Interesting JoeUser! Was not aware. I have limited forum use, so I don't do
much broad research about programs I do not use... Still, within the
Wilders site, Kaspersky is still the #1 solution for folks having trouble
with nod32 (for whatever the reason).
I'll completely agree on your observation of nod32. Tiny, small footprint,
little resource demand, the most set-and-forget I have seen. I really like
it because it remains completely invisible, until it finds and issue, but
goes about its' business without a slew of pop-ups and info windows. I am a
satisfied user; so I am biased of course!
Best,
Duncan

This fan base is dwindling. Kaspersky is killing it. A few months ago
we had a weekend when they sent an update that told the program to
get updates at a new site but there was nothing there. Kaspersky
blamed the users and told them to update their programs, three days
later they took the responsibility and put updates where they had
pointed the program to go - so it could get pointed back to the right
place. Not to long after that they put an update down that caused
systems to continually reboot because of a crash. Last but not least,
this company has NO - absolutely NO dedication to its channel.
Long story short - Fuck Kaspersky. Love to Eset NOD32.
In my own use and experience Kaspersky is slower and quirky but NOD32
is lean - runs great - little impact on system. Detection similar.
