I've used NOD32 for at least 15 years. Last year when I was running v8, I noticed that it continued to install point release updates, telling me I was completely up to date -- when v9 had already been released. This morning I got a point release to v9.0.408.0 and I got curious. Sure enough, I learned there was a v10 released a few weeks ago and I wonder why the internal update didn't upgrade me? I grabbed the installer and now have v10.0.369.0 which it seemingly wouldn't have provided to me. How come? I get that some people don't want early new versions, but you'd think it would've given me the opportunity?

Glad I stopped by and saw this - my license runs out next week. I was seriously looking at different competitors and two of the top ones seem to perform well, but both had tons of complaints about support, billing errors, file problems and so on. ESET's been good to me so I'll just keep on truckin' with a known, good company.

Test System: Win7 64-bit Windows Live Mail Version 2012 (Build 16.4.3505.0912) NOD32 Antivirus v6 was already existing on the system. I had to revert back to v.6 from the first beta due to email client problems. I installed the newer NOD32 v7.0.104.0 on top of v6 and it installed correctly. After about two weeks of use, I'm happy to report that the email bug is gone. Everything else is nominal.

Windows 7 64-bit NOD32 v7.0.28.0 WLM Version 2012 (Build 16.4.3505.0912) Got a new bug: Microsoft Windows Live Mail (the software client, not the web mail) has been freezing and crashing quite a bit (as in, every time I run it) ever since I installed v7 over v6. I turned off email scanning in NOD32 and - voila'! Troubles are gone. V6 wasn't causing any trouble before. Edit: definitely confirmed. I may have to go back to v6 because it locks up my email 100% of the time now. Is ESET reading this board?

Test System: Win7 64-bit NOD32 Antivirus v6 was already existing on the system. Success: The v7 Antivirus install uninstalled v6 successfully, and accepted my existing NOD32 registration. Bug: The first scan progress bar showed "almost completed" for at least 5 hours while scanning about 650 gigs. The popup scanning window view showed 99% completed the entire time. Issue: The same first scan results showed me one "threat found", but I had no easy way of telling what or where it was while the scan continued to run for hours. The next day I found the filtering buried in the controls. The threat was a .part file - a partially downloaded file that I'm fairly sure NOD v6 stopped previously. The UI during the scan should have a way to immediately handle the issue (surprisingly, it did not put it into the quarantine either). I manually deleted it simply by running CCleaner real quick in an effort to hurry up the long NOD32 scan by removing a bunch of browser cache files. Issue: While this first scan was running, the system was markedly slower. It ran much longer than I expected. Issue: After a few days of use, seems like the system is busy a lot, the disk drives are busy doing something when nothing is going on. My email software is responding slower than it was under NOD v6 Investigating, I see EKRN.EXE being active a lot too. It just feels slower. Edit: email troubles cropped up; posted second message later in this thread.
