ESET NOD32 AntiVirus 64-bit for Windows

ESET NOD32 antivirus solution for Windows

ESET is an antivirus firm based in Bratislava (Slovakia). ESET has been in existence since 1992. They have received numerous awards for their antivirus software. They are a leader in the antivirus software market. They offer a basic version for free, but it is their premium versions that are what they are most highly rated for.

Although ESET NOD32 may ask you to pay a yearly subscription fee, it is actually very affordable when compared to premium antivirus software. ESET NOD32 has a wide range of features that have performed exceptionally well in rigorous testing.

The main features of ESET NoD32 are:

It certainly offers a wide range of utilities. ESET Smart Security (high-end version) includes a few more, including a

ESET NOD32 offers three premium software options with a simple, clean interface. However, features and protection levels vary from one software to the next. ESET's premium antivirus software, ESET NOD32 Antivirus, is the entry-level version. This software includes antivirus and antispyware as well as anti-phishing, anti-phishing and exploit blocker. It also includes cloud-powered scanning, cloud-powered scanning, and:

As you can see, the list is shorter that the ones listed above for ESET Smart Security Premium, the premium software. ESET Internet Security is also available as a mid-range program. It includes all of the ESET NOD32 Antivirus features and more.

Although there isn't a lot of difference in pricing between these premium software options it is worth taking the time to think about what features you really need before jumping into any of them.

ESET requires only basic information to sign up. This includes your name, address, and card payment information. The Mac version is available. However, the installation file for Windows should take less time than the Mac version. After you have completed the installation steps and opened the program, you will need to update it. This allows real-time threat protection and malware detection to take place. Although it takes around ten minutes to update, this is not something you want to skip.

ESET NOD32's latest versions (from 9 to 13), require minimum Windows Home Server or Windows Vista in order to run. Older versions (from 3 to 9) of the program can be run on Windows XP or Windows 2000. Be aware that older versions of antivirus software may not offer the same level or features as the most recent.

ESET NOD32 lacks some features in comparison to other programs, such as automatic app updates, file shredder and file cleanup, and sandboxing suspect items.

This is a comparison to Avast, a large antivirus software that can offer all these features. Avast lacks many of the features that ESET offers, such as parental controls, banking and payment protection, parental controls and gamer mode. ESET also has UEFI scanner, antitheft, botnet protection and other features. ESET NOD32 scores higher against EICAR malware testing.

ESET is also significantly cheaper than Avast. ESET Smart Security Premium, which is the most expensive software in its category (and also cheaper than Avast's entry level software), is ESET's most expensive. Avast offers better deals if you buy in bulk.

ESET NOD32 anti-virus software is extremely efficient. It is comparable to or better than the top antivirus software companies such as Avast, Norton Antivirus and Sophos. ESET offers a wide range of features that surpass the rest of its competitors. ESET's products are also more affordable than premium antivirus software.

ESET NOD32 is a high-quality antivirus program that offers many additional features to create a comprehensive protection package. It is worth less if you have more than five devices to protect.
