| 404211 | 2005-11-13 22:20:00 | I second that | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||
| 404212 | 2005-11-13 22:43:00 | You second what? I've used AVG for over 6 years without any problems. Just to see if I've become infested with all the things that it supposedly misses I'll try the NOD32 trial. NOD32 is NZ $70 for the 1st year just so the cost is highlighted. First impression, if Esset are so good why does an 8MB download need a 4MB update? Why can't they keep the install file more current. |

| 404213 | 2005-11-13 22:46:00 | i have come across the occasional thing that ONLY nod32 would remove..... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 404214 | 2005-11-13 22:54:00 | Just keep in mind that not everyone needs the higher capabilities of NOD32, And no program no matter how highly regarded will please everyone. If you don't like Nod32 then don't use it, But the fact the initial update is largish doesn't make the app kick any less arse. Hmmm.....The update file I have for AVG is 5.6mb..... |

| 404216 | 2005-11-14 00:24:00 | Ok now I feel like an idiot, cos I can't find where it tells me what sort of motherboard I have . As for the trojan, all I can find in the log is 'Win32/TrojanDropper . small . JH or ones the same but some finish with ff etc . As for Nortons, I run it for over 2 years, and hated how it slowed down the puter so much . NO, not going back there . LOL Now Nod won't update, it keeps giving me error messages as well . Oh sheesh, just as I think I have one thing fixed, something else gives me grief . Nero won't install, it come with the new dvd player that he installed, but he didn't install the software, so when I tried to do that, it goes so far and stops with an error message . That reformat is getting closer, and I just don't want to go there!!!!!!! But thanks for your comments everyone, I knew by coming here that I would get conflicting advise, but it still helps me a little . |

| 404217 | 2005-11-14 00:34:00 | Ok, AMD Athlon XP 2400 with 479 ram, available, is that what you wanted Tweake . I run CCleaner, and come up with heaps of errors by running the 'issues' tab, but didn't fix, cos wasn't sure what I was doing, but besides the normal shortcut missing ones, there are also a lot of 'activex/com issues' and 'missing shared ddl's, and 'open with application issues', one of them being REGISTER . EXE "%1" but oh, ok, that is with Backweb, sorry, talking aloud here and reading . Ok, that is it for now, have to fly to work, thanks for your help . |

| 404218 | 2005-11-14 00:44:00 | close enough, they are a few motherboards that are very fussy and its comman to get the wrong ram for and cause similar problems. yours isn't the one i was thinking of. backup all data, format and reinstall :( |

If you don't like Nod32 then don't use it, But the fact the initial update is largish doesn't make the app kick any less arse. Hmmm.....The update file I have for AVG is 5.6mb..... Well the NOD scan produced 1 joke file "slippery mouse" that other companies don't regard as a real virus, 1 probable false positive that no other AV detects and 1 low threat adware file. So at this stage I don't see the higher capabilities as being worth it. My update comment applied to any company that doesn't update their install files with the latest software. The latest Grisoft AVG installer shouln't need a big update as it contains the same version as the updater. |

| 404220 | 2005-11-14 00:49:00 | Take it back and raise a stink, Surely installing an optical drive also means installing the software and making sure it works.....or have I been doing it wrong all these years?, Hell, I even show people how to use Nero when they pick up their comp if they are unfamilier with it. If the system started to go downhill as he worked on it he should have called you in and advised what futher work would be required, Not just hand it back and take the payola. |
