I've been using NOD32 for a few years now through XP, Vista and it will be the one I'll use when I put Windows 7 on here.
I'll stick with the built in firewall unless I have problems and if I do I might go back to the rest of the time with my purchase of Online Armor, if they have a compatible version for Windows 7
Now after restarting that other system again, it can connect to the shared folder. There really is no way to tell if it will work or not. Argh...
The ESET firewall kinda sucks. Which version of ESS do you have? I m running v 4.0.437 and have no problem using it. You are on a lower version, update to the latest and see the change.
I mean to say that the firewall sucks on previous versions of ESS but in the latest version, they have fixed it. Still, many people are using ESS 3.
Indeed.
At first I had some problems with ESET (It let in some viruses) But after configuring ESET and turning on advanced heuristics its really rock-solid. I use it on all my PC's!
Its pretty nice isnt it. it so solid I almost dont even t hink abt it

yeah, this was my issue. It would work one day and not the next. As we have a businesses licence at work i have had it on all my PC's at home as well and until i went W7 i had no issues at all but then i started having all sorts of connection problems and errors. Tired it on new installs with the same results.
Im happy with W7 firewall anyway now and i use MSE for AV but i will go back to Eset once the problems are ironed out.
