Barry,
Can you just install the trial then add a key if you decide to buy, or
do you have to uninstall and install again? If you uninstall NOD32, do
you get a clean uninstall - with no traces left behind?

It does when you look at the real awards.
****Soapbox ahoy*******
I use NOD32 here.
To view some of it's awards
http://www.nod32.com/news/awards.htm
To view an aarticle a few years old but my understanding is that the
practice continues on uneducated and biased reviews read,
NOD32 trashed by CNet Review !!!
http://www.nod32.com.au/nod32/awards/cnet_zdnet.htm
Since dabbling with Mcafee, Norton, AVG, Panda, PC Cillin to name but a
few
over the years I've used IBM's I've personally never used anything like
this
thing.
I've seen and talked to friends and professionals, by professionals I
mean
security consultants and high level Network Admins in corporate IT
industry
about this product and those that have tryed it haven't looked back.
I have even had the pleasure once myself of going to a clients house
with a
trial of NOD32 and clearing up their system by allowing it to perform an
indepth scan on the system, watch it clean and delete infected files and
have their system back up and running perfectly without a format or
Windows
repair. This perticular person was running Mcafee btw and their
definitions
where up to date.
I was more than happy with my AVG untill I ran NOD32 on my system and
found
7 dormint trojans I hadn't a clue where there and I don't mean buried in
that messy nest of system restore archives either. Right there in
system32.
I like many thought AVG was doing agood job because my system hadn't
keeled
over. (A behaviour often we associate with the presence of a virus).
However, the meer fact that trojans where on my system and my anti-virus
package didn't catch them gave me cause to re-consider what I was using.
Now, this all said. I will be honest in that my girlfriend uses AVG at
the
moment because she cant' aford NOD as she's currently unemployed. Being
a
bit of a geek and anal (with the home user in mind), about computer
security
as I am I have cautioned her on this but I'm satasfied that untill such
time
she purchases and installs NOD32 she's still partially being protected.
I'm not trashing other anti-virus programs in a way that suggests don't
use
them because I still believe even though many of the others do not meet
the
stringent tests NOD32 does you are still in one way protecting yourself
and
others, if not to the best you can at least to a degree.
NOD32's about £27 for the years subscription and you can also get a
trial
from it.
You can fidn out more about NOD32 at
