it's definitely the best antivirus when you sum all the properties; speed, db, performance and the available cracked versions
I used NOD32 for a while when I first got Windows 7, loved the way it felt so light on the system & scans were fast too but then started using MSE & I got into using Comodo Firewall as well so didn't feel the need to keep using it. Never got a warning when using it though, hopefully nothing got in.
MSE cannot even compete with NOD32 man it misses alot of viruses. You would never know obviously since you missed them. I've used it on my sister's computer only to discover a week later that her PC is fully of viruses when we scanned online.
That means nothing if you did not do full system scan when you installed MSE viruses may have already been present.
MSE hasn't let me down yet, I've been using it fully since it came out of beta & it's probably due to my browsing habits but I have never had MSE throw anything up about malware, it continues to get very good results from AV tests & has very very low FP's if any really. I use it in a combo though of Malwarebytes (On-Demand Scanner Only) & Comodo Firewall (With High Settings).
The last years while running XP I have been using a downloaded version of Eset NOD32 version 3 and it has been working very well. Now while Im about to start using Win7 I thought about update the antivirus software to a more fresh version. So I tried download version 4 on Eset NOD32, but there seems like there is no working crack for this? You have to got new keys atleast once a month and maybe it wont work any more some day(I know this happend to Kaspersky). So if I don´t buy version4 is it still the best way to go for now to update the key every month? Or should I stick with version3 (Will it even work on Win7?) Or is there any other good antivirus for win7 out there?
I use Avast free works with all got fed up having to different versions of virus checkers for x86 and x64 systems.
I use Avira Antivir Free and in my experience it's very good, besides a simple UI and minimum advertisement (just when you update the virus DB).
I've been using NOD32 for 4 or 5 years now, in XP-32 Vista-64 and now 7-64 without any problems I'm careful when I surf the web or download something, I keep my PC nice and clean And another thing, I recently paid € 32.- (if I'm not mistaken) for another year, for 2 licenses! It's worth it
