In more than 11 years of independent testing and review by Virus Bulletin, ESET has produced the only Antivirus that has not missed a single 'In-The-Wild' virus and holds the world record with 52 of the prestigious VB100% awards. How does yours compare?

NOD32 is the first anti-malware product to achieve both the Anti-Spyware Desktop Checkmark certification for detecting spyware and the Anti-Spyware Installed Checkmark certification for nullifying spyware and is to be congratulated on its double award," according to Chris Thomas, CTO West Coast Labs.  "This means that users can be reassured that their machines now have two lines of defense from the one product." In addition NOD32 has existing Anti-Virus Checkmark - Level One & Level Two and Trojan Checkmark certifications.

In an independent test by AV-Comparatives NOD32 has achieved the best results among all tested brands. "This year's report shows that ESET NOD32 leads not just in one, but multiple categories of comparison," said Andreas Clementi, project manager at AV-comparatives.org.  "NOD32 proactively identifies and eliminates the type of complicated malware threats that are emerging now and which will continue to evolve.  When you combine the speed, accuracy and advanced heuristics capabilities of ESET's solution, it is clearly the best performing AV product on the market today."

Technology

The fourth generation of ESET's products, Eset Smart Security v4 and Eset NOD32 Antivirus v4 both include advanced point of entry protection. Web access protection and document protect, as well as email clients protection and real time file system protection are all present to automatically check for deal with all kinds of threats to your system before they can even gain a foothold.

ThreatSense

The core of our products is based on the ThreatSense Technology, utilising high-end technologies guaranteeing a top detection rate and protection against both known and new infiltrations. 

Advanced Heuristics

ESET’s NOD32 antivirus system works with the Advanced Heuristics method. With heuristics, the antivirus software is able to detect the latest variants of known viruses as well as infiltrations not included in its database.

Common heuristic methods can detect viruses, macro viruses and script viruses. The unique feature of the Advanced Heuristics in NOD32 antivirus system is the ability to also detect WIN32 worms, backdoor programs and trojans.

Part of the Advanced Heuristics in NOD32 is a generic unpacker that is able to break through different forms of runtime packers and envelopes. 

Early Warning System

The Early Warning System warns the user in advance about possible infiltrations in the computer. The system is a unique way of getting valuable information about the latest infiltrations that help keep your data out of reach of malicious malware. NOD32 antivirus system sends data about suspicious files after "intelligent" communication with the server that accepts and analyzes only necessary data.

The Early Warning System also collects anonymous statistics packets containing information about the type and number of infiltrations detected on the users’ computers. This data helps ESET get exact and relevant information and statistics about the most frequent infiltrations, the country of their origin or their language version. These statistics help us improve and modify our products and services.

The system does not endanger privacy while collecting data, as files containing personal information (e.g. documents) are totally excluded. Users have the option to set up sending statistics and suspicious files to the server and by default the system will ask for the user’s permission every time it wants to send a suspicious file for analysis.
