| Completely legit program. We fix 3-8 virus infected PCs/wk. NOD is the best anti-virus there is. unfortunately there are so many assholes out there making new malware that NOD does delay startup a bit, its scanning is the fastest of any we've used. Kaspersky is also good, but is slower - historically it detects more things, but they are not usually 'in the wild' virus threats. Both are massively superior to norton, macafee. AVG is cheaper - and not as good. OOPS This is turning into an AV review :( | |||

| What can i say about NOD32? Awsome! but it can't detect spyware, malware and adware. thats why i have 2 anti-virus. i Prefer AVG-anti spyware. NOD#@ for viruses and AVG-anti spyware for malicious files. | |||

| I was a bit concerned when i first saw this process. But after realising it was to do with NOD32 i knew i had nother to worry about, I have used NOD32 for years no and not once have i had a problem with it or has it let me down. To any of those people saying it's a memory/cpu hog. Either upgrade your system or learn how to configure software. Remember, computer's are the stupid one's. Not us! | |||

| Part of NOD32 - supposedly good AV program, but the 100% CPU usage is an incredible annoyance. As if you purchased a fast PC just to run NOD32 and nothing else! NOD32 used to be a good AV product, but not any more. They have failed to remedy the problem for almost a year. Just check their support forums at Wilder Security forums. | |||

| ekrn.exe 95% of my cpu for around 10 mintues. The funny thing is that when i installed it, i first removed nod32 v2 and installed nod32 v3 and it worked with no problems at all. Then I formatted my computer then i reinstalled nod32 v3 and now I get 95-100% cpu usage for the first 10 minutes or so. hmmmm is there any solotions for this. if i can't sort this out i'll go back to using zonealarm and nod32 v2 | |||
