I won’t say it unless it was true.
As far as anti-virus software is concerned, I’ve tried a few. I started with Norton Antivirus, then to ZoneLabs, PC-cilin, McAffee, AVG and also Norman antivirus. Most of the time, all these software do is impose a lot of strain on your computer’s resources.
By starting a lot of scans in the background, it slows down your PC. ZoneLabs even cause some errors on my PC and the longer I kept it on, the slower it became.
It was my friend Vince that introduced me to Nod32, and I downloaded the trial version for my laptop, later also installing it on my PC.
Ok I know the diagram above looks complicated but all these things happen almost without you noticing at all. Now I have two licenses for my laptop and PC, and the performance of my PC is noticeably better. It starts-up faster, shuts down faster, and has overall improved speed.

Hm, sound interesting. Just at the time when i need new antivirus!
How about its performance in “search n destroy” all those viruses?
That looked good too. Even while I was scanning my files there was no apparent slowdown. Whether it gets to dormant trojan horses and viruses better than other antivirus, that I can’t tell.
I’m going to give this a try, haven’t exactly been happy with most anti-virus that’s around right now. Currently using Avast but let’s see what Nod32 can do
One thing though; they don’t ship the physical box to Malaysia. You can’t even buy the digital version unless you put your country as something else other than Malaysia. Or just go get the pirated version
I use Zone Alarm, its very good, hmm..how come it damages your system?
ZoneLabs (Zone Alarm) uses the Kaspersky AV which many regard as the best AV in the world. In many tests, Kaspersky always detects viruses the fastest and it uninstalls cleanly.
The worst would be Norton and Mcafee, they leave large footprints, take up a lot of resources, and do not uninstall properly.
But its true Zone Alarm is very “interfering”. But I take that as a good AV. It has triple layer firewalls!
There are too many spyware these days, you’ll be surprised at what is residing in your PC.
I haven’t tried Nod32, so I can’t comment.
