    PROOF that NOD32 v7 is a resource hog

    in ESET NOD32 Antivirus

    Posted

    We've made a comprehensive test of copying large avi files to an external USB 3.0 HDD on Windows 8.1 x64 but didn't find any difference in speed which was always about 111 MB/s regardless of whether v7 (with default settings) was installed or not. Did you have the hard disk connected to the computer during a boot or you connected it when Windows was already started?

    that external HDD is connected all the time

    I have not tweakd this installation of Windows 8.1 at all. all latest drivers were used.

     

    Another issue I was able to reproduce

     

    Go to Spades

     

    login with a microsoft account

     

    try to play a game, notice how choppy the card motion is with NOD32 installed. Before the installation of NOD32 the motion was liquid smooth.

     

    Now that I am using Webroot SecureAnywhere AV, I don't suffer from th choppiness / jerkiness anymore

     

    I am sorry that I had to take this decision, ESET's latest offering left me no choice.

     

    MY system is so fast now with WSA AV I feel like I bought a new laptop

    I've given up already and switched to webroot, it's like I bought a new PC, 0 performance impact.

     

    I use Pale Moon so no browser extension for me

     

     

    I bought the AV only not the firewall

     

    my system acts as if there is no AV!! PERFECT

     

    this thread can be closed. awaiting NOD32 v8 hope it reverts back to what it once was, a light decent AV that works

    no idea,

    I could care less what you think.

     

    Tweak ,

    You rarely say anything good or constructive in these forums.

    You always use vulgar language and you are very unprofessional.

    You have never said anything good about ESET or its software.

     

    I was going to test your bogus accusations on file transfer and re-post here, but that is off my table now, its not worth it.

    Good luck to you and webroot.

     

    Requesting a mod shut this thread down, there is nothing good or constructive in it.

    Let's move on.

     

    And by move on , to customers who actually need some assistance, which is what these forums are for.

    Not slander by Tweak Arena.

    like you say anything useful Mr. blind ESET fanboy.

     

    I am a fair person, if a product does well, I post good threads about it on all forums. But the fact is, NOD32 v7 has been the buggest NOD32 in history and the heaviest. if you don't face the issues I am facing, 1) good for you OR 2) you may have not did any comparisons to see

     

    anyway, since you don't like me, please refraine from entering or posting in my threads

     

    I post a thread about the AV then you come here like a child saying "32 GB on a laptop? hehehe" what a kid

    32 GB of ram in a laptop ?

    Hahaha

     

    slightly off-topic

    Arakasi, your reply is not helpful - please have a look at the specs of the laptop: hxxp://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/ASUS_ROG_G750JX/#specifications

    The site clearly states, that 32 GB RAM is the maximum RAM possible.

     

    thank you

     

    yes I've reported his irrelevant post to this thread. The laptop comes with 24 GB by default so I added another 8 GB stick to make use of Dual Channel Memory across all channels rather than just the first 2 DIMMs . It was operating in the new Intel Flex Mode which makes the first 2 SODIMMS run @ Dual Channel memory speed and the 3rd SODIMM at Single Rate channel. So I added another identical RAM SODIMM to have dual channel across all channels.

     

    And why do you care Araksi? I'm surprised by your response. This is a gaming laptop after all

    Tweak Arena...You don't have Advanced Heuristics enabled for real-time scanning do you?

     

     AH for real-time scanning is disabled by default. But enabled for "on execution" by default of course.

    no bro all settings on default except I removed the start up scan on every reboot and kept the start up file system scan on each successful update

     

    On Windows 7 this slowness is not there but I am forced to use Windows 8.1 on this laptop due to buggy drivers in Windows 7 from ASUS

     

    Regarding addons on Pale Moon, all I have is Ad Block Edge which is a lighter version of AdBlock Plus, LastPass, and XMARKS, the problem is not in the addons as the slowness only happens when I install NOD32 not because of any addons.

     

    Check the specs of my laptop man:

     

    ASUS G750JX-CV050H

    CPU: i7-4700HQ @ 2.40 GHz.

