Favorite Feature Vista Opinion
Feb 17, 2010The favorite feature about Vista on my opinion is the Aero that it has. It creates a more visual look on the window and makes the graphics look better.

Apr 30, 2009I was just going to post and see if anyone has heard of anything about Nero recently, or anything about there programs having viruses..
I've had the same Nero 7 now on 3 different computers. I got it FREE Nero 7 Premium a while back. (I don't remember why) but it is NOT illegal, it is not hacked with a keygen or something like that, that a free AV program would find as a false positive. It's just a normal Nero 7 Premium.
I've ran the same NOD32 on this computer for over a year now, with the same Nero 7 and never had a problem. but this morning I woke up to an Error, and a Virus Warning. Threat Detected in my Nero folders. something about cad/0060H795.cad or something like that.
It gave me the option to clean, and or delete. I cleaned it. But this is the first attack my current BIG RIG has ever had. So I just want to look into it to be safe.
Do Activate The New Firewall (Windows) Before Or After I Install NOD32?
Jan 26, 2009I've got a new Dell laptop that came with bundled McCaffrie (sp?) AV and firewall. I want to install NOD32, and it's my understanding that I have to unistall the existing AV first. do I activate the new firewall (Windows) before or after I install NOD32? I am obviously new and clueless to computers and security issues.

Feb 25, 2009Sometimes when I install drivers I get the message that my BIOS is out of date (including updates from AMD) if I go to the Phoenix site it says go to the motherboard manufacturer or run Biosagent if you use this you pay for the update but you do get this info so is it worth e-mail gateway support, using the boisagent or just leave well alone.

Aug 30, 2009I downloaded Nod32 which is a virus protection program. I scanned my computer while I was asleep. The program cleaned my computer and everything worked fine. I use a program called xfire which is a messenger program kind of like MSN or AIM. A few hours after the scan was completed I tried to launch xfire. I got this error: "Com Initialization Failed" That is all that the error window says, and the window is simply titled "Error". Once I close the error window the program does show up in my task bar, however it seems to be slightly greyed out. When I right click its icon on the task bar the drop down menu comes up but is entirely blacked out. There is no text or anything it is all black. When i click something in the menu a new error comes up and kind of flashes on my screen, but has no text and not even a title. It is just a small blank window that flashes and then goes away. After that xfire disappears from my taskbar.
When I launch the program after the "Com initialization failed' error comes up and is closed, a strange box appears on my screen. I can only see it on my wallpaper, it doesn't show up on top of other programs. It is a white rectangle that is quite small. Maybe 120 x 40 and in the center of this rectangle is a very very small light blue square. To the left of the light blue square is a larger grey square. I have never seen an error like this before and have no idea what caused it. Other people on the xfire forums have had the same error, but I have tried all of the suggestions on those forums and nothing has worked. I assume nod32 changed something in my settings because xfire always worked prior to installing nod32. I did, however, uninstall nod32, and that did not fix the problem. And yes I am running as administrator.
ESET NOD32 Or ESET Smart Security?
Jul 2, 2008I just got a new computer with Vista 64 (SP1 included) and want a good AV and AS program. When spending $900+ for a computer, I don't mind spending $40/year for good protection (less then the price of a Big Mac per month)?
From the reading I've done everyone has been recommending ESET NOD32, which seems like the best protection + the least amount of Vista compatibility issues. When I checked out the website I saw that ESET has an upgraded version out that includes AS software. From my knowledge, NOD32 is just AV and I would then have to find a good AS program too right? Where as ESET Smart Security includes NOD32 and AS features. Looking for feedback & suggestions. Most of the threads that come up when I search are people who want "free" software? I want "great" software and have learned that the two terms often don't come hand-in-hand; especially when dealing with Vista!
