NOD32 is GREAT! When I was researching which new Anti-Virus to get (because Mcafee turned to crap-ware) I settled on NOD32. It was a dead-tie between Kaspersky Anti-Virus and NOD32. They both caught everything that was thrown at them in all the tests I could find, but NOD32 has a MUCH smaller foot print and is super light on the computers resources. (IMO Kaspersky is a little pricey too.) I think there has been an update pretty much everyday since I installed aswell. True NOD32 may not have an “Idiot-Proof” interface catering to the non-tech saavy, but I personally prefer it that way. Functionallity – Frills = Happy Coumputer Guy! As far as I know NOD32 does strictly Viruses though not spyware. In my experiences, a program that tries to do both, ends up doing niether very well(McAfee,Norton). Smart surfing will go a long, LONG way. I usually use a battery of spyware removal tools, most of which have been listed or mentioned here to clean off spyware (usually off of friends computers). Just my two cents though.

PS If memory serves, VundoFix specifically removes variants of the VirtuMundo virus. I did battle with that thing last year on a couple different boxes and it is a BEAAST! As far as I could tell VirtuMundo actively goes out and downloads more spyware onto systems (and who knows what else). None of the scanners could kill it and only two of them even Identified it…Found a couple different custom fixes (like the VundoFix listed above) and they ended up finally doing it in. Granted that was a while ago so the situation may have changed in regards to the scanner situation since then.

No personal experiece with this product... But you might want to read the review from PC World NOD32 has the best proactive protection by far, but its overall malware detection is second-tier, and it has an overly technical interface. Read more...

Do you have an opinion on ESET’s NOD32? Is it comprehensive enough?Thanks. Bill

Leonard, I don’t understand your problem…

AdAware, SpyBot Search and Destroy, and Windows Defender are the spyware tools Jay recommends, and they are all free.

AVG is the anti-virus, and it’s free.

I would personally add that everyone should be running a firewall. The one built in to XP is not good enough, IMHO.
I would suggest the free version of ZoneAlarm.

What might be confusing you, Leonard, is that the companies that make these programs usually have an advanced version that you have to buy.
Some sites can make it hard to find the free version, because they want you to buy the ‘full’ version. Just keep navigating, you’ll find the gold eventually!

I was having a nervous breakdown yesterday because of my computer problem. Found your column of January 04, 2007 got on http://www.atribune.org, downloaded VundoFix; completely corrected everything. ( I had found other “fixes’ previously that would temporarily alleviate the problem but it would immediately return. ) This one really fixed it.

Thank You so much.

We remove Spyware and all malware infections daily in our shop.

Someof the tricks we learned in removing any Malmare is,

#1. Update all your Malware Removal Tools (Anti-Spyware-Anti-Virus)

#2. Open all your hidden files

#.3 Shut off System restore (Malware can now hide in system restore on the disk)
Opening all hidden files allow your malware removal tools to scan hidden files, including System Restore Partition.

#4. Set your Hard Drive or drives to “Slave Drive” Settings (unplug your CD Player)

#5. Ready…Run the your Removal tools 2 times.

#. 6 If the system needs Tmp files and defraging
do this at the time your finished in safemode cleansing
your system.

7. now boot up, run all Microsoft Updates, Security Patches…
Have your MS updates Set to auto. down load the Upgraded Version of Internet Explorer 7.0 it is now almost a copy cat of Firefox (Which Microsoft Called Out for Help from Fire Fox)

We have had great luck with “Spydetector” and Ewido…
Plus for Anti-Virus we have been beta testing “Solo Anti-Virus” and Using of course AVG…and now beta testing AVAST.(Avast is more for 64 bit-like in Windows VISTA)

I have been playing with EWIDO, here at work, for about two months. There are two versions, an free online scanner and the downloadable 30-day trial version.
I have included EWIDO in my battery of anti-spyware tools because it does something MS Defender and Ad-Aware does not do, it scans the files used by Mozilla’s Firefox. Normally I use the online scanner and save the trial version to erradicate the tough little critters in safe mode.