    Memory: 32 GB DDR3 1600 MHz. Hynix RAM

    Graphics: GeForce GTX 770M 3 GB GDDR5 RAM

    Storage: 256 GB LiteOn LCM-256M3S SSD + 1 TB Seagate Momentus ST1000LM024 5400 RPM HDD

    Screen: 17.3" Full HD 3D Glossy Screen

    OS: Windows 8.1 Pro (x64)

    bro that file is just an example, I can confirm that this happens with ANY large file I copy.

     

    The concept you mentioned sounds great, and I wish it worked that way, but in reality, I am seeing a huge difference when copying large files and I can tell you it's every single file because my torrents usually download to my downloads folder which is on the local HDD in the laptop, I then move them always from the HDD to the external USB drive so I know for a fact this is the case for every single large file.

     

     

    Why don't you while having NOD32 installed and running try to grab a large video file from your HDD and copy it to an external USB 3.0 HDD and see for yourself

     

    And in this example, it is opposite to what you are saying, because as we see the NERO Content pack was being copied at 100+ MB/S and the video file copied at around 40 MB/S

     

    if what you said was true, then the video file should have copied at least at the same speed or near if not faster than the NERO file since the video file should not be scanned until it is fully copied to the destination.

     

    so why am I seeing a difference? and what about the slow internet browsing?

     

    This remind me of the old days of when you installed Kaspersky Internet Security and your web browsing speed crawled to death

    NOD32 used to be the king of light AVs, every version kept getting crappier and crappier until the horrible and buggy v7 was released! heck, the Beta was even more stable and lighter than the final version!

     

    I kept complaining here that my internet is slower and fily copy operations were slow but I was asked for proof...well here is before and AFTER of copying a big file from my HDD to my external USB 3.0 1 TB Western Digital Driver

     

     

    Without NOD32 installed I get around 100 to 110 MB/S

     

    With NOD32 installed I get between 30 to 40 MB/S

     

    I have the latest Windows 8.1 updates, NOD32 v7.0.302.26 (x64) done on a clean Windows 8.1 installation with no previous AV present

     

    Someone please tell ESET that when you try to improve something that was perfectly fine so much, you end up fuxoring up the product!

     

    Last good NOD32 I've used was really NOD32 v4, after that, each version kept getting heavier

     

    and what's ironic is, my Kaspersky Internet Security which was known to be the heaviest AV/Internet Security in the world, is wayyyy lighter than NOD32 and I don't face these performance issues with it

     

    I cannot prove how slow my internet is but using Pale Moon without NOD32, when I click on a bookmark icon from the bookmarks toolbar, the page loads instantly, after NOD32 is installed, when I click on an icon, Pale Moon sits there for 3 to 5 seconds before it decides to visit the page! go figure ESET! The Funny thing is that I only have NOD32 installed! god knows what ESS users suffer from or maybe they just don't realize how fast their system/internet CAN be without ESS

     

    and please ESET fanboys, don't jump at me telling it's my system I'm a professional system tweaker and perfectionist that I create an image using Macrim Reflect before installing anything major so I can roll back if something bad happens

    Thank god I took an image using Macrium Reflect of the point before installing the AV, I now restored the image, installed NOD32 using the offline installer, and I got the same error message while trying to activate!

     

    Someone please help

    How to install NOD32 v4 and disable auto update?

    in ESET NOD32 Antivirus

    Posted

    Since there no program component updates (pcu) are released for v4, you basically don't need to do anything. If you want to make sure that no pcu is downloaded, you can disable them in the advanced update setup.

    Anyways, we'd prefer to help you troubleshoot your issues than downgrade to v4 which doesn't provide as good protection as v7 and it doesn't use cloud whitelisting so it repeatedly scans files that v7 doesn't.

    ok then, what I don't like about 7 is that I feel my internet is slower like uTorrent downloads for example.

     

    Another thing I notice is while copying large files is a bit slower than with another AV such as avast!.

     

    In the past, the one thing I loved about NOD32 is that when you install it you don't even feel you have an AV installed.

     

    I also don't like the fact that people here recommend to disable HIPS and a few other things, if I want to disable all these things, then what's the point of installing NOD32 v7? might as well just stick to 4 right?

     

    please advice
