| 643319 | 2008-02-26 08:10:00 | If I did try NOD I would download it, and install it. And go to the office and pay for that. Not get the boxed version / whatever it is. Altho Avast at the mo, is good enough. |

| 643320 | 2008-02-26 08:17:00 | I just wish there was one app that did Anti-Virus, Adaware and Trojans, that was small and unobtrusive and updated regualry and available for a small annual fee. I would pay money for that to save having to spend hours working on all these apps we are recommending and fighting off threats when all I want to do is use my PC. Rgeards Digby It is your choice to run Windows I presume, but there are other operating systems that don't require the time, effort and expense to remove viruses, trojans and spyware. Your wish could come true with a bit of lateral thinking. |

| 643321 | 2008-02-26 08:31:00 | Does NOD32 tell you when it has picked up a virus?. I have it here but it has never told me I have a virus so either I haven't had a virus or it isn't working as it should.? It advises kernel updates every day though. With version 3.0 it no longer pops up a big window that warns you of a virus infecting your computer With this version it just comes up with a splash window exactly the same as the update window it then slowly disappears in 5 seconds. You can always look at your quarantine file to see if it has caught any virus. |

| 643323 | 2008-02-26 08:53:00 | Currently using Avast Home Edition which is fine and doesn't use up too much resources . If I were to use another I'd most probably go with BitDefender . Only NZ$29 for a 1 year license which is the cheapest of the lot and has some pretty solid reviews too .

| 643324 | 2008-02-26 21:07:00 | [QUOTE=wainuitech;647673]Using version 3.06.621.0 It appears I have quite an old version V2.70.32 here. Can I install the latest version over the top or do I have to uninstall the old version first. Would it be worthwhile updating.? |

Would it be worthwhile updating.? Very worthwhile, the v3 interface is a lot more cleaner and straight forward to use. You'll need to uninstall your current NOD32 then install the new one. |

| 643326 | 2008-02-26 23:35:00 | I'm as happy as a clam with Nod32. Not that I get a lot of virii, but it's there, doing it's bit in the background. sarel |

Lot cleaner interface, I have done it both ways , straight over the top, and uninstall/reinstall . The settings are a bit tricky to locate until you switch to Advanced mode (bottom Left hand corner of the Program window), this is for setting up the custom settings . |
