Default Nod32 version 2 observations


Anyone else running Nod32, version 2?
I have since it was released.......any problems? None for me.
I DEFINATELY like they ONE icon in the taskbar, new user interface.
Seems faster than the older one, and I've actually started using the
AMON feature, instead of keeping it off. Seems to suck a little less
resources.

I'd give it a 10 out of 10......but I'm kind of biased toward NOD32

I got no problems with NOD32. I like that IMON feature. I like that IMON can
catch an email that has been infected and allow you to leave it at the pop3
server when pulling it to the OE or Outlook Inbox. I can then use Mailwasher
to whack it at the server or try to clean it before pulling it to the
machine.

I'm tryin' to think of an instance in which I'd want mail that was carrying
infected attachments. I can only come up with one in which I requested it
from the sender.

There are problems with cumulative updates. The most serious one is
the size...an incremental update might be 1% of the size of the
cumulative one.

This becomes a problem when a large number of users downloads the
updates at the same time...even if the update servers are have a good
fiber-optic connection they can be overloaded trying to send out
terabytes in a short period of time....tlis leads to delays for the
users. Besides, not all users
have a fast ADSL connection - downloading a 1-2 megabyte file over a
slow modem can be irritating.

Most AV companies either offer incremental updates, or are moving in
that direction - this includes us (F-PROT): Incremental updates will
be the rule in the future.

Using it now and I haven't noticed any problems with it.

All you who wish to comment, regardless whether you would say the new
NOD32 works or it doesn't, would do much to increase your post's
helpfulness by including your OS & hardware configurations. I might
want to try switching to the newer version but I'm hearing some say it
works while other's say it doesn't. No one seems to be giving me any
idea whether it might work for me or not.

I upgraded to V2 a couple of days ago. I see no difference in perf and had no
problems. It's definitely more appealing looking, no longer kludgey with all
the various icons and you can schedule scans within NOD32.

Sounds like something didn't "take"......any chance you can
roll back, using system restore? Get it stable, double check and
make sure you have no other antivirus software installed/running.
Also, any chance you had Norton, or McAfee at some point before
you installed Nod32? I've seen a lot of horror stories about
NAV/Mcafee not removing itself completely, and then hosing the
computer when you try to install another antivirus software.
After you make sure everything is uninstalled, you might also
try cleaning out the registry. One program I like is called RegScrub
XP. It will remove orphan entries. There are others out there, but
BE CAREFUL when dumping stuff out of the registry. Try downloading
Nod32 again, and try another reinstall......let us know how it goes.
I've e-mailed Eset software, and usually have received a reply within
a few days.
