ESET Nod32 Antivirus or known as "the silent virus killer" has been the choice of many for the past few years. It has a strong antivirus protection engine that gives you 24/7 protection against all kinds of viruses. The only feature it lacks is that, its anti-spyware engine isn’t as powerful as other antivirus software’s. Nevertheless, it has the best antivirus protection engine when compared to other antivirus security software’s. The three best features that we found in ESET Nod32 Antivirus are :


1. Light Resource User :

ESET Nod32 Antivirus has won the light resource user award for the year 2008 and 2009. It is really efficient on detection various suspicious stuff while using the lowest PC resource. Also when compared to other antivirus software’s., ESET Nod32 Antivirus utilizes the least PC resource. Because of using less PC resource, you are capable of doing many multi tasks without having to worry about your PC getting freezed. Also when we ran a test we were able to run the following applications while running the smart scan.

  • Mozilla Firefox with 2 videos streaming
  • Word Of Warcraft
  • Adobe Photoshop CS4
  • Adobe Fireworks CS4
  • Adobe Dreamweaver CS4

2. Advanced Real Time Scanner :

ESET Nod32 Antivirus has an excellent real time protection. It detects suspicious activities much more faster than other antivirus software’s. The minus point is, it sometimes blocks the trusted applications. The false alarm rate is little bit more in Nod32 Antivirus when compared to others. But it takes decision upon your request. So even it pops a false alarm, it asks you what to do about it.

3. Smart System :

Not only scanning but also the real time protection runes under the Smart System. This is the main reason why ESET Nod32 Antivirus has an excellent real time protection and a strong antivirus engine.

Summery :

Overall ESET Nod32 Antivirus is a great antivirus software to protect your PC from various types of harmful malware’s. If it had a strong antispyware engine, and a normal firewall engine, it would have been the second best antivirus software. Nevertheless with its excellent real time protection and strong antivirus engine, there is no way a virus could survive in you PC.
