Happy Christmas!

Yeah right...what's the point in Trial version? I had some nasty history with AVG, I bet they will do some heavy sh*t after 17. January has passed. Dunno what but hell knows I'm not gonna be surprised!

Personally I would go for the free 3 month trials of NOD32 or Kaspersky instead

Oh Dear looks like their server has crashed by having to many logging onto it!

That ain't new ... try an 'update' and be prepared to wait ... a few days.

I'll second that, but wait till ver3 of NOD is out of BETA.

I've been running NOD32 ver3 for a couple of weeks now Mucks, and I like it

 

[GameMaster]

I have Nod32 and it's the best antivirus I ever had, and I had all the best, even AVG and Kaspersky!

I don't think I'd ever put AVG in that category

Oh, I like it too ... however, I also have a couple of the "anomalies" other people are err, moaning about.

I have installed ver3 NOD Antivirus on one PC & NOD Smart Security on two others, happy enough with NOD Antivirus, but NOD Smart Security has some issues ... one small gripe is the GUI does not render correctly on 2 different installations. What is a little disconcerting is, I have 2 different installs from one piece of software. What I don't like is; the firewall set to allow all out-going trafic on a "normal mode" install. ouch!, may as well use MS firewall.

I'm not too concerned with the GUI 'problems' they can & should be fixed, what concerns me most is how the Smart Security performs. I ain't to pleased to date. Hence my sarcastic comment on it being BETA. I'm sorry, but my personal oppinion is just that ... these little 'problems' should not be there in a final release.

I haven't done much "testing" as I have been a little busy, but NOD is exceptionally good value for money.

Shame the servers crashed for the AVG freebie, interesting to note the recommendations for NOD32 - I've never heard of it

*Goes to have a look*

The GUI renders fine here Mucks - but I understand what you mean about the firewall settings under normal config, those not wanting or unable to play with the manual settings should be better protected from the off
