Re: ESET NOD32 or ESET Smart Security?


Thanks for the help everyone. I have NOD32 running and it seems to be
working great. When I initially set up my Vista I opted out of setting
up the Norton AV that came with the computer, so it seemed like the
Un-install of Norton was pretty easy since it didn't have a chance to
branch into my computer.

I did have a glitch with my wireless connection, but it only took me 10
minutes to figure out. Unlike XP, Vista wanted a specific WEP key; so I
couldn't just choose 1 of the 4 at random. All I had to do was dial
into my modem from my laptop and see which # key was selected as the
preference. However I did notice this morning that Windows Update had
an updated driver for my wireless card; the pre-installed driver was
6/2007 and the new driver came out in 2/2008 so I updated it? not sure
if that would have made a difference with the WEP thing though, but who
knows..

Also, I was pleased to find that HP provided a boot-disc creation
software. Although it's not like Acronis, the boot discs will only
restore the computer to its factory settings (like boot discs that come
with most computers). So I'm going to do that, and I will get Acronis 11
once I have my PC set-up with my normal every day software.

This site is awesome. Everyone should read threads on here before
buying Vista. I was careful NOT to plug in any devices that weren't
Vista compatible and didn't have any problems with my set-up.

I have a 750GB hard drive that I'm NEVER going to fill up? so I'm going
to read up on what exactly 'partitioning' is because I think I can
partition maybe 200GB of it and use that space for PC backups (not sure
if that?s how this stuff works but will find out). I have a 500GB WD
external drive but did not plug it in yet because the manual does not
list Vista as an OS- So I'll be going to the WD website to see what the
deal is.

In either event, thanks again everyone!
