Darren,
Not only do you sound sarcastic, I suspect that you also wanted to sound
that way too!
The reason that I haven't personally read all that is on offer on the
website is because I had been specifically told by a sighted, competent
computer user friend that there was no mention of this on the website - if
he's got it wrong so be it. It had also been the same answer that had
apparently been circulating on the RNIB Techie list i.e. that NOD32 did not
deal with the problem. I also had been told on this list previously that
the software did not cope with this kind of malicious software. I think
that these combined are probably reason enough not to go randomly reading
the website.
Having found the check box in the options, the whole purpose of raising the
question again was to make sure that the members of the list were all
properly informed one way or other. I suspect that you'll find that there
are a few list members out there who will very much appreciate the news that
NOD32 does indeed cope.
Kindest of regards (without the slightest hint of sarcasm),
Jamie

I don't want to sound sarcastic, but surely reading the info on offer at
the nod32 website would answer your questions?

All,
I know that I asked this question several weeks ago and received a number of
definite answers but I am now beginning to doubt whether those answers are
correct or not.
I had asked whether or not NOD32 software did or did not deal with spyware
and adware. The answer at the time appeared to be a definite "No".
However, since then I have discovered, in the Options tab of every module of
the software a check box that is entitled "Adware, spyware, Riskware". This
to me would imply that the software does indeed handle this kind of risk
contrary to my previous understanding.
Indeed, on top of this, I tried a Google search for "NOD32" this evening and
the first hit was "Antivirus Software - Eliminate Spyware and Adware with
NOD32 ..." which again would indicate that the software does deal with these
other threats.
Can anyone out there give a definitive answer to this or are there different
versions of NOD32 that are capable of doing different things?
If no-one is sure, I'll try to get in touch with the technical support
people. If I now have an accessible anti virus, anti spyware, anti adware
software I'll be really chuffed. If it's just anti virus, it's still
better, in my opinion, than Norton anyway but I'll need to find something to
deal with the other threats.
Any further thoughts to this would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Jamie
