It would seem our choices are a little limited ? :lol: I'm not trying to be funny VB , but it is a little annoying when you have so little choice .
The limited choice doesn't bother me. I have been using NOD32 with Windows XP for quite some time now. I really like it. So nothing changes for me there.
I'm only using Vista on a spare hard drive and I'm only really testing it at this point anyway. It'll be quite some time before it becomes my main OS if ever. :unsure:
Well your lucky then VB , I prefer Kaspersky or F-Secure and to be honest just trying Vista as well . Its not just Security programs some of my fav, programs like Tuneup 2006 , Nero 7 .5 or Ccleaner won't work at the moment or have bugs . Theres more but can't remember them all .
Blessing is my hardware is working flawlessy ! All 1900 drivers included on my RTM install disk . :dabs:
where do you downloaded NOD32?

No Vista mentioned.
yes i run it on Vista, and it works great. Works flawlessly, simply, and never gets in the way like some other guys. i reccomend.
yea clamwin is good, esp the portable version

That kinda defeats the purpose no ? I want my e-mail protected automatically I'm not the only on this computer .
I just tried it and it really is just a basic manual scanner. It's also very slow.Quote:

I don't see myself using this installed in any of my setups. Maybe just keep the portable version on my keyring for emergency. :unsure:
You know VB , I love Open Source programs but this one needs a lot of work .
It only works with three programs ? Flashget , Firefox , Windows Live Messenger for real time scaning , I could n't find a Bittoerent that they mention .
I always read the support forums when I try a new program .

I see Symantec Antivirus.Corporate.Edition.v10.2.276 is on the Torrents already . Its for Vista only tho , don't think I'll bother getting it but some of you may want to try ?
