Since May 1998, NOD32 has been the only antivirus
product in the world that has not missed a single (ItW) worm or virus in
the rigorous testing conducted by the Virus Bulletin. This time the
Virus Bulletin re-tested the Windows 2003 Server platform.
Since the last time the Virus Bulletin tested this platform, close to
90 new worms were added to the “In the Wild”
(ItW) category. Once again, NOD32 won the 100% Award for detection of
all (ItW) worms and viruses while getting no false positives.
Additionally, NOD32 outperformed all 26 products tested by having the
fastest scanning rates for the executable files!
As stated by the Virus Bulletin, “NOD32
continues to be entitled to quote its unblemished record of (ItW)
detection”. |

NOD32 expands its record of being the only antivirus
system in the world that has not missed a single “In The Wild” virus, in
the comprehensive testing conducted by the industry’s leading authority,
the Virus Bulletin. This record is over six years old and growing!
NOD32 for NetWare retains the distinction of functioning as
two NLM’s, a module for the on-access scanner and one for the on-demand
scanner. On-demand scans are performed via a command-line interface.
NOD32 has had this configuration for a long while and it serves very
well as a local solution on NetWare.
Of the ten (10) products tested, NOD32 was only one of two with all
samples detected on both on access and on demand scanning, with no false
positives. In addition, NOD32's scanning rate of the executable files
was almost twice as fast of the other product with 100% detection and up
to six times faster than some of the other products tested.
Once again, NOD32 sets records for detection and efficiency of
operations.

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.

Since May 1998, close to six years (!), the NOD32
Antivirus System has been the only product in the world that has not
missed a single “In the Wild” virus in the rigorous testing conducted by
the antivirus industry ‘bible', the Virus
Bulletin ( www.virusbulletin.com
). The tests performed on Red Hat Linux 9 last month proved to be no
exception. NOD32 not only did not miss any “In the Wild” virus, but its
overall scanning rate was faster than any of its 14 competitors. This
test has, as many tests before have, once again proven what Virus
Bulletin said about NOD32 several years ago: “It
is almost a truism in the antivirus world that you must choose between
fast scanning speed and good virus detection. NOD32 bucks that idea by
effectively coupling the two.”

PC Chip ( Croatia ) names NOD32 #1 antivirus software
in its comparative review |
| |
|
November 2003 |
| |
|
In its November 2003 Antivirus Test Comparison, PC Chip
Croatia rated NOD32 as the #1 performer in both speed and detection . .
. ahead of antivirus industry heavyweights Norton, McAfee, TrendMicro,
Kaspersky, AVG, eTrust, H+BEDV, Panda, and Sophos.
"Since the beginning NOD32 was rudely neglected in favor of "big
names" - the famous web site Cnet went so far as to bury NOD32 as a
third class program with doubtful quality - but they could not have gone
further from the truth, because NOD32 is the winner of many awards and
cerificates from the most respected independent labs and groups in the
antivirus industry." wrote the PC Chip Editor in his review. |

Virus Bulletin: “NOD32 produced
an unsurprising 100% detection rate …”, and earned its record 24
th VB100% Award! |
| |
|
NOD32 Antivirus extends its stunning performance in
Virus Bulletin's tests and receives its unprecedented 24th VB100% award!
NOD32 remains the only antivirus product in the world that has not
missed any In the Wild virus in Virus Bulletin tests for more than 5
years and has received more coveted Virus Bulletin 100% Awards than any
competing antivirus product. NOD32's awesome scanning rate of 9.270 kB/s
(which is more than twice the speed of the second competing product with
100% detection) beats the generally accepted paradigm: a product can be
either fast or have excellent detection; NOD32 provides both with a
minimal impact on CPU cycles.
Due to NOD32's Advanced Heuristics Technology Eset's antivirus
product is able to detect a very high rate of the unidentified (and not
yet analyzed) viruses without any need to update the virus signature
database. This state-of-the-art feature provides the user an ultimate
advantage protecting his computer against viruses that may hit the
streets in the future. |

