Hi, Nod32 updates hourly, which is much more frequently than MSE. I find MSE slows down even fast machines, at least mine. Eset Rules!

If you have not run a scan, you'll get a warning on sidebar that you may not be fully protected, or if live protection is off, you will get a warning. Just run a scan and the warning will go away, or turn live protection on, ditto checkout my stand-up comedy performance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75fbevlz10g If you like it, please forward or post on your social network.
