Gary is this the anti virus or the combined one from NOD.I have the av but am only on v3.0.xxxx  and thought I was up yo date.that seems a big jump if its the one I need. Also I have never been able to update from the program itself, is there a way or do you need to go to the site. From the program I can only do the database updates unless I'm missing it some where.

Its for both ESS and the stand alone AV which I use like yourself, you need to download the new version, Nod32 will not update versions from 3-4. v4 has been out a while and while some consider it to have had issues, I personally have thought it to be good, this latest build is very smooth, it has self protection, lacking in v3 and improved trojan ad rootkit detection, have a look at AV comparatives to see Esets current position (they could do better) but they are beating Kaspersky. Its for me a solid upgrade, try it, if you don't like it go back to V3  Also the latest V3 is 3.0.694.0.

They never do, its always incremental changes but you do often wonder whats been done.

True. its going to be odd not needing so many utilities for maintenance. Its a bit scary tbh