Virus Bulletin June 2003 |

NOD32's remarkable five-year run of 100% detection of
every ItW virus is due to its unique core technology which addresses
both known and unknown viruses. Although there are at least 50,000
viruses (some sources put the figure as high as 80,000) known to exist
today, the most dangerous are ItW (In the Wild) viruses - those viruses
independently reported by two or more top antivirus researchers
worldwide as currently spreading through normal user contact. In even
the few short hours it takes for virus labs to analyze and create
patches or updates, rapid Internet "virus propagation time" enables new
ItW viruses to achieve worldwide infiltration and cause widespread
damage.
NOD32, by virtue of its advanced heuristics technology, provides
state-of-the-art protection against both ItW and unidentified viruses.
Heuristic analysis enables NOD32 to detect virus-like activity, thereby
automatically initiating action to isolate the infected files. NOD32's
remarkable scanning rate enables it to do its job without impacting
system performance - a major concern for many users.
Any product in a Virus Bulletin VB100% test that detects 100% of all ItW
viruses in both the On-demand and On-access tests without any false
positives is granted the VB100% Award. In the latest VB100% test,
conducted in June 2003 on the Windows XP Professional Platform, a total
of 32,184 viruses were missed by 24 other products. NOD32 was one of
only two products that did not miss a single virus in any of the tests.
Generally, antivirus products are expected to be either a good virus
detector or a fast scanner. In Virus Bulletin's published test results,
in addition to unbeatable 100% detection, NOD32 also demonstrated an
awesome throughput rate in excess of five million kilobytes per second -
a scanning speed 3.7 times faster than the only other perfect-scoring
product, and a full 5 times faster when scanning EXE files.

“Yet again, NOD32 provided what
is becoming a rather dull score of no misses in any of the test sets
upon which it was applied, thus being eligible for another VB 100% award
to add to its growing collection.” (Virus Bulletin, February
2003). For more than four years, NOD32 Antivirus System continues to
detect all In the Wild viruses in the test of the Virus Bulletin,
industry renowned, international publication on virus prevention,
recognition and removal. NOD32 has not only detected all the infected
files, but also achieved the highest scanning rate among the systems
with the highest detection rate. |

The NOD32 Antivirus System has again demonstrated its
unprecedented detection efficiency in the latest exhaustive test
comparative of 21 antivirus products performed by the prestigious
international journal of the antivirus industry, Virus Bulletin. The
tests were carried out on the Windows 2000 Advanced Server platform, and
were published in the November 2002 issue.
Detection capability and scanning speed are the two key parameters of an
efficient antivirus system. Of the 21 participating products, only two
were able to match NOD32's detection level of "100% clean sweep" ... but
the second and third best contenders took 4.5 times and 14 times longer
than NOD32 to complete the scans ... once again confirming NOD32's
position as the world's fastest and most accurate scanner.
Since its first submission for testing in May 1998, NOD32 has not missed
a single In the Wild virus in Virus Bulletin tests. Now the holder of an
unequalled 20 Virus Bulletin 100% Awards, NOD32 is well on its way
towards its fifth consecutive year of worldwide leadership in virus
detection."NOD32 remained speedy ... full In
the Wild detection for both boot and file viruses was sufficient to
garner another VB 100% award. Misses were, in fact, absent in any test
set." (Virus Bulletin, November 2002, p.20)

NOD32, the fastest antivirus program according to the Swedish computer
magazine MikroDatorn |
| |
|
n the September-October issue of the computer magazine
MikroDatorn, NOD32 was choosen the fastest antivirus program out of ten
products tested.
"The antivirus program that clearly
distinguished itself from the rest was NOD32 […] NOD32 was the antivirus
program that stood out the most in our performance tests. A full virus
scan of the whole harddrive only took two minutes and two seconds,
compared to the majority of the other antivirus programs that needed
between five and seven minutes for accomplishing the same task."
MikroDatorn also tested how much impact the different antivirus
programs had on the overall performance of the computer. NOD32
distinguished itself in this test as well:
"NOD32 performed best with a barely noticable
performance impact that we rounded down to zero percent... The program
required so little resources that it hardly could be measured by our
benchmark program Sysmark 2000."
There is no question about it, the developers at Eset have done a
remarkably fine job in developing NOD32. Not only does NOD32 do an
exellent job in detecting viruses, it does it with lightning speed as
well, and without having negative impact on performance.
Eset, congratulations! |

NOD32 chosen as Hot Product by DCM Magazine |
| |
|
Coronado, Ca., September 24, 2002 – ESET Software a
leading provider of internet software security solutions announced today
that NOD32, its next generation antivirus software program, has been
chosen by DCM Magazine for review as a Hot Product in its November 2002
issue. DCM Magazine specializes in "Bringing
ideas and insight to the data center management community."
OVER 250 products were considered for presentation as HOT PRODUCTS for
this edition. The selection fo NOD32 for this review is quite timely as
it has also just received its record breaking 19th virus bulletin award
based upon a comprehensive test of the NOVELL version of NOD32 which not
only proved to have the fastest scanning time of all products tested but
it also was, once again, the only product that did not miss a single
virus in all tests performed.
There is little doubt that within the Antivirus world - NOD32 is THE
HOTTEST PRODUCT on the market. As sales continue to grow at pace of well
over 500% it appears that corporate and home users alike agree that
NOD32 is indeed hot stuff.
With offices in North America and Europe - ESET sells NOD32 via a
worldwide network of distributors. Currently NOD32 is being used in over
60 countries and is available in 8 languages - all versions of which are
updated and upgraded at the same time worldwide. ESET customers are
staying with NOD32 - renewing at a rate of over 99%. |

