The free update period on my PC-Cillin 2002 is now up and I have to
either upgrade to the 2004 or get another program. I have been running
NOD32 for a few days and I would like to hear some opinions on it and
other programs before I decide on my next AV program.

Thanks
Mike

Definitely go with Nod32. Both are a bit lackluster when it comes to
non-replicating malware, but typically nail the VB100. Nod32 would be far less
resource intensive and a faster scanner.

I personally like PC-Cillin. I'm not certain its firewall is as good as
other choices (I need to do some testing when I get the time), but I believe
the AV product is excellent.

The tests I've seen, PC-Cillin does quite well against non-replicating
malware.

NOD32 has been working ok so far, it has stopped many files with
WIN32/Swen.A, but today I seem to be getting the same problem I had
with PC-Cillin, if the mail scanner is running Outlook express stops
downloading before all the mail has been received. As with PC-Cillin
OE worked with the scanner for a while before the problem started.

Is there any way of getting all the email without turning the mail
scanner off?

Thanks
Mike

I tested the both and I advise you to run Pc-Cillin
NOD 32 have a lot of detection problem and their signature are release a
long time after Pc-Cillin

PC-Cillin would be my choice.

I'd say NOD32 without a doubt. I am *very* happy I decided to go with this
product after testing ALL the others. It has managed to find viruses even
NAV and Kaspersky have missed, and its VB100% record speaks for itself.

If a record 24 VB100% awards is a detection problem, and definition updates
once, if not twice daily is a "long time" after PC-Cillin's, then I'm the
pope living in the vatican holding S&M parties in my gimp dungeon.
