The job of antivirus programs is no longer as easy to define as it once was. Viruses aren’t the only problem around any more and they change so quickly that traditional detection methods are more and more ineffective. Moreover, virus trends aren’t the same as they used to be. In the past, their creators wanted their fifteen minutes of fame and made their creations so that they displayed themselves openly to the user. Now they prefer to create other types of “silent” threats which take control of the computer and Internet connection and work away incognito, sending spam or stealing bank account details, passwords or contact data.

Luckily, NOD32 isn’t a conventional antivirus solution; it has strengthened its detection technology, meaning that its already impressive heuristic detection is now even better. Thus it can intercept hidden threats without the need to have a specific antivirus definition for them. Plus, ESET NOD32 is a program that won’t pester you with a never-ending stream of alert messages, which more often than not end up confusing more than informing. It is highly configurable and customizable and the strain upon the system resources is much less than that of other antivirus programs.

All of this makes NOD32 a highly recommendable antivirus solution for the home, one which will not become the permanent centre of attention and which features impressive analysis speeds.

“Green” initiatives aimed at cutting down on the use of natural resources are changing the rulebook on the use of technology. For a start, something which was as normal and practically essential as printing everything out before reading it is now questioned and avoided whenever possible. doPDF is a fundamental tool for continuing with this change in habits, replacing the traditional printer with a virtual one which, instead of printing on paper, prints in the PDF format, which can then be read on an eBook reader or on the screens of desktops or laptops or filed and indexed to be read later. In this way, paper and ink or toner are saved and, ultimately, the office workflow can be re-organised to be entirely digital.

There are still no screens with a quality comparable to that of paper, and the change in habits means sacrificing a bit of the convenience of traditional printing methods, but without a doubt, programs like doPDF are essential in order to adapt to new habits and to be more responsible in terms of the environment. And of course in order to enter into the era of document management, PDF files can be indexed using your system’s search tools so that you can find any word, piece of data or text string without having to hunt through a mountain of documents.
