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.
