NOD32 Anti-virus

ESET NOD32 Anti-virus

ESET’s strength lies in its NOD32 anti-virus and anti-spyware engine, which has received much acclaim for its virus detecting abilities, topping both Virus Bulletin and AV-Comparatives.org charts. ESET Smart Security 4 combines this with a firewall and anti-spam technology to provide a complete security solution.

For this version, ESET has added the ability to inspect SSL-encrypted communication channels such as HTTPS and POP35, and to scan compressed files for potential threats. The firewall has a new Learning Mode which automatically generates firewall rules according to the way in which you use your computer. The spam filter is more efficient and more effective, and the scanning of removable media such as USB sticks has been improved.

If you are infected, then new tools in the shape of ESET SysInspector and SysRescue help you analyse the nature of the attack, and create a bootable CD, DVD or USB drive that you can use to heal the infected machine. Furthermore, ESET now includes technology that can detect and prevent attempts to corrupt or disable it.

ESET NOD32 Anti-virus is itself available in a Business Edition which can be installed on servers as well as workstations. It also supports remote administration and a ‘mirror’ facility that allows you to create an internal update server.

Built on the award-winning ThreatSense® engine, ESET NOD32 Anti-virus software pro-actively detects and eliminates more viruses, trojans, worms, adware, spyware, phishing, rootkits and other Internet threats than any program available.

ESET NOD32 Anti-virus provides:

  • Proactive Protection: The award winning ThreatSense technology combines multiple layers of detection protecting you from Internet threats before it is too late.
  • Precise Detection: ESET accurately identifies known and unknown threats. It consistently wins top awards from testing labs and is recognized for having zero false positives.1
  • Lightweight Design: Requires less memory and CPU power, allowing your computer to run fast, making more room for games, web browsing, and emailing.
  • Fast Scanning Speeds: Highly efficient program ensuring fast file scanning and product updates. It runs quietly in the background.

The Business Edition of ESET NOD32 Anti-virus is an incredibly scalable solution, accommodating businesses with anywhere from five to hundreds of thousands of employees.

  • Server Installation: ESET NOD32 Anti-virus Business Edition may be installed on servers as well as workstations (the Home Edition can only be installed on workstations). This is a critical feature for the competitive business as servers are just as vulnerable to attack as workstations. Should your servers be unprotected, one virus can take down your entire system.
  • Remote Administration: Monitor and administer your security solution from anywhere in the world with the ESET Remote Administrator. This is an absolutely necessary feature for the business with more than one location, or the systems administrator who works remotely.
  • “Mirror” Capability: ESET’s mirror functionality enables your IT administrator to conserve bandwidth by creating an internal update server. This prevents employees from accessing the Internet for updates, conserving resources and reducing exposure to threats.
