ESET’s NOD32 is rapidly becoming one of the best pieces of antivirus software on the market today. ESET’s NOD32 once again has delivered an excellent product that is highly effective, and now, easy to use. Its interface is simple to use for the average home user, but can be configured and tweaked by the advanced user. It requires little or no configuring for the average user.
ESET’s NOD32 is among one of the most effective when it comes to removing viruses. Independent tests show that NOD32 removed about 98% of the virus threats it faced. Its spyware protection is a little weaker than one might like but still quite acceptable for someone browsing the internet. Where NOD32 stands head and shoulders above its competitors is in its proactive detection and protection. The idea here is that when the software finds some code that looks malicious, it executes the software in the background to determine if it’s a threat to your machine. ESET NOD32 has refined this technique like no other antivirus software developer with their ThreatSense Technology. This ThreatSense Technology delivers an excellent detection rate while offering a very fast scan rate.
ESET’s NOD32 only updates its virus signatures once a day. That’s probably a short enough interval considering that ESET has the power to “push” updates to your computer in the instance of attack. Also, with ESET’s highly effective proactive engine, it is very likely that it will recognize malicious code before the signature is available. ESET’s NOD32 is all about effectiveness and speed. This software uses fewer resources than most other anti-virus software and that is what really makes it so good.
NOD32 offers several layers of protection including real time email scanning, antivirus protection, antispyware protection and rootkit scanner. The email scanner integrates easily and directly into MS Outlook or any other standard POP3 email client. The only thing it doesn’t have is parental controls but other than that it is an exceptional piece of software.
