| I read some wrong comments and I have just one message for those users: CLEAN your system first from lot useless software and rest of another AV!!! After you'll see, how good is this AV (NOD32). I have NOD32 several years and NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM! Install and set up for many friends, many different computers/hardware and also get instruction and simply rules, what they have to do and what they should AVOID doing. Nobody claim until today. | |||

| My problem may not be all ekrn.exe, but it sure points in that direction. Before you cheerleaders piss bitch about adding RAM, I'm running 4GB w/ Intel Dual Core 2.67Ghz, so it's not having enough resources. OK geniuses, figure it out. | |||

| RAM isn't a problem. It is only taking up 40MB total (Virtual and real RAM), but it hogs way too much CPU time on startup. WAY too much (like 99% for minutes at a time) | |||

| Using nod32 3.0 and ekrn.exe is using less ram than my firefox which i am using to write this comment. nod32 is using 32,652K and firefox is using 41.792K AND I am on a low grade laptop and experiencing no lag. So if you have 512mb ram or more on windows xp, you should be fine and this anti-virus works beautifully. | |||

| NOD32 is defiantly the quickest and most effective AV out there ... if someone is claiming it's a resource hog then someone doesn't know how to set a computer up ... put Norton on your computer and see what happens ... now you'll have a system pig and viruses ... if your running a 286 with 8mb of ram then upgrade to a P1 or something that can handle at least 16mb of ram ... lmfao ... | |||
