Eset Nod32 Antivirus V.4.0 [Old Version]

Well, spent a couple hours today figuring out why my ESET 4 quit working and gave unhelpful error messages about not being able to update. Apparently, they didn't plan on VISTA SP2 and they do not work together. So, I wasted a bunch of time because this company was NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME with a major release from Windows. Unbelievable. I was already not terribly impressed but hoped it was a good enough product. Silly me.To make such a huge error that must have screwed up many peoples' computers in addition to mine bodes poorly for whatever is going on with this company. (It also gives a message in uninstall that seems to suggest uninstall will fail. That threw me off. I figured you you just need to select "ignore" when that pop up comes up saying you don't have permission to access/stop a key file.)Comparatively, I've had not troubles for some time with either the current Norton products, or with Avast. I would avoid ESET unless you like more hassles to figure out on your PC.Well, there is more since the above post. It seems that I was not able to successfully uninstall the non working ESET from my computer, either. IT's very hard to uninstall. From what I've seen on the internet, I may have to roll back to SP1 just to remove this stupid software, and then reupdate to SP2. Amazing screw up on their part.

The anti-virus and associated protection can be found a lot more affordable. The install was difficult and Eset customer service was contacted only to be informed I needed to download file assistant links.When starting up the pc, Eset Nod32 takes longer than previously used protection. Also purchased additional memory in attempt to ease the upstart.

I WAS THINKING THAT THIS ANTIVIRUS WAS THE BEST BUT IT WASN'T. A WEEK LATER AFTER INSTALATION SOMETHING WENT WRONG WITH IT!! I TOOK CARE OF THE ISSUE BY USING ANOTHER SOFTWARE.

I've used the version 3 and I was delighted with the way it performed. Yes, it was fast and did not slow down or bogged down my computer in comparison to other anti virus I've used previously. I own an older Dell Dimension 8300, 40 gb hd, w-Xp home, but upgraded to 3 gb ram; -which is the reason I choosed Nod 32 because it is not a memory hog. With Nod 32 ver. 3, it gave me adequate speed. But when I renewed to Nod 32 ver 4, I was disappointed when I ran both "smart scan" and "custom scan." because it was very, very slow. I emailed the company and they suggested I upgrade to ver 4.2 for free, but still, "custom scan" took longer than 4 hours to complete as it did before the upgrade, while "smart scan" took one hour plus, to complete. Although I might add, there are other times when "smart scan" scans in less than 10 minutes. At this time, I'm still experimenting with it. But on the other hand, I don't know if there are other AV out there that works faster than Nod 32 without bogging down the computer to a snail crawl. Frankly, I don't know if it is my computer or the softwarwe itself or else there is a conflict with my Spyware Doctor. Because Nod 32 also includes anti-virus. I know I'm not saying much here; ....I'm just puzzled.

This is an excellent Antivirus program. I have had it for a few years on a few different computers. I liked it so much I renewed it a few different times on my different computers. You need an excellent anti-virus program these days and this is a great one. The price was a great value too.

I had to re-install eset and it would not accept key. asked for help but got none. I thus recommend not to buy eset, especially if you might need help at some point.

Try to use this product with my new widows 7 machine,and it crashed my system every time, and it was veryslow. Would not buy it again.

I agree with Edmac: after upgrading to V4 on my older pc, CPU utilization jumped during scans and my computer becomes unusable. I have tried to schedule scans for middle of the night using the scheduling feature but these scans still kick in at seemingly random times, so I've started disabling them during the day to see if that stops the problem.NOD32 used to offer two substantial advantages over competitors: fairly comprehensive virus detection and great efficiency (because of the way the software is written, it was not a resource hog). Now it's a resource hog.I plan to restore V3 on my primary computer.
