Guess I won't be using it then...I'm usin NOD32 also.

[lynchknot]

I use NOD32, KAV, and Norman - NOD is my resident (lower resources) - KAV for better detection and superior unpacking ability - Norman for "sandbox" technology. (on demand)

I don't know - what do you guys think?I think it's about time 'cause IMHO, it's extremely ironic that I need more time searching my tiny hard drive than I would need to search the enormous WWW.

seems a little limited eh?I agree but it's still beta, maybe they'll improve it.
BTW, I still haven't tried it, but the idea is a good one.

[lynchknot]

try ava, it's great!

Google Desktop can search for terms within documents and emails, and Ava Find can find any file on your hard drive instantaneously.

I'll check it out. Thanks, lynch.

As Hotmale pointed out,it is still in "Beta". So there will be limitations.
