  "Fast Performance, Quick and Easy Installation"

  by Jakez98 on December 29, 2009

  Pros: Excellent heuristic detection engine that is able to identify unknown malware accurately with low false positives. Average scanning speed, but extremely light real time protection with low power consumption when installed on a laptop.

  Cons: Missed out a lot of features that other security suites have, such as anti-phishing, web advisor, sandboxing, and on-screen keyboard. And the anti-spyware detection capabilty is very low, as compared to Avira and Kaspersky.

  Summary: Provides light and comprehensive protection that's suitable even for the less powerful PCs, but for those who want a security suite with even more security features, consider Kaspersky Internet Security, which inculdes a software vulnerability scan, ... read more

  "Great Product, Lightweight, Catches most everything"

  by laughetaffy on December 20, 2009

  Pros: I've been using NOD32 for 2 years. It started when a bunch of our laptops got infected with the Conficker when I was in Iraq and I had an old version of it on my external. The only AV that found and eliminated it. With an old definition!

  Cons: Yearly update? We'll see how it goes when I have to port it to my new laptop next month.

  Summary: Awesome, lightweight, AV protection. I haven't had any problems with viruses, spyware, trojans or anything. Runs lightning fast on my 3 year old laptop. Updates definitions everyday. Can't say enough. Definitely worth the cost. read more

  4.WARNS YOU ABOUT VIRUSES & EFFICIENTLY REMOVES THEM.

  Cons: NONE THAT I FOUND.

  Summary: ESET is the best anti-virus ever.I don't know why people love AVAST.It keeps warning when a virus is detected,but never removes the virus properly.Once you close the program threat notice is gone,but when you open that application again,you again ge... read more
