Thane, Not completely a waste of time; other than the initial web-based update. It did find and clean a bunch of stuff out. Yes, it did miss several newer baddies. Not to worry. Advice taken. Demo NOD32 now running. I am impressed. It is very aggressive and did find the rest of the trash. 2 more dialers, 3 more trojans, and several hueristic questionables that it submitted for confirmation. Don't know how I'll ever find out yea/nea though because the system does not have email running.
Installed as normal user w/all (as many allowed!) options engaged. I'll do several more heavy scans before I give the box back. I'll leave it up to the owner as to whether they buy after the demo period runs out. Thanks for the advice. Spot on. Very nice AV package.
