Bought NOD32

#1 Post by K. Eng » Tue Apr 03, 2007 9:28 pm

After seeing the advertisement here on ThinkPads.com and reading some reviews, I decided to give NOD32 a try. I've been using my school copy of Norton for the past few years, and it's the 2002 edition, which is pretty out of date.

I'm impressed with NOD32 so far -- there are a lot of settings that I can fiddle with, and it is much faster at scanning and more compact than Norton.

I am also very excited about NOD32. Years ago my Norton Anti Virus 2002 was similar to it, but Symantec kept adding bloatware to it, so their product is now not useable any more.

I got the tip of NOD32 also here in on the board, thanks for that!

I agree. NOD32 is propably the best antivirus app out there.

My only suggestion for improving NOD32 is the windowing system. The custom UI doesn't seem to always stick. If I bring up the AMON or IMON scanner control windows, they are standard Windows GUI sometimes, and NOD32 GUI sometimes. This is a bit odd.

I fiddled around with the graphical settings and I can't get it to behave consistently. So I've just disabled the custom UI for now.

i am running NOD32 on several machines..
custom desktop, transnote running W2k, T60p running Vista RC2, X60s running XP SP4 (preload) and i have never experienced any problem at all..
especially having control center, AMON, DMON, EMON or NOD32 open in anything but the same ESET standard windiw..

so, my question is whats going on on your computer..?
is windows doing what it does and screwing up..
or is there parts of the symantec AV still on your computer..?

have you tried it on your thinkpad..?
