For thirty days I suffered with a two year license of this product. My system repeatedly froze and crashed multiple times a day. I had decided to try this on the attempt to save money from my Kaspersky renewal, and was attracted by the idea of a lighter antivirus product. This simply is not compatible with Windows Vista 32. I had multiple, repeated system conflicts and all that was suggested by customer support at ESET was reinstalling the product. Some of the error messages I received from Windows were “login security failure”. I tried multiple settings, tricks, fixes, etc… to no avail. Please do not waste your money on the full version. I never had this problem with Kaspersky, problems began only with the installation of ESET NOD 32 v. 4.0.

When Vista32 first came out I needed a new anti-virus provider. After careful consideration I choose NOD32 Version 3. It has a small footprint and is a competent program. Sadly after I installed Version 4 my system started locking up randomly. After extensive testing on my part, I finally discovered that NOD32 Version 4 was the problem.
I am now back using Authentium Anti-virus with no lockups.
System:
Vista32 Ultimate SP2
4GB Ram
1 TB harddrive

Well, spent a couple hours today figuring out why my ESET 4 quit working and gave unhelpful error messages about not being able to update. Apparently, they didn’t plan on VISTA SP2 and they do not work together. So, I wasted a bunch of time because this company was NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME with a major release from Windows. Unbelievable. I was already not terribly impressed but hoped it was a good enough product. Silly me.
To make such a huge error that must have screwed up many peoples’ computers in addition to mine bodes poorly for whatever is going on with this company. (It also gives a message in uninstall that seems to suggest uninstall will fail. That threw me off. I figured you you just need to select “ignore” when that pop up comes up saying you don’t have permission to access/stop a key file.)
Comparatively, I’ve had not troubles for some time with either the current Norton products, or with Avast. I would avoid ESET unless you like more hassles to figure out on your PC.
Well, there is more since the above post. It seems that I was not able to successfully uninstall the non working ESET from my computer, either. IT’s very hard to uninstall. From what I’ve seen on the internet, I may have to roll back to SP1 just to remove this stupid software, and then reupdate to SP2. Amazing screw up on their part.

I’ve used the version 3 and I was delighted with the way it performed. Yes, it was fast and did not slow down or bogged down my computer in comparison to other anti virus I’ve used previously. I own an older Dell Dimension 8300, 40 gb hd, w-Xp home, but upgraded to 3 gb ram; -which is the reason I choosed Nod 32 because it is not a memory hog. With Nod 32 ver. 3, it gave me adequate speed. But when I renewed to Nod 32 ver 4, I was disappointed when I ran both “smart scan” and “custom scan.” because it was very, very slow. I emailed the company and they suggested I upgrade to ver 4.2 for free, but still, “custom scan” took longer than 4 hours to complete as it did before the upgrade, while “smart scan” took one hour plus, to complete. Although I might add, there are other times when “smart scan” scans in less than 10 minutes. At this time, I’m still experimenting with it. But on the other hand, I don’t know if there are other AV out there that works faster than Nod 32 without bogging down the computer to a snail crawl. Frankly, I don’t know if it is my computer or the softwarwe itself or else there is a conflict with my Spyware Doctor. Because Nod 32 also includes anti-virus. I know I’m not saying much here; ….I’m just puzzled.

So far so good. I switched to Eset because of all the irritating reminder messages I used to get from my two previous “high end” antivirus softwares. I found Eset easy to install and haven’t had a single problem with it to date. Of course, I took extra care to make sure any previous antivirus software was removed first. I’m curious to see what happens when it’s time to renew, but I’m being optimistic. I would recommend this software, but one should keep in mind I’ve only been using it for a few months.
