[GIVEAWAY] ESET NOD32 Antivirus
 

Sure, this won't be the most exciting giveaway ever, but it can help secure your PC. The company I work for partners with ESET, makers of the NOD32 Antivirus product. They've given me 10 one-year subscriptions to their NOD32 Antivirus product to give away here at Colony of Gamers. All you have to do to enter is make a post about the Antivirus you currently use and we'll draw ten winners at 8 PM Central on Sunday, May 13th.

I'm currently using Vipre. I used to use NOD32, but I decided I'd rather not pay.

NOD32! But my sub ran out 2 years ago and I can't be affording to plunk down on such luxuries :o

Previously used Eset... now using Bitdefender Plus 2012.

I was using Avast, but they annoyed the heck out of me with their stupid renewal notices. Then I tried Webroot which seems nice, but I let the trial expire. Now I have nothing...it's like going commando with a kilt.

My antivirus is common sense...

I guess it wouldn't hurt to have a real antivirus along with it.

I use AVG Free because subscriptions stink!

AVG Free here as well.

I use Microsoft Security Essentials on my PC and nothing on my notebook, because Linux.

I use AVAST here. I had the pro version for a year, but lack the disposable income to renew right now, and naturally in the day between when the pro version went inactive and I switched back to the free version I caught a browser-redirect trojan, resulting in a couple of days spent running various virus killers.

So, yeah... I could a new pro anti-virus. =]

Microsoft Security Essentials! The cold sore is unrelated I think.

Avast. Because it got some good rankings and it's free.

I use VirusScan Enterprise 8.8 given to me by my job. Can't recall my last virus although I'm not looking around the gutter for porn, wares, and what not.

Used to use AVG Free, but currently using MS Security Essentials. Wouldn't mind a beefy one for a year for free. :D

AVG is what I use. Not the free edition. I guess it's worked fine thus far.

Fsecure here it comes free with my internet.

Superantispyware and malware bytes

Currently using Avast Free but have heard great things about NOD32. Would love to try it.

Surprised by the variety so far. I use Avast, but install MSE on machines for people.

Non-Mac machine MSE. I've found that to be good enough. I've tried others but they end up being a pain in the chip.

AVG free. That and common sense internet habits keep me out of trouble most of the time.

I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials, I think it works... or I never do things that will give my laptop/desktop viruses...(that I know of)

The only real thing that annoys me about Avast is it can be overzealous and difficult to set an exemption for the file scanner to dodge a false positive.

Been using Avira for years, minimal ads, never really had a reason to change

Not entering the contest - just want to say great job on getting this Curt!

I was a believer in AVG Free for a very long time, but it started to get more resource-hungry, so I tried Microsoft Security Essentials and it works like a charm.

Also not entering the contest...

Microsoft Security Essentials!

I've been using Microsoft Security Essentials lately. The product wasn't that solid to begin with but it has gotten much better and I've found it the least intrusive of those I've used.

Used to use Webroot at home (helped in large part by picking up a HUGE discount on a bulk set @ Amazon), but switched to MSE when the subs finally ran out. We use ESET at work, tho'. :)

AVG. It is a resource hog.

On Windows, Avira. On Mac ClamXAv. On Linux, nothing.

Please use Microsoft Security Essentials! It's by far the best and most unobtrusive anti-virus/malware software out there that your money can buy... and it's free.

If any of you are running anything like AVG, McAfee or Norton, do yourself a favor and immediately uninstall it and install MSE. You're user experience will shoot through the roof, things will open faster, things will download faster and your games will see a boost in FPS.

I used to run without any Anti-virus solution for most of my PC using history, until MSE came along, because everything else out there was such crap and made gaming and simple things like browsing the internet unbearable on a sub-optimal PC.

NOD32 is great btw, but in my experience MSE is just better.

I use Microsoft Security Essentials. I've tried all the others, but I only trust MS to not do something weird to my OS that affects stability.

More fool me, I guess. :D I say that because a few weeks ago I was hit by a NASTY bit of malware that totally disable my Firewall and security services, and hijacked my HOSTS file. Even though MSE was not affected, it DID NOT FIND A DAMN THING WRONG! Had to use Spybot Search & Destroy.

So yeah, bring on the ESET, I could use a win!

Malware and rootkits are very interesting and often times missed totally my AV solutions.

Indeed, my base installation includes Avira, Malware-Bytes (ran on demand), and I have a copy of HiJack-this always handy. I don't always prevent infections, but I typically manage to clean them without a wipe *knocks on wood*

Avast and MBAM (free), and occasion checking with Combofix.

I used AVG but it became too bloated.
I tried Microsoft's AV program but it stopped working once it hit a file in /windows32.
Maybe the third AV program is the charm.

At work we have something called Forefront client that we install on select users computers. I was tempted to to install it on my home computer and test it out. But VirusScan does the job. Memory hog at times.

I am prepping the PDFs for you today and will have them out this evening via PM to download. Congratulations to our winners!

(All numbers picked completely at random by random.org. Yes, staff were eligible to win, as this was a giveaway facilitated not by CoG but by a vendor of the company that I work for.)

I use AVG free as well. Don't count me in for the competition though, as my work VPN won't work with that new anti-virus, so I can't use it anyway.

Awesome. Thanks guys!

Congrats guys..

Well, I'm one of those that won. I'm going to have to find a place to use it now. Thanks, as Eletro said, MSE is not fool proof.

Awesome! Whoa, I won something on this site, but only due to another member declining his victory. That seems somewhat appropriate. :p

Thanks Mot Wakorb, and thanks PathMaster. Hopefully my next year will be virus-free. :D

Congrats to the original winners and to shunoshi as well.

Thanks for running the contest.

Nooo, I r loser. Heh, congrats to the winners.

Whoo. I just saw i won. I never win shit, this is great;)
