   Reviewing 4.0.68 Beta 1 (Dec 1, 2008)

   Loved it during version 4.
   Unfortunatelly, after that, it has become pretier, but slower and memory hogger.
   Also even the new 4.0 is still not full x64 native.
   Probably Avira, with the exception of false positives, has a higher detection ratio, is faster, and lighter.

   Reviewing 3.0.621 (Oct 30, 2008)

   Overrated crap with terrible support and a terrible interface. AntiVir Premium detects better (av-comparatives.org), has heuristics that are much better (av-comparatives.org again), and is lighter on the system. Moreover, when you send Avira malware, they--Oh my gosh!--actually add it to the friggin' database!
   
   Eset, on the other hand, saves up a million or so database entries for the day before a VB100 test. Because, you know, all the NOD32 fannies become engorged in the nethers over the VB100.
   
   I remember having to hassle around with excluding items using LFNs and SFNs, not being able to wildcard excluded domains, and ten billion other idiotic things like that. Not much has improved since those bad old days, except that the interface has been cutesied up.

   Several connectivity issues with games when using "Redirect traffic for checking".

   Best Antivirus for any Windows 32/64-bit, vista/xp
   if you have a laptop and needs a firewall and antispam, then eset smart security is a better choice
   
   NOD32 3.0 havnt had any problems on my systems, everything runs fine, i love esets small notifies about virus updates, they are sweet and it tells you the antivirus is up-to-date, without any naging like other antivirus products from other companys..
   
   Esets updates antivirus definitions twice or more a day, so you might get new antivirus definitions 3-4 times a day! here is link to updates infomation
   http://www.eset.com/support/updates.php
   
   antivirus definitions size is not big, nearly all are under 2MB
   
   NOD32 & Smart Security does not use much resources, if you manual scan, then it uses much cpu, but when it runs in the backgrond it takes less than 40MB memory, 0-2% cpu
   
   i recommend turn off Advanced heuristics, Potentally unwanted applications, Potentally Unsafe applications in Antivirus and antispyware > Real-Time file protection > Enable real-time file system protection > setup > Options
   
   if you have high cpu usage when nod32 is doing real-time scan
   
   more than one license is cheap compared to other antivirus products from other companys
   
   Am so happy with NOD32 since i bought four 2 year licenses in 2007
   
   Infact am realy happy, i become a reseller since last week!, so more people have to buy or atleast try Eset's ( eset is a hidden-secret in the industry) products!
   
   i recommend NOD32 Antivirus for PCs and workstations behind a firewall or routers
   
   i also recommend Eset Smart Security for Laptops and people that dont have router and only have a modem
   why i recommend this is that your laptop will be more secure to have esets firewall in smart security, and antispam is good
