ESET NOD32 Antivirus Review

“I tried the NOD x1 month free download, which is JUST...”

I tried the NOD x1 month free download, which is JUST anti-virus ('AV') but not a firewall as well. I wanted both, because M/soft's firewall isn't reliable. I liked the NOD prog, because it was so unobtrusive, --sitting quietly in the corner doing it's stuff, and the download of updates was also very discrete. However, ...when I looked at the head-to-head professional reviews, I discovered that the full suite is fairly pricey, AND it wasn't efficient enough at catching all viruses / Trojans out there (apparently) and I need a top-class, ultra-reliable AV and firewall setup, as part of my living is earned from pc work. I nearly went for Bitdefender and another prog, but in the end settled for the full Kaspersky Internet 2010 suite, as it met all my criteria. But BEWARE!! --Shame that many reviews didn't point out that Kaspersky is badly written, and conflicts with _any_ little trace of other AV's on yr system -even if never installed, --such as the McAfee dross which loads automatically with XP Pro! {see my separate review on this site, re Kaspersky 2010}

I wish NOD would sort their prog out a bit more, and then I would happily buy it.
