  Version: ESET NOD32 Antivirus (Windows 95/98/Me) 2.5

  "Best Lean, Fast Antivirus Program"

  by mderight on January 28, 2007

  Pros: I tried the below listed 30 day trial Antivirus programs over the past month.

  Norton, Kaspersky, F-Prot, AVG Free, BitDefender, McAfee, Avast and a couple of other that are not worth mentioning.

  1) Norton, Kaspersky, BitDefender, McAfee are well known products and I am sure they do an excellent job, but they take up a lot of system resources, scan slow, are huge programs to download for a trial and are expensive to purchase.

  2) AVG Free is an excellent freeware Antivirus program, but why does it keep logging in everyday and claims to do a "priority update". And you cannot disable it from "downloading", or I call it

  "uploading".

  3) I almost purchased F-Prot because of its simplicity and fast scanning, but I thought I would try one more.

  4) I tried NOD32 Antivirus and I really like it! It is kind of a strange name for an Antivirus program so I think a lot of people pass on this one. But, I found it to be really fast, effective, highly rated

  and it is inexpensive. $58.50 for two year license. It is everything I want in an Antivirus application.

  5) I am really pleased with NOD32 Antivirus and I am glad the past month is over. Now I have something I can trust for the next two years.

  6) Did I mention it is fast! It will detect a virus before it downloads to your computer! It will notify you to immediately end your internet session if it

  detects a hostile web site threat to your computer!

  7) My suggestion to prevent your computer from being infected by emails and hostile websites is to use NOD32 and also download the freeware program "Enigma" browser from this website. Enigma browser replaces

  Internet Explorer browser and has so many features, it is like an antivirus program in itself. Prevents Popups, Scripts, Music, Balloons and all that other stuff from getting on your computer. After installing Enigma, click on "Tools".

  Cons: None
