    Hi

    I have another question:

    If you had the choice between ESET NOD 32 and AVAST antivirus, which one would you use?

    Thanks for your hints! :-o

    Personally I would opt for avast! one reason being I am satisfied with it and another being I would never purchase AV

    I second what was said above, although NOD 32 is a fantastic anti-virus I wouldn't pay for protection when I can get other fantastic protection for free.

    Both are good. It depends if you want to pay or go free.

    Always NOD32 yes it is a pay software but there are way less false positives, and it updates more then avast. Now this should really stir up the masses, I have not ever depended on 1 single AV since Windows 98SE, I use 3 all the time! I found out a long time ago that by using 3 and knowing what they are reporting to you is cheap insurance to protect yourself. Some of the best ones are right here at MG. The trick is to find 3 that get along with each other, another reason why I use NOD32, it gets long with everything. Before anyone asks my answer is if your only using 1 scanner how do you know if it is a false positive or a real threat?
