Speed? How and where to set this up (if this is some setting). Second:
I'm not sure what do you mean by "normal"computing. During past 4-5 month I
tried to survived several virus attacks, had to reinstall everything twice,
lost BKF (corrupted) with material from a few years, and still every time
almost every other day my gadgets are discovering some spywares, adwares,
occasionally Trojan in e-mails or other files. But, even scheduled weekly
scan (automatic - not manual) takes over 20 hours using G Data AVK.
Anyway - thanks for attention.

NOD32 works in the background, constantly scanning without your being aware.
You won't detect any hogging of resources like you do with other AV (Norton,
McCrappy, etc.) either. Only when something is detected either on your PC,
on a web site you're at, or trying to download via e-mail or P2P, will you
ever know it's there (other than the notices that pop-up telling you it's
just completed updating its definitions).

Thanks for explanation. I'll try it. Only - how its shielding compares to
Kaspersky or other toppers?

Thanks for recommendation. Tried it. Full scan: 4 hrs vs. G Data 22+ hours.
Had a problem with blocked internet traffic when installed trial. Contacted
this company, received an answer with fix in 2 minutes. You were right -
super (don't they sleep...?). I'm switching...
Thanks.
