Hello, I'm using NOD32 v2.7, this version is really outdated but I really dislike v3.x, I was wondering about move to AVira Antivir, but It lack some features like real-time internet scan, compared to Nod32 v2.7 its a stepback in security?

Thank you very much.

I don't quite get the thread title, NOD32 IS an antivirus.
I dislike v3 too, but it still IS good one, so... It's much more complex than v2, so no surprise it's bigger, more resources-hungry etc.... But there barely is something that'd do the job better.

Well, I don't see what you don't like with v3. Interface is much better, and easier to use. And I did not notice that it uses more resource, I only noticed that it's much more responsive and faster in scanning. I can't remember how much memory v2.7 used, but this one uses 23MB on my system (both process counted), and for me this is very low. CPU usage is also very low, I never seen it going above 02. On-demand scan, of course uses more memory and CPU, but it's really fast. I needed about 3 hours to scan 600GB of files.

Cheers

If your paying for NOD32, then you have to buy Avira to compare the two. The paid version of Avira does have a Web Guard(real time for browser) protection module.
