yup,
Spyware Doctor is good but really memory hogging...
it slow my notebook 1.4Ghz a lot compare to Spyware Sweeper

Which is why i install NOD3 trial version as my antivirus compared to Kaspersky v6.0
NOD32 is using less memory compared to Kaspersky which in my case slow my notebook lo.

The contents of this folder is used during incremental engine update. It's safe to delete contents of the folder, but it will increase update download time.

nod32.00x are all the database (signature files, advanced heuristics etc). Just leave it be.

more info from NOD32 forum:
NOD32.000 - virus signature database
NOD32.002 - support for archives
NOD32.003 - advanced heuristic module
NOD32.004 - packet worm scanner module
NOD32.005 - list of dangerous websites??
NOD32.006 - sample collector module

Hi,
Do not delete those files as it is used by NOD32.
NOD32.000 is the signature file which is used by the program. For those of you who has a tricky virus situation, you can make use of the NOD32 DOS version and copy the NOD32.000( this is the signature file) and you'll have a DOS scanner with the latest signature file.

Unfortunately the faq will tell you to install the NOD32 administrator version which contatins a mirror function and you'll be able to replicate it to the target PC for an update on NOD32.
This is a much debated weakness in NOD32 which we hope will be corrected in the next version.

guys,

i just finish my 30 days trial with NOD32. I'm very pleased with it's performance.

should i pay online to get permanent protection? how much will it cost?

thanks

USD39 per year..

or contact Eset Malaysia or their partners

Is it value for money?

should i go ahead with the subscription?

hi Neo,
Check with the local partners list. I beleive the price is cheaper than the USD conversion for the 1 year retail pack

I have a problem. The NOD32 splash screen takes some time to load when I start my laptop. I guess it is trying to update its virus definition thru wifi. Anyway I could bypass this function?

Yeap. Worth paying..

if you happen to be a student, you are eligible for student rates. its only RM 74 for students. annual renewal would be RM 45 per year. these were the rates that was quoted to me earlier this year

To disable splash screen, just goto NOD32 system setup and click do not display splash screen. Saves you some time as you won't see the splash screen at all. While loading the splash screen, def are not being updated (at least not that i know of). It reads the database version number though.

guys,

thanks for all your help. i called up their service center in malaysia.

They quoted to me:-

RM128, for set up disk
RM85, yearly subscription

hope this info helps

trendmicro also not bad....
i think the subcription is more cheaper...

anyone know per license, per user annual subcription rate?

if it is cheaper, you might consider to go for that...


this is reasonable....

the website only stated in USD...

what about the rate for normal user?
