0 Denholm Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Lol, 'configure' a virus scanner? Course it was. I had popups all the time telling me the database had been updated. I'd run a scan every months too.I run Spybot, and Malwarebytes every few days, so I don't abuse my system. I just find it shocking all that stuff bypassed Nod somehow... Yeah. LOL 'Configure' your virus scanner. :rolleyes: Link. Your knowledge of Nod32 is astoundingly newb.

0 nabz0r Veteran Posted December 25, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 25, 2008 I'd say ESET NOD32 is one of the best and I'm currently using it. I've tried AVG and had no prob with it, but it takes a lot of memory. So ESET NOD32 ftw!

0 Thirtythree Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Best free AV would be Avast. NOD32 would be the best retail AV program.

0 Morning Dew Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 For me, it's none other than NOD32 based solely on its minimal usage of memory.
