Death to everything Symantec-related!

I'm evaluating NOD32 now, and it seems good so far. It's certainly fast, that's for sure. It did a full scan of all my harddrives in ~25 minutes, that's over 85,000 files. NAV needed at least 40 minutes, I can't remember exactly how much but it may have been over an hour in reality. I didn't do full scans very often because it took such a damn long time and it made the entire computer bog down, seems it ran the scan at above normal priority.

NOD is certainly nippier though, and I didn't notice that usual NAV "boggishness" either, though I didn't fool around with the computer much because it was getting rather late. I just let it run as I went to bed.

The non-corporate (ie, home versions) of NAv, like Nav 2004 or Nav 2003, etc, all blow.
The corporate versions of NAv, like NAV CE 7 and onwards, to Symantec Antivirus Corporate 9, all rock.
They are rock solid stable.
Any business who doesnt use the corporate versions is kidding themselves.

And yes, the regular home versions do suck.

So that is why MS selected NOD as their virus killer, huh?

Besides, it's cheap... I may have to register this one methinks!

I'm still with McAfee. The only annoyance is about 10 seconds delay on powerup when windows starts, but I never had any issues with it otherwise. It used to consume a lot of CPU power in the past, but the current versions got better.
