| ESET has shot itself in the foot. The selling point of Nod32 v 2.x was that it was fast and used little resources. With v 3.0 it has become as slow and resource craving as Norton, with no better protection. | |||

| Used to use Trend, but got a bit of maleware that it could detect but not remove at all. NOD32 took it easily. Never had a problem with NOD32 in detecting viruses or in the amount of RAM or CPU time, even during scans my PC which is 3 years old ( okay up graded a few times. :D ) 1.2GB RAM and a 3.3 AMD CPU, runs smooth and fast. | |||

| great av ive tried a lot of avs and this runs the smoothest and takes up the least ammount of ram. I have only have 2 collisions with viruses because I am wary on what websites to visit. and usually know which ones contain illicit material. get this if you want something reliable and a lot faster than norton... | |||
