Hi
I've been using NOD32 for a while, and still have version 2.7 on my computer
because there seem to have been so many problems with the "new" version 3,
even after it's latest updates. But there is the risk that they will stop
allowing updates of sig files to my version so I'm starting to look at
alternatives.
One of the things I don't like the sound of with the new version of NOD32 is
that it uses a proxy server. This is a totally uninformed, gut reaction, but
I like things clean and simple.
So - of the other contenders out there, like kaspersky, are there any that
don't use proxy servers.
Thanks

I'm using version 3.0.560.0 here with absolutley no problems. If others
have reported problems, then all I can say is there has probably never been
a computer application which has never caused anyone a problem. But they
are run on many different combinations of hardware and software so really
not so amazing. No version of NOD32 has ever caused me a problem.
Having said that, I won't knock Kaspersky which is excellent too. I run
that on another machine, so I feel well able to judge.
Both are excellent choices.
Cheers,
Roy

The official support forum has loads of posts about loads of problems, but
ESET seem to be trying to work on them, and I'd be quite happy to hang on
until they got it all sorted, but as I said, I don't like the idea of them
having completely changed the approach to where they now use a proxy
server - especially since I gather they they give no warning or ask
permission that they are going to change settings on your computer when you
install. So does Kaspersky use a proxy server?

KAV (7.0) gives you the option of using or not using a proxy server in
settings. It's by default set to use a proxy server so I have always left it
on. I only just now tried it turned off and the program updated fine so I
guess it's not necessary.

Thanks for that - think I'll give them a look.
