NOD32 update files

[TomsCube]

I've read that NOD32 update files are very small - around 25K or so. I'm
using the trial version for WinXP, and every time I update the defs it's
around 1.5MB. I tried uninstalling & reinstalling and that didn't help.
Thanks!

you should buy the normal version.

That was about a stupid answer. AS a matter of fact, it wasn't an answer, it
was a stupid smart a**ed response, absolutely no help at all.

Actually it w a s the answer. The trial version downloads the full
update package each time. Retail version uses smaller packages.

If that was the answer, then my apologies, but it was kind of a curt answer.

Maybe I will, if I can be assured that the updates are not going to be 1.5MB
per day!! I'm willing to pay for AV software, otherwise I'd just use AVG.
I'm not willing, however, to have Symantec shove DRM down my throat.

Yikes, my first post in this group, and I'm starting a flame war. Thanks
for having my back though David!

Well, the signature files tend to be rarther small, sometimes 25 KB,
sometimes up to 150 KB, it depends on how often you update.
However, when the engine has to be updated, the download files *can* sum
up to 1 MB to 1.5 MB, but AFAIK this happens only once a month.

Purchased and installed the commercial version, and it works great.
Update was around 10K, after the first upate.
Scanning times are also pretty good. Thanks to all for the help.

Tom,

thanks for the reply - I have used NOD32 for quite a while now and I
believe it's worth the money - good choice.
