[MAD1]

[Charlie]

What OS are you using? XP or Vista?

[MAD1]

Im using Vista Home premium

[Smduff]

what internet/antivirus security are you using?

[MAD1]

New computer still using the norton it came with, but will go to norton 360 as soon as the trial period is over

[ReadMeToo]

Do you have Daemon Tools or Alcohol , Nero ImageDrive installed????? any other Virual drive on your system?

You want some sound advice stay away from Norton 360.

Number 0ne removed software that causes PC problems in my business!!!

[Charlie]

Would you rather have 2 free programs that are just as good if not better? I really try to keep our users here from buying what I would call crap in my personal opinion?

[Smduff]

I would go with nod32 instead of norton. I like norton but it is a program that is bloated if you are not experianced with the tricks of trimming the fat it will cause more problems than it is worth, like charlie said there are also some free programs out there but I have bad experiances with them myself, like I said at first NOD32 is the best in my opion.

The Best Antivirus Solution for 2006 and 2007


AV-Comparatives named ESET the "Best Antivirus Product" the last two years as they know it's proactive, precise technology (http://www.eset.com/products/compare_heuristic_detection.php) –not brand names–that stops malware. And ESET NOD32 Antivirus is the best virus protection available.

Compare Antivirus Software


Direct comparisons with other antivirus solutions tell the story better than we ever could.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus consistently proves itself to be the best antivirus software, clearly ranking higher in detection, size and speed when compared to its competitors.

Compare antivirus solutions and see what happens when ESET goes up against Symantec, McAfee Trend and more. Discover why ESET is the most proactive, precise, lightweight and fast solution—and the best choice for home and business use.

Best Antivirus Software for Detecting and Eliminating Known and Evolving Threats


Approximately 80% of threats discovered by ESET are proactively detected using ThreatSense® heuristics (http://www.eset.com/products/compare_heuristic_detection.php) . For example, all variants of MyDoom, Netsky, Bagle and Mytob were detected heuristically—well before other vendors had issued a signature.
When it comes to "In-the-Wild," virus detection, no one beat even comes close, as the following chart illustrates.http://www.eset.com/images/Missed-In-the-Wild-Viruses.jpg

Over the past nine years, ESET has collected 48 VB100 awards (http://www.virusbtn.com/)—more than any other vendor.

http://www.eset.com/images/VB-tests-passed.jpg

Due to its highly proactive (http://www.eset.com/products/compare_heuristic_detection.php) , on-demand detection rate and low false positives, ESET NOD32 Antivirus consistently receives the highest possible rating—ADVANCED+—from AV-Comparatives.org (http://www.av-comparatives.org/), an independent research group.

You might think something so powerful would tax your resources. But quite the opposite is true. Because of its highly optimized code and light system footprint, ESET NOD32 Antivirus includes one of the fastest scanners in the industry, as the following charts clearly illustrate.

Add it all up, and it's no surprise that ESET NOD32 was named "Best Antivirus Product" for 2006 and 2007 (read more here (http://www.av-comparatives.org/)).

Which Is the Best Antivirus?


Using the in-depth chart below, you can compare antivirus software and find out which type will provide the kind of protection you need. The study stands ESET NOD32 Antivirus up to some of the biggest brand names - Symantec, McAfee, and Trend Micro - comparing protection as well as performance.

Compare antivirus software and the answer is clear. Big brand names don’t stop malware. Advanced design and technology does. ESET NOD32 Antivirus, with ThreatSense® offers superior detection and performance, as well as the smallest footprint.

[Charlie]

I just want to add that the above post is straight from ESET's website so there will always be biased information from the manufacturers website. If you was to go to Kaspersky, Zone Labs etc... they would show theirs as the best over others. This is normal to see though.

[MAD1]

I am currently on the mcaffe thanks for the advice on others does this mean you think it is my virus protection i just burned a new dvd mounted it and it still will not play just goes to resume.

[Charlie]

Disable symantec totally and retry to see. Use ISO mode and don't burn then mount it to VDrive. Or do like I do and use an RW disc. Vdrive is still very buggy in my opinion.

Here look at Kaspersky's chart. Notice how it promotes? Anyhow I will recommend Kaspersky, Zone Alarm, ESET, Bitdefender. These all play well with DNC. I haven't tested mcaffe personally but it may be ok.

[MAD1]

I am using the mcaffe not smantec sorry for the confusion, also di not burn to a new disc only saved it as an iso file is that what I am supposed to do.

[Charlie]

Yes and is or was mcaffe disabled? If not you most likely may get the same results. I can't remember but did you post reply your filters used yet? I can't remember if I asked you to or not.

[MAD1]

Filters??? new to all this, Also i know I have seen where i can post my system info but don't seem to be able to find it

[Charlie]

For filters : Filter Driver Load Order - DVD neXt COPY Support Forum (http://www.dvdnextcopysupportforum.com/showthread.php?t=3665)

For system : DVD neXt COPY Support Forum (http://www.dvdnextcopysupportforum.com/showthread.php?t=826)

On the system info due to the sensitive data please email it to me. If you need my email address just PM me on that so you can send it. As I want you to be able to do such for help.

[Smduff]

mcafee is bloated as well and may affect DNC I haven't used it in a few years.

[Smduff]

Charlie did you notice the Kapersky didn't have esat listed as a comparison on there chart.

[Charlie]

Yes I did. There is a comprehensive list that one forum does I'll locate that after I eat Lunch.

[MAD1]

which do i need the nod 32 or the smart security

[Charlie]

NOD32 is just antivirus software the smart security is antivirus, firewall etc.... I think there is a trial for each so you can see if it works for your needs too.

[MAD1]

thanks I'll try the smart security

[MAD1]

I down loaded the filter you recommended it showed all my drives in the dnx virtual drives

[Charlie]

Can you open that program select one of your real drives and not virtual drives and select copy to clip board then paste that in your reply please?

Hope this is right i've been away from my computer, does it matter that on my computer lists these dnc drives as cd drives and not dvd drives.

[Smduff]

pxhelp.20 is a bad filter do you have imgburn on your system it will remove it. I had the same filter on mine which was causeing some issues for me.

[Smduff]

This is a dvd drive.

[Smduff]

ok do you have imgburn or did you use vso inspector to get the filter list?

[MAD1]

used the one charlie recommended on the site

[Smduff]

OK I just reread the entire thread and the only problem is you can't get the iso you made to play right?

[Smduff]

Sorry for the confusion we hijacked the thread.

[Charlie]

He used the other one posted, Is that the only filter. That's a pretty clean system. Out of honesty I will say your best bet is to google virtual clone drive as they are better than VDRive and wished they would get it updated.

[MAD1]

yes; i,m stll having problems I Uninstalled mcafee and installed nod32 security center, then uninstalled and reinstalled virtual drives to no avail still will not play the iso i recorded.

[Smduff]
