) Other wise send in a bug report.	wainuitech (129)
1209603	2011-06-17 04:14:00	@ sroby - who's to say Norton, for example, is any better? Just today NOD32 removed one of those annoying 'you have all these virus on your drive hard, buy me for a million yen and I will fix you' bits of malware. I've seen norton many times not even know that kind of stuff is on the Pc See the attached pics... Wainui - this was the standard AV, not Smart Security.	wratterus (105)
1209604	2011-06-17 04:27:00	Wainui - this was the standard AV, not Smart Security. Well that stuffed that idea then :p What you mentioned re Scoby -- Can confirm that, NO antivirus is perfect, and thats why so many people get infections. Its really a case of what will protect you more. I can honestly say that over the last 8 years I have been dealing with Nod32, only twice have I seen a pc with infections. You have to have seperate antimalware these days, its damn stupid to depend on one product. As for Norton -- well its NO WHERE as good as all teh reports and lab tests state. Scoby: All that said, no AV will protect from user stupidity. Very true :thumbs: It is sold as being AV + antispyware. So is every other AV producty these days.	wainuitech (129)
1209605	2011-06-17 04:39:00	I've managed to find me a copy of XP Home AntiSpyware 2012. These new versions are very clever, they don't hide in the Startup, but they make themselves the 'launcher' for .exe files, and specifically for Internet Explorer. Means that you kill it off, and it comes right back again. If I wanted to submit that to eset, where would be the best place? Right now, nothing picks this up. Not even Malwarebytes, Spybot, McAfee or NOD32...	Chilling_Silence (9)
