| When moving files from one drive to another (40 Gig of small files) it slows down the proces. It takes 50% resources and moving takes 1-2 hrs. Disabling virusscanning from ESET speeds it up to only 29 seconds. That is too much resource for a virus scanner | |||

| I would like to know what the differences are between people who have a great experience with NOD32 and people who have problems. It has more setup options than some AVs. That might be part of it. (personally I like having more options.) | |||

| A pig for CPU. Currently taking up about 60%!!! I'm going back to Avast! I've been using that for a long long time. People said NOD was good, so I thought I'd try it. Well, I won't be recommending it. Use Avast AV, A Shampoo Firewall and AVG Anti-Spyware and you'll be home and dry. | |||
