]]> Comment on Jay Lee’s Patented Spyware Removal System by Coltonis http://www.geekradio.com/2006/06/26/jay-lees-patented-spyware-removal-system#comment-8632 Coltonis Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:53:55 +0000 http://www.geekradio.com/2006/06/26/jay-lees-patented-spyware-removal-system/#comment-8632 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. NOD32 is GREAT!
