10th Place for NOD32 ??

See Nod 32 is a very light Av its engine is made for otehr malicious app. like Trojans apart from Viruses.. It only keep a track of the signatures and if any match it stop executing it While its not as poswerfl as other. People use it as its light But they did not know the fact
