virus scan and Nod32

Expand Post »
Hi,
My Nod 32 free trial run us almost up. Everytime I run it, it shows around 63000 files scanned. But if I do Panda online active scan it says it has scanned 100,000+ files. How is this so? No viruses showed up, but isn't it better if more files are scanned. I have to buy some anti virus program, and want low resource usage.
Thanks
George

Re: virus scan and Nod32

I haven't used Nod32 myself yet, but it's consistantly rated above all the others. Perhaps the 'paid-for' version has more options for deeper scanning?
