Last April 26 Valueline Systems and Solutions Corporation and Mr. James “Randy” Abrams, Director of Technical Education of ESET LLC, formally launched the fastest and most accurate antivirus in the world, NOD32.

NOD32 is the record holder of Virus Bulletin 100% award gaining 37 citations to date, more than any other antivirus solutions. It has also been awarded by Deloitte’s Technology as one of the fast 500 for EMEA award in 4 consecutive years (ranked 91 in 2005). ESET LLC is also considered as one of the fastest growing company in San Diego in 2005 .

With the evolving threats and accelerating virus encounters reported 40% rise in 2004 . Spyware infestations grew up to 66% affecting rootkits, financially motivated malware writers do it for profit alongside with increasing spam, botnets and worms.

NOD32 is a unified anti-threat engine that has a comprehensive protection for viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, adware, phishing, etc. and for multi-point protection for internet, email, ftp, disk, USB, etc. Acknowledge as best proactive detection, high performance and easy to install and use.

With its unique Advanced Heuristics, NOD32 from ESET LLC has detected threats and eliminated more than 85% of all new viruses and worms without requiring a signature database update. ESET also said that it also reduces the number of false positives meaning fewer legitimate applications wrongly identified and blocked as viruses.

NOD32 boasts its scanning rate with twice the speed of the second competing product with comparable detection. It defies the generally accepted paradigm that a product can be either fast or have excellent detection: NOD32 provides both speed and detection with minimal impact on CPU resources with 6%. This performance is attributed to the sophisticated technology of NOD32. Coded partly in the assembly language, which gives it the capability to run much faster and use much less system resources as programs written in higher languages such as C/C++.

NOD32 features highly flexible updates for those problems for which a signature update is needed. Updates are done and can be transparent to the user.

ESET also added that NOD32 supports Windows 64-bit.

Based on productivity and ROI, the overall cost of ownership is greatly reduced through detection of threats proactively, maintaining network integrity reducing outbreaks. Greater productivity results from faster machines and more compliant and happy employees.

It also reduces the average cost of incident for any malware exposure. Longer asset life and major software upgrades are included in the price of the license unlike some

of its competitor.
