NOD32 - which version are you using

Rik · Mar 04, 2010, 12:03:17

I'm just wondering whether to upgrade from v3 to v4, and personal experience, hints or tips?

Niall · Mar 04, 2010, 12:07:43

I've been using 4 since it came out and haven't seen any problems or performance issues. It's even spotted a couple of things on a hijacked site and submitted them for analysis too

I used version 4 till I had the Mac, and still use it on Justina's Laptop, no issues bit of a slowdown but not much, that along with windows firewall and Prevx and all was well.

Thanks, guys.

I use v4 with no problems at all.

I have the v4 Eset Smart Security running on 3 machines ,2 x 64bit,1x 32bit and have had no problems at all.

Thanks, Dorset.

Still using 3, recently updated to v3.0.695.0, I don't see any reason to change yet.

Rik · Mar 04, 2010, 17:51:38

Thanks. I'm looking at which version to move to from the v2 I have on three machines. As I already know v3, I might put v4 on "Sue's machine", the second desktop, and v3 on this one and the laptop, then see how they perform.

Have a browse through the NOD32 forum on Wilders, Rik. http://www.wilderssecurity.com/forumdisplay.php?s=d607ac483fd63b14f2afdd94079e61b2&f=88

Rik · Mar 04, 2010, 17:55:33

I already looked before asking. Which is why I asked.

drummer · Mar 04, 2010, 17:56:51

Still running v2.51.30 on all four Windows machines here.

Rik · Mar 04, 2010, 17:58:21

You're as bad as me, Drummer.

V3 has no bad/no self defence Noreen, therefore malware could disable it, V4 has much better protection against that, been running it for ages and no issues at all, I would rather make sure malware cant disable an AV than use an older version

Noreen · Mar 05, 2010, 10:24:07

I had read (on Wilders) that 4 had many more issues than 3, is that no longer true?

Rik · Mar 05, 2010, 10:48:25

I wait with bated breath for the answer.

All seems to be cleared up now. I see no problems at all with Smart4.

Rik · Mar 05, 2010, 11:01:50

Thanks, Dorset.

What's Smart4, Dorset?

Rik · Mar 05, 2010, 12:08:57

I think that's the full security suite, Noreen.

Noreen · Mar 05, 2010, 12:12:19

So might that be different from the stand-alone NOD32 v4, Rik?

Rik · Mar 05, 2010, 12:14:49

It is.

Baz · Mar 05, 2010, 12:25:16

do you need to re-buy for V4 then.I dont get any info about an upgrade when checking

Rik · Mar 05, 2010, 12:28:30

No, if your licence is valid, you can upgrade.

Please download the latest build version of the software v4.0.474 to your desktop

http://www.eset.co.uk/Download

Un-install your current version Start Menu > All Programs > Eset > Eset [productname] > Uninstall

Reboot and install the newly downloaded file.

You will need your Eset username and password to start the download. (That's the username/password which is used for updates.)
