Why ESET‘s NOD32?
Technology, not brand names, stops malware.
Compare
Industry tests and data to show the differences in detection, size and speed of NOD32‘s top competitors.Compare the data against Symantec, McAfee, Kaspersky and Trend. Find out why NOD32 is theSafest,Fastest,Smallest solution.
Best Detection of Known and Evolving Threats
Approximately 88% of threats are proactively detected using ThreatSense heuristics. For example, all variants of MyDoom, Netsky, Bagle and Mytob were detected heuristically - before most other vendors even had a signature.Compare to Symantec, McAfee, Trend, and Kaspersky. NOD32 receives the highest awards (ADVANCED+) in retrospective testing, due to its high proactive on-demand detection rate and low rate of false positives. NOD32 includes one of the fastest scanners in the industry, earning the status of Overall Anti-Virus product winner of 2006. (source:www.AV-Comparatives.org) In-the-Wild Virus Detection - ESET is the record holder of 41 VB100% awards collected over the last 7 years. These tests validate the products ability to detect known malware. (source:www.virusbtn.com).

NOD32 has missed fewer In-the-Wild viruses than any other vendor in VirusBulletin testing, as shown below.

Fastest Performance
With NOD32, it‘s not necessary to sacrifice speed for detection. Scanning and update processes happen behind the scenes without a perceptible decrease in performance.
19MB/sec scanning rate under Windows 2003 Three to 34 times faster than the leading brands under Windows XP Keep employees productive by minimizing the impact on their systems


Minimal Resource Utilization
NOD32 conserves resources on disk and in memory, leaving more room for critical applications. It is compact enough to run on modest systems, saving valuable memory without compromising performance or functionality, yet powerful enough to slam the door on malware intrusions.
Utilizes approximately 22MB of RAM, one of the smallest packages in the industry Low RAM usage and intelligent caching reduces disk access and memory paging Low 4% performance overhead (source: Canon/ESET testing, August 2006)

Ram Footprint
Source: Scott Brown, Colby Sawyer Case Study, November 2004
NOD32 is by far one of the smallest applications in the industry, especially for providing protection against such a wide range of threats. The NOD32 v2.5 installer is just 8.6 MB
The program utilizes approximately 15 to 22 MB of RAM. This, along with intelligent caching reduces disk access and memory paging, adding to performance. (Source: Scott Brown, Colby Sawyer Case Study, November 2004)

NOD32 excels in July 2001 Virus Bulletin tests, detecting 100% of all the samples in all test sets and achieving impressive Hard Disk Scan Rates of the executable files, outperforming all other products by overwhelming margins (2-53 times!).
"The full detection of all samples in the test set is almost expected now, but the speed of scanning was even more remarkable." (Matthew Ham, Virus Bulletin, July 2001)

Record Winner of the Virus Bulletin 100% Award
NOD32 Antivirus has been awarded more VB100% Awards than any other AV product.
NOD32 Antivirus extends its stunning performance in Virus Bulletin‘s tests and receives its unprecedented 27th VB100% award! NOD32 remains the only antivirus product in the world that has not missed any In the Wild virus in Virus Bulletin tests for more than 6 years and has received more coveted Virus Bulletin 100% Awards than any competing antivirus product.
NOD32‘s awesome scanning rate of 9.270 kB/s (which is more than twice the speed of the second competing product with 100% detection) beats the generally accepted paradigm: a product can be either fast or have excellent detection; NOD32 provides both with a minimal impact on CPU cycles.
Due to NOD32‘s Advanced Heuristics Technology Eset‘s antivirus product is able to detect a very high rate of the unidentified (and not yet analyzed) viruses without any need to update the virus signature database. This state-of-the-art feature provides the user an ultimate advantage protecting his computer against viruses that may hit the streets in the future.
In fact, in all tests conducted by Virus Bulletin Magazine since May 1998 NOD32 has not missed a single in-the-wild virus.
NOTE:  NOD32 did miss out on the VB100% Award in Nov 2000.  It detected all of the viruses, but produced a single false-alarm.  Result: no award.
In the first test conducted by Virus Bulletin on the Suse Linux platform in April 2002, NOD32 did detect all in-the-wild viruses but for other reasons it, and all other products tested, were deemed to have failed the tests.
