NOD32 slowing my PC down?

I installed NOD32 (v205) on my PC, and ever since doing so my machine seems
to grind to a halt for a few seconds when accessing various programs or
trying to do certain tasks. Opening up a dialog box that may show me a list
of files for instance; sometimes there is a delay of around 5-6 seconds
before the files start to get displayed.

There are a lot of settings I'm not sure I understand fully on this program
so I wonder if anyone can give me some tips on what might be causing the
problem and how to fix it?

I know it is NOD32 that is causing it because if I uninstall it everything
works fin.

I also installed NOD32 sometime back and have experinced some delays as
well, I finally figured out that NOD32 will update whenever there is
something to update. This is both good and bad in the fact that I no
longer have to worry about going to a site and downloading on a regular
basis. It is a pain at times but worth it (hopefully).

Also what OS are you running? How much memory? What CPU?

You can turn off auto update and check daily for a manual update.

I may have mislead you in the fact that "bottom line" I have no problem
with NOD32 updating whenever.I switched from Norton to obtain a better
security and so far, have not regreted my decision.

here you can see what postings/repostings with "|" mixed with regular
">" produces confused quotinglines. Please, think about configuring your
OE for ">". Thanks.

1. You think NAV is better than NOD32?

2. NIS is renowned for slowing machines down, NOD32 isn't.

I think you have something else on your machine that is/was the problem,
other than NOD32.

YMMV

The problem is not the use of different cite-marks, but rather the way
OE breaks quoted lines. This gets worse as the levels get deeper.
Easily fixed, even without special add-ons for OE.

thanks Ant. Hopefully **Chas, David H. Lipman (often poster) and some
other guys also find their solution concerning quoting?

I think you meant to reply to the original poster. I don't have any
problems with NOD32, other than their surprise updates. Perhaps you
didn't read my post clearly.

With that much HP under the hood, you should never notice NOD32 unless
there is some spyware/malware bogging the system down.

I don't keep my systems running continuously. I frequently need to do a
quick search on the Net and don't have time to wait for software to
phone home for updates that's why I do manual updates.