The NOD32 Antivirus System has won its 19th VB100 Award
from the prestigious "Antivirus Industry Bible",
Virus Bulletin, after making yet another "clean
sweep" of 100% of all viruses in every test set, combined with
the fastest scan rate. "NOD32 retained its
impressive performance history, detecting all files in all test sets.
This, combined with no false positive detections, gains NOD32 yet
another VB 100% Award." (Virus Bulletin - August 2002)
A total of 2246 viruses were missed by the nine participating
products in the August Comparative Review. NOD32 was the only product
which did not miss a single virus in any of the four tests sets used.
NOD32's combined hard disk scan rate of the executable, zipped
executable, OLE2, and zipped OLE2 files was by far the highest. NOD32
was more than 6.9 times faster than NAI McAfee Netshield to scan all
files, for example ... yet McAfee did not receive the award.
NOD32 continues to be the only product on the market which has not
missed a single "In the Wild" virus since
its first submission to the Virus Bulletin test labs in May 1998, and
has maintained its stranglehold on the record number of Virus Bulletin
100% Awards.
Symantec have no version capable of working with Novell NetWare 6, and
they were allowed to withdraw their Norton AntiVirus v7.60 Corporate
Edition version product from the August Comparative Review due to "some
problems". Symantec's strategic withdrawal means that NOD32 has again
increased its lead over its largest competitor in terms of the number of
VB100 Awards won.
In the past, some people may have questioned the seriousness and
validity of Eset's bold advertising statement :
"You can have a virus or an
Antivirus. Make your choice NOD32."
These latest test results from Virus Bulletin, the world's #1
independent antivirus testing authority, prove it's not just hype and
Snake Oil !!! |

Once again NOD32 is the only antivirus
program in the world to make a "clean sweep" of every virus in every
category! With 18 Virus Bulletin 100% Awards, NOD32 continues to set the
standard for others to try to achieve!
"Once more comes the arduous task of noting details of NOD32, before
declaring it to have gained yet another VB 100% award. Speed and
detection rate were maintained once more for Eset's product leading to a
predictable, but no doubt welcome, result ..." (Virus Bulletin, June
2002)
NOD32 combines highest possible detection rate with the highest overall
scanning rate. In view of these results we could repeat Virus Bulletin
editor's comments published in January 1999: "It is almost a truism
in the anti-virus field that you have speed or good detection. However,
NOD32 is one of the products that bucks that idea, effectively coupling
the two."
The latest review confirms that NOD32 continues, year after year, to
provide its users with the best combination of detection and
performance. |

NOD32 chosen BEST ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM OF 2001 |
| |
|
Coronado, Ca., December 13, 2001 - Eset
Software a leading provider of Internet software security solutions
announced today that NOD32, its next generation antivirus software
program, has been chosen as the BEST ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM OF 2001 by PC
User Magazine of Australia.
To quote from PC Users Australia December 2001 issue: |
| |
|
|
| |
|
"In PC User's most recent antivirus
tests, only one program provided 100% protection against all viruses in
a very large test set --- NOD32." Not surprising since NOD32 is
the only product to have never missed an "In The Wild" virus during
Virus Bulletin Testing. |
| |
|
"NOD32 also has effective heuristics to
protect against unknown viruses, and the company is really on the ball
with updates." Next Generation Antivirus programs use advanced
heuristics to detect new Viruses, Worms, Trojans and assorted Malware -
NOD32 has the most advanced heuristics available. |
| |
|
"The penalty for thorough scanning is
normally a longer scan time, but NOD32 was the fastest as well as the
most thorough." NOD32 avoids the baggage carried by most other
programs - written in machine code NOD32 scans the executable files at
least two times faster than any other antivirus product available. |
| |
|
"Is it any wonder we awarded NOD32 as
PC User's Best Antivirus Program of 2001?" Actually it is a very
pleasant surprise to see a major publication willing to acknowledge the
superior performance of a product that doesn't spend any money
advertising in it. |
| |
|
"NOD32, more than any other program, is
simply a must-have!!!" |
| |
|
|
| |
|

