683819 2008-06-30 04:50:00 yeah i have it....and pro on my laptop, i just get that feeling it doesnt do much...

LOL. It's because you are used to nortons slowing everything down and constantly bombarding you with messages about this and that and your system is at risk because you have a tracking cookie on your computer...and so on, that when you get an AV that works properly, you're worried it's not doing it's thing properly. I feel sorry for you.

NOD32 is even better.

One would think that if you have a firewall and antivirus that actually works then that would be all would you need. I do not use comodo currently but have tried the firewall in the past.

Buy comodo if you want to.

I use windows Vista firewall along with Avast and for some reason my computer has not been infected. This may have something to do with the fact that I do not use P2P in any shape or form and do not swap software or files with anyone.

"lol at norton. I do hav symantec corporate (dont ask where i get these things cos they just appear on my desk......its legal) i want an AV to just sit there and not hog all my ram"

So where does the software come from? I would be rather pleased if the latest software just landed on my desk along with legal keys or codes.

For antivirus I would tend to use AVG 8 or Avast or maybe even Antivir which I have not used in some time.

683823 2008-06-30 06:33:00 dont ask where i get these things cos they just appear on my desk. Thats called spyware.

If you want to test your antivirus software go to This site here (www.eicar.org) Theres a set of files that are on the page near the bottom, they test your antivirus to make sure they are detecting the files as a virus - completely harmless - no pay load, according to the site, you download and scan with your AV it should say its an infection.

Eset - Nod32 wont even let it load, thats how good Nod is, stops it before trouble happens - Have a look bottom right hand corner (www.imagef1.net.nz) :thumbs:

683824 2008-06-30 11:42:00 im not complain about the software landing on my desk in my room. i just want more knowledgeable peoples opinions :thumbs: just because i hav the software doesnt mean its any good. hmm what about Computer Associates eTrust?

These days theres so many antiviruses, its hard to choose one thats decent, but as i keep seeing, Nod32 seems to be the best....

683825 2008-06-30 11:52:00 Forget other AV programs, use Avast or NOD32.

eTrust is extremely average. I never does anything. Never even seems to update sometimes.

You won't be disappointed with NOD32.
