I have been reading about this anti-virus program and was wondering if anyone heard of it or uses it. It has definatley impressed me, and would like more info if anyone has any to tell.
Its called NOD32.
Developed by Eset.

Eset is a privately held software development and research company with offices in San Diego, USA, London, UK, Prague, CZ and Bratislava, SK. Founded in 1992, Eset has focused on developing innovative anti virus software systems. NOD32 has evolved from that development process to be consistently rated as one of the best anti virus products. In fact, NOD32 holds more Virus Bulletin 100% Awards than any other product available.



"Since the first submission of NOD32 for Virus Bulletin testing in May 1998, NOD32 system did not miss a single "In the Wild" virus in any of the tests."


"Virus Bulletin June 2004:
For more than six years, NOD32 remains the only antivirus system in the world that has not missed any 'In the Wild' virus in the prestigious tests performed by the international magazine - Virus Bulletin. Out of the 25 antivirus products tested on Windows XP platform, NOD32 was one of the 3 that have achieved a clean sweep detecting all the viruses in all the test sets in both on-demand and on-access tests without any false alarm. However, NOD32's scanning rate of the executable files was more than 3.8 times higher than the second best product and 21 times higher than the third of the products with 100% detection rate."

Hmm - weird, I've never ever heard of them before. I read quite a few magazines and I've never seen them reviewed either - makes it sound a bit dodgy to me, but if you try it out let me know how it goes

I wouldnt quite count on that to be accurate..I've been using PC-Cillin for nearly 3 years without a problem,if it really missed 69 virus i think i would have noticed it.Scantime will also vary from system to system depending on the hdd setup,amount of files and basic PC setup.Considering that this is a company thats not very well known,i wouldnt trust it.

liljim...Got any results from 2004? I'd like to see where Panda rates. I've never had a prob. with it in 2 years.

I've heard of it but haven't seen it work. There's a HJT Log File in the HJT Forum that has problems and NOD32 is installed on it. First time I've seen it.
