Nice commercial. I found NOD32 to be a good anti-virus. However, it is way
overpriced and there are much better ones according to major reviewers:
PC-MAG, Cnet, others.

The mystique is off NOD32 now.
They should compete on discount pricing, etc.

Please do not put your text below a sig delimiter, a normal newsreader
will cut anything after the sig delimiter.

1. The postings of siljaline are *not* "commercials".

2. Your "major" reviewers are biased to their sponsors (advertisers).

3. Why is NOD32 it "overpriced"?
Can you show a comparison?

4. Can you name some of those "much better ones"?

For unbiased testing I can advise you to look at:

You speak Nonsense:
Take a look at:
http://anti-virus-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
These are excellent reviews.
All anti virus's listed can be had on the street for less than advertised,
except NOD32.
Stop your nonsense. Everyone knows the mystique is OFF NOD32!
Better are: BITDEFENDER, KASPERSKY, WEBROOT, G DATA.
All can be had much cheaper than NOD32 on the street as they say.
I buy boxed versions on ebay of Bitdefender; two years for three installs.
NOD32 is simply another "above average" antivirus.

Someone with a different opinion speaks "nonsense", just because he has
a different opinion?

Maybe you should take a closer look at AV-Comparatives and their
reports?


>Take a look at:

Why?
TopTenReviews is a (very) commercial company.

http://anti-virus-software-review.to...32-review.html
"ESET's NOD32 is rapidly becoming one of the best pieces of antivirus
software on the market today."
"The strength and beauty of this software is its light footprint,
relatively fast scanning and superior ThreatSense® Technology"


>These are excellent reviews.

"The one-user, one-year package is priced at $39.99, which is the middle
range of the antivirus software products reviewed."

What is your grudge against NOD32?

Actually, the best anti-virus application is Common Sense Version 1.

Odd one really unless he is acting on behalf of a competitor. NOD32 works
very well for me.

-No grudge. He said nice things about most of the top half you know.
-About price: the street price for NOD32 is the only one I know of that is
not discounted. NOD32 lives in a less competitive price/performance world.

Why do you keep nagging about prices?
Nobody forces you to pay, what you don't want to pay.

If you care so much about price, use a free av-program;
- AviraAntivir
http://www.free-av.com/en/download/download_servers.php
(according to AV-comparatives one of the very best)

Mine got corrupted over the years and I hadn't made backups.
I think mine is at version 10, if I can find it again.
