835272 2009-12-12 19:46:00 Is it going to put a dent in other manufacturer's Security software sales?

I doubt it. Unless they start bundling it.
It's nowhere near as good as NOD anyway.

835273 2009-12-13 04:57:00 A work pc got a trojan while MSE was installed, seems it was spread over the network. MSE might not be so good after all..

Oh, and it was fully patched machine...

835276 2009-12-13 09:50:00 I've seen a couple of PC's get infected with so called trojans AND have Nod32 - they come in Via spyware-- Often bundled with the fake "security Antivirus / Security " family of infections. NO AV is perfect. In each case Nod32 DID catch some of it.

I've also seen LOTS of PC's absolutely riddled with infections that have either AVG, Avast or Norton or McAfee, Trend.

Spyware won't be fixed by an AV. Maybe the odd one.

Nod isn't perfect, there isn't a singleoduct that is. But it is better than MSSE, however, MSSE is better than other free AVs.

All very true - as many know (or should) a person should have a good antispyware ( or two) as well as anti-virus - plenty of free ones about that do a reasonable job.
