Joe,
Thanks for the reply. I have read many stories on the Wilders security
forum that support your observations. I just listened to the List banter
of the last 2-3 years regarding the various AV products. I was using an old
copy of CA's ETrust (?) but it went obsolete (no vdefs!). I decided to give
nod32 a 30 day trial. I liked how tiny it was and non-bloated. Quick,
quiet, efficient and really strong. Since my initials, I went with their
enterprise edition and my LAN is quiet and protected. Will I get hit with
something? Sure. Any AV available is not 100%, but for now I'll trust NOD32
for the next 2 years. When the v3.0 AV is finally released, I'll give it a
whirl on one of my machines just for a looksee.
I do like Eset's use of a fairly strong vdef database and a good heuristics
module that does a good job of behavioral analysis. I also like that Eset
does AV, malware, rootkits, spyware, and trojans all in one kit. Not a true
HIPS, but close. There is a new full security suite (w/firewall) due out
soon too. Not ready to test that though. Works for me, but as always, YMMV.
Best,
Duncan

Well I 'gotta' secret to share, you can run NOD and KAV on the same
machine without issue, right now. I used to be a KAV supporter - I am
not anymore for a number of reasons. Some of which include: price
(NOD32 is cheaper), support (NOD32 is better in my experience),
performance (NOD32 runs faster and cleaner), and stability (Less weird
oddities and bugs). I tried a test of my own sometime ago... I cloned
a drive with major infection. I did the clone drive first with KAV and
then with NOD32. Then I did the original drive first with NOD32 then
with KAV. Guess what NOD32 picked up a bit more then KAV - not enough
to throw a 'hissy' about but when I factor in everything else above...
