5.0 out of 5 stars Eset Nod32 version 4 continues the trend as a great AV product., February 8, 2011

This review is from: Eset Nod32 Antivirus V.4.0, 3 User (CD-ROM)

I am an IT professional and have had experience with more than 10 different antivirus products. In the old days, products like Norton (Symantec), McAfee, and Trend Micro ran fairly efficiently and didn't have a big impact on your CPU while they ran scans or did realtime protection.

However as all of the vendors began adding features like firewalls, anti-spam protection, and tool bars for safer surfing, their products have become so cumbersome that you will see a very noticeable impact on the performance of your computer.

When NOD32 entered the scene, they changed all of that. They built a no nonsense AV product that has one of the most highly rated protection levels while having minimum impact on your computer. Version 4 of Eset Nod32 continues that trend. Even the Eset Smart Security product which includes the firewall, anti-spam, antispyware, and AV is much more efficient than the competing products.

When my license ran out for my home PCs, I came here to Amazon and bought this 3 user pack to save some money. It is cheaper than renewing online and not really much of a hassle to register and get your new username and password.

Nod32 version 4 comes in both 32bit and 64bit versions, so running it on Windows 7 64bit is not a problem. Once you register and get your username and password, you can even download the latest versions from the Eset website.

Overall I still cannot find a better AntiVirus product on the market. There are always new ones cropping up, but none have shown me any improvements over Nod32.

3.0 out of 5 stars Renewal can be a Pain, July 27, 2010

I like ESET, but to avoid hassle at renewal time you should buy from ESET's website instead of here. For one thing when it comes time to renew your virus protection they need the info off the bar-code from the original packaging to tell which dealer you bought it from, but even having that still leads to inconvenience. Luckily I still had the box after one year, but then you have to call the associated dealer on your dime and get more info. The dealer isn't Amazon, but whoever supplied it to Amazon. It took me a call to Arizona and then one to San Diego to track down the right info. Second if you want to change the number of machines you can install ESET on, or upgrade to the Security Suite you need to do that as well AND call ESET. It's a pain. After all this I had to play phone tag with ESET's accounting department as they decided I might not be the person on my Credit Card. Now checking up on that isn't A Bad Thing -- I'd rather have them check, than allow a fraudulent charge, but it was one more layer of stuff to do to renew. Buy from ESET direct and save yourself some hassle when it comes time to renew.

I did NOT buy this from amazon...I downloaded directly from ESET.
My old stuff had almost lapsed it's subscription, and I did not want to renew it.
I have used nearly all brands over the years. The reviews in CU and amazon made me think of trying it.
My current home desktop is an HP quad-core with 4G RAM and Vista 32 SP2+.
The software went on quickly and worked great! I could barely tell it was operating when scanning.
The MS performance meter showed only one core running the Anti-Virus. Way Cool!
Happy I got it!
