Interesting to see the different performances between on-demand and retroactive. NOD seems to do reasonably well in both, but for best performance, you'd need two separate products, which is not feasible.

I don't think you can beat either NOD32 or Kaspersky.  Personally favour NOD32 though.

It works for me, I've never seen a virus on any of my machines. :thumb:

Personally I do not use it, on Linux you see ;), but my wifes machine has it installed ... Plus all my colleagues at work use it at home, instead of Trend which we have at work :bawl:

I like both, but favour Kaspersky, I like the fact that  can set it to update every 30 mins and still get new signatures, but they are all much the same now, buggy annoying and prone to clashes with software, or even your OS  ;)

Even though you don't need it Sebby, the new 2010 TR is available for download, the internet security suite now has its own sandbox to run browsers and other programs from, looks very promising and also an url checker as it goes along now in the web AV, with a FF plug in for the virtual keyboard and mentioned url checker, great for banking sites etc  8)
