In the setup section while in the scan part, for Heurisitic sensitivity, should I put Safe, Standard, or Deep? I like it so far, nicely organized. Just need a virus to test it out lol.

AMON Setup - MethodsThere are two basic scanning methods supported by NOD32 Antivirus System modules, including AMON:

Signatures - Signature scanning relies on analysis of previously known viruses and their corresponding patterns in a signature database.

Heuristics - Are sophisticated algorithms which allow detection of yet unknown viruses.

The NOD32 heuristic sensitivity has been carefully optimized and the Standard level should be used. Selection of the Deep level may result in an increased number of false alarms.

I meant in the NOD32 section, when you go to scan your system. Before you scan you can click Setup, is there anything else I should enable anywhere?

It's the same...the scanning methods are the same, the applies still applies there. That's a cut 'n paste from the context sensitive help section.

Cool little AV app huh?

Yes I like it a lot, I love the design and I especially LOVE the AMON. It shows the last file it scanned automatically. If I hover over the start menu and go inside, it even scans the .ink shortcuts! I love it so far :)

I disabled my Sym CE at the office, and yesterday while pulling down some POP mail it bagged the latest Bagle variant.

Nice auto update feature, don't have to lift a finger.
