Nod32 antivirus verses On-line scanner

I run Nod32 antivirus on Win7 x64 pro,  I thought I'd do a scan for keyloggers not knowing if Nod32 detected these so. I thought I'd give the On-line scanner a try, this scan 'seemed'  to me to take longer. The end result came out clean after scanning the main drive and a storage drive.... am I wasting my time running both??

While here, does NOD32 detect keyloggers, not that any strange 'goings on' was happening just that I thought I'd do a scan for any?

Thanks, Dave

Unlike the ESET Online Scanner, ESET security products that are installed on a disk may detect more during an on-demand scan due to LiveGrid and pico updates that they support.

Sorry Marcos I'm still no wiser-:

Does  NOD32 antivirus detect keyloggers? Is what I wanted to know.

I take it from your comment that NOD32 antivirus once updated is just the same as this on-line scanner, 'if' this is the case then it is pointless having two on and will remove it.

Are you talking about the next version after this 16.1.14.0?

No I meant the next higher product level.

Network Attack Protection is an extension of the Firewall that improves the detection of exploits for known vulnerabilities at the network level. By implementing detections for common exploits in widely used protocols such as SMB, RPC and RDP, it constitutes another important layer of protection against spreading malware, network-conducted attacks and exploitations of vulnerabilities for which a patch has not yet been released or deployed.

There was talk I believe to include this with nod32 but don't think it ever happened. But I may have misheard that anyways.

I do think for this feature alone it is best to get the next level above nod32

The highest level of ESET's consumer product is ESET SMART SECURITY PREMIUM.
So he must have this protection correct?

The user has nod32 so no. The network protection is in everything above this
