ESET's NOD32 Achieves Record 39th VB Award

NOD32 Antivirus software has earned its 39th Virus Bulletin 100% award for flawless detection of in-the-wild viruses. Tested on the Novell Netware platform with a Windows XP client, NOD32 outperformed competitors several times over.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus achieved the highest throughput of all vendors on the standardised test at 8.36 MB/sec for executable files. This was nearly six times faster than McAfee's NetShield antivirus which scanned at 1.4 MB/sec. Similarly, NOD32 is four times faster than Kaspersky antivirus (2 MB/sec).

NOD32 is the only solution worldwide that has not missed a single “In the Wild” worm or virus in the rigorous testing conducted by Virus Bulletin since May 1998. The recent comparative tests also confirmed that NOD32 outperforms 8 other antivirus products.

I am now a NOD32 user and the reason why I use it is because I find it unobtrusive compared to my old AV package (McAfee) that had recently become a bit of a pain with it's McAfee product offers which you couldn't opt out of.

CW, I knew you'd downloaded the trial and meant to ask if you had bought it or not, but it slipped my mind

I assume you like it then? Is it as fast/unobtrusive as they say?

Hi Daz.

Yes I found it very unobtrusive and am pleased with it.

Up until I went over to NOD32, I had been using McAfee for a few years but after a Security Center update earlier in the year, I had an annoying McAfee advert making an appearance on boot-up and I couldn't find a way to stop it

This was the main reason why I switched.