Virus Bulletin November 2001 |
| |
|
Eset Software, Coronado CA - NOD32 is the
proud recipient of its, industry leading, 16th Virus Bulletin 100%
award. Eset's NOD32 Antivirus Software continues to dominate the
industry with respect to detection a claim supported by its title as the
only product to have never missed a Virus in the Wild during testing by
the Virus Bulletin. NOD32 also continued to set new high standards in
Scan Rates with a total time to complete all tests of just 135 seconds
compared to the average of 825 seconds and the next best time to
complete of 251 seconds. To quote Virus Bulletin, when referring to
NOD32's past performance of having never missed a Virus in the Wild test
- "Their record claim remains unbroken" and "speed which it combines
with a recent record of no false positives". NOD32 remains the Best of
the New Generation and will most likely be the last Antivirus product
you buy. You have already tried the rest - it is time to buy the best. |

Virus Bulletin September 2001 |
| |
|
The September 2001 Virus Bulletin test
results have confirmed NOD32's place at the top of the 100% Award
winners list. Analysts noted not only NOD32's detection performance but
also the program's overwhelming speed of execution. Based on the results
(Virus Bulletin, September 2001) NOD32 had an Executable File Throughput
rate in excess of 5 million B/s, the next best was measured at 2 million
B/s and most of the other 11 competing programs staggered along at less
than 800,000 B/s. As an example, NAI McAfee NetSheild tested at
approximately 7 times slower while missing 9 viruses and failing to win
a 100% award. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
"With no misses and an excellent
overall scanning speed, there is little in the way of comment to make
which is not blatantly obvious to even the most myopic observer",
commented Matthew Ham of the Virus Bulletin (February 2001). |

"... NOD32 does what it claims
extremely well" summarizes NOD32 performance the Virus Bulletin. |

NOD32 excels in July 2001 Virus Bulletin
tests, detecting 100% of all the samples in all test sets and achieving
impressive Hard Disk Scan Rates of the executable files, outperforming
all other products by overwhelming margins (2-53 times!). |
| |
|
July 2001 issue of the Virus Bulletin
(international publication on computer virus prevention, recognition and
removal) features June 2001 results of the regular Comparative Review of
the leading antivirus products. Four products achieved remarkable virus
detection rate. Among the four products with highest (100%) detection
efficiency, NOD32 turned out to be 18-36 times faster! NOD32 not only
continues to provide 100% scanning efficiency but combines it with the
highest possible scanning rate of the executable files. It took NOD32 52
seconds to scan all the test executable files (and not miss a single
virus) while other products needed up to 46 minutes to do the job. |

"The full detection of all samples in the
test set is almost expected now, but the speed of scanning was even more
remarkable." (Matthew Ham, Virus Bulletin, July 2001) |

"NOD32 has gone from
strength to strength..All files in all sets were detected... With speed
tests as well as detection results being favourable, there is little to
add but congratulations." (Mathew Ham, Virus Bulletin, April
2001) |

NOD32 was the only product (17 products were
tested), that detected 100% of all infected samples across all the test
sets in both On-Demand and On-Access tests and did it without a single
false positive alarm. NOD32 also recorded the fastest hard disk scanning
rate. Best Detection - Best Speed - Best Performance. |

January 2001: NOD32 detects 100% of all
infected samples in the About.com tests and achieves the highest
detection scanning rate. For details, read Mary Landesman's report at:

November 2000 - UK Consumers' Association
WHICH? picked NOD32 as the "BEST BUY" product (Computing Which?,
November 2000).
Among the six tested leading antivirus products (Norton AntiVirus,
Norman Virus Control, NOD32, AVP Platinum, Command AntiVirus, McAffee
VirusScan), NOD32 received the top marks for both Performance and Speed,
becoming a clear winner of the evaluation by the UK independent
Consumers' Association. The official results were published in the
November issue of the Computing Which? magazine.
For many, this was not a surprising outcome since the NOD32 Antivirus
system was the only one to detect 100% of the virus samples across all
the test sets in the latest round of the Virus Bulletin tests and the
only one to detect all of the "In the Wild" viruses since May 1998. We
have always considered NOD32 a "BEST BUY" - now it's official. |

"Of all the test-sets scanned, NOD32
missed only one samle in the Standart set, a feat difficult to improve
upon and unique to this review. Coupled with good scanning speed and no
false positives, this is a gratifying result." |

|
|

|
Virus Bulletin July 2000 |
| |
|
"NOD32 does, to its credit, remain one of
the more interestingly styled products on offer, as well as one ot the
least amenable for witty comments at its expense. It has an excellent
rate of scanning combined with accuracy, an enviable position to be in." |

”NOD32 exhibited extremely impressive
scanning speed, blitzing some of the other products with its scan rates
well in excess of 2500kB/sec.” |
