Another security tip guide.. for NOD32 :)
NOD32 has the best detection in the industry, and protects against 95ore new and evolving threats than McAfee, Symantec and Trend Micro (AV-Comparatives.org). »More« \"A solid anti-malware offering, protecting against viruses, worms, spyware and adware. The lightweight footprint of NOD32 belies its reach - it goes onto both desktops and laptops without placing a burden on storage or system performance.\" Curtis Franklin, Jr. Network Computing (06/23/05) NOD32 is the world leader of the Virus Bulletin 100wards having won more awards than any competing product. \"As usual, NOD32 reached a high level of detection that brought another VB 100ward to its collection,\" wrote Matt Ham of Virus Bulletin. Tips on setting up NOD32: Nod32 can do wonders if you know how to use it. This following section will show you a simple way to get it to do everything without it bothering you with a question when something comes up: First, download the trial if you want to try first. Click here to be taken to the Eset website. Click Download on the top bar. It will take you to the download section. Choose the version appropriate to you. Assuming you speak English , choose your Operating System at the top. International vesions are, however, avilable if you scroll down. You are downloading a full version of the program. The only difference is this is a timed basis (30 days). Install it. Double click the icon once installed. Start with the first button **AMON**: Click it. Now, on the right click Setup. Go to Options, and make sure everything on this page is checked. Then go to the Actions tab. Click clean automatically. next button **DMON**: Click Setup. Everything in this tab needs to be checked except System list all files. Now, the important part which you will be repeating on the other buttons: Click the Actions tab . Under Actions, there is a drop-down menu that says Files. Click the button that says Clean which will open the right side, which basically means: If I can't clean it then what? Which means the file is not an infected file, per se. It is only a virus or malware/spyware file. Then hit the Delete bullet on the right side so clean/delete are the options now if it finds a bad file. Next - Archives: Clean/Delete Self-extracting Archives: Clean/Delete Run-time Packers: Clean/Delete Hit OK Now **EMON**: Click Setup then on the detection line, check everything. Then on the actions line, repeat DMON actions (see step above). Leave everything else. Hit OK. Now **IMON**: Click Setup. Click the HTTP tab, then make sure Automatically Deny Download of File is checked. In the misc. tab, this may be useful for you if your computer has been hijacked. Click the Repair Now button if you have problems. This will fix connectivity spyware that re-routes your IP. Down at the bottom click Setup under the Scanner section: Again everything checked except List all files Then on the Actions tab, we repeat again the step above, except there is one extra option here called E-mail which we do Clean/Delete as well because if it comes with an attached virus, it will remove it. If it can't remove it, and it's based in the body of the E-mail, it will delete. Then hit OK and OK again. Now click the NOD32 button on the left then the Run NOD32 button on the right. This is the actual scanner interface. Generally here you will end up clicking Scan and Clean. It will default to select C: as the scanning target. First, click the Setup tab. Check everything. You will be prompted when you check advanced heuristics. This is fine.Click Yes/Ok. Then the Actions tab. Files will be Clean/Delete Boot sectors will be Clean/Replace Archives are Clean/Delete Ditto until you get to E-mail - Clean/No Action (it will remove the file if you attempt to download an attached bad file). Same thing with E-mail folders - Clean/No action. And finally, Operating Memory - No Action. Like I said, it will remove on restart Now, hit quit. It will prompt you to Save Settings. Comply and hit Run Nod32. Again, go to the Actions tab, and make sure changes were saved. If they were, congrats, you're good to go. Run the scanner and it will get you clean as a whistle. You will not have to worry about anything on your computer getting infected again. If it didn't, re-run last steps up to Click Nod32.
