NOD 32 versus Vet

[Andrew W]

Hello

I've been trying NOD 32 from a computer magazine CD ROM. I've been trying it
on both Windows 98SE and Windows NT4 Server. I've noticed it's good at
picking up viruses while downloading emails.

My employer has some sort of license with Vet anti virus that allows us
employees to download the Vet software and updates for use at home. There
are Vet downloads, on the intranet, for versions that will cover both
Windows NT4 Server and Windows 98SE.

Which would be a better choice, NOD32 or Vet?

Thanks

Vet is good at stopping viruses too.
Most of my customers use it and they rarely get infected as long as they
keep it up to date.
I haven't used nod32.

If you can get Vet for free choose it. It is a good and reliable
anti-virus program, not outstanding but it will not leave you in
trouble either.

There are different ways to attack the malware in email problem.
Probably the best way, is to delete unwanted or suspicious mail at the
server, before it's downloaded to your computer. In that case, email
scanning for malware would be unnecessary. There are programs out there
that will let you do this.

If you compare them, they are both good at detecting viruses and worms,
at least as far as the ITW variety. Both have a good reputation for
support.

Ok, so quality is taken care of, now, look at cost. Sounds like, for
you, Vet AV would cost nothing, since it's licensed to you as an
employee for home use. I have a similar situation with SAV CE, which I
have installed on two of my systems.

If it were me, I'd take the money I would spend on NOD and buy a good
email filtering program, to filter mail at the server. Then I'd download
Vet, for risk reduction purposes. After all, AV is merely for insurance
purposes if you're practicing safe computing.

Now, if you'll enclose $ 50.00 in an envelope and address it to: Optikl

Vet or NOD32??? If you want the best protection go NOD32 if you want to save
money and take risks go VET. mind you one guy said his clients use VET and
only occasionally get infected, (that's scary) I like NOD32 because it
updates easily every hour on default and you just don't get infected. It's
that easy

I use NOD32
