eset launches eset nod32 antivirus v3.0 and eset smart security
Integrated Solution Couples New Version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus with Antispyware, Antispam, and Firewall Features to Deliver Unprecedented Speed and Accuracy
ESET, the leader in proactive threat protection, today announced the introduction of ESET Smart Security, a new, integrated security solution for consumers and small-to-medium-sized businesses. It includes antivirus, antispyware, antispam and firewall features built on ESET’s award-winning advanced heuristic ThreatSense® detection system and the ESET NOD32 scanning engine. ADAOX Middle East, the regional development center for ESET’s range of security products, launched ESET Smart Security and ESET NOD32 V3.0 in the Middle East region.
“We are pleased to introduce ESET’s latest state-of-the-art security solution, ESET Smart Security, to our customers in the Middle East,” said Neo Neophytou, Managing Director of ADAOX Middle East. “ESET has always been in the forefront in tackling known and unknown threats. ESET Smart Security is a breakthrough technology which combines antivirus, antispam, antispyware and firewall modules with ESET’s online scanner making it a comprehensive security solution which will offer users maximum security from all types of threats. We are confident ESET Smart Security will be well received in this region.”
ESET Smart Security combines speed, accuracy and minimal computer system impact to deliver a significant improvement over traditional solutions in the marketplace today. It provides the industry’s highest level of accuracy and fewest false-positives through ESET NOD32 Antivirus1. With significantly lower performance overhead compared to the competition, ESET Smart Security uses only 40MB of disk space, and scans systems up to 30-times faster than other products.
“Threats no longer appear in the form of pure viruses or spam or phishing. They now come as ‘blended’ threats which require an integration and intelligence among individual security features. Smart computer users are looking for the best level of integrated protection with the minimal amount of inconvenience,” said Phil Hochmuth, senior analyst at the Yankee Group. “This drives users to look for malware solutions that provide great protection, are easy to install, don’t slow down their computers, and work completely behind the scenes.”
Unlike security suites which combine standalone products, ESET Smart Security tightly integrates the antispyware, antispam and firewall features with the new version of ESET’s flagship ESET NOD32 Antivirus scanning engine. This tight integration allows each module to share information with the other to evaluate and classify every threat appropriately.
ESET’s ThreatSense technology provides the industry’s highest level of accuracy. It is the only antivirus technology that has not missed an in-the-wild-virus in Virus Bulletin VB 100 testing over the past nine years, while producing only one false-positive during that time. It has also received more Advanced+ awards from AV-Comparatives.org for proactive protection than any other product.
“Our research indicates that consumers and businesses are looking for maximum protection, low system requirements, accurate results and fast scanning speeds—in that order. They are tired of solutions that slow down their computers and interfere with other applications,” said Anton Zajac, CEO of ESET LLC.
“ESET set out to build a solution that addressed these concerns while offering the best level of protection available. With ESET Smart Security, we’ve surpassed our goal and savvy computer users will be amazed by its ease of use, intelligent lightweight design and near-zero impact on system performance.”
Unique to ESET Smart Security and ESET NOD32 Antivirus V3.0:
• Hands-on service – All ESET customers receive the same level of excellent technical support service, whether an individual computer user or an SMB
• Ease of installation – ESET Smart Security and ESET NOD32 Antivirus V3.0 scanning engines are quick and easy to install, no matter what solution is currently running.
• Advanced threat protection network – ESET solutions are backed by ThreatSense.Net, a global early warning system built into the products. ThreatSense.Net extends the power of ThreatSense’s powerful analytics by automatically submitting samples of and information about, new malware to ESET researchers for analysis, thus helping to close the window of vulnerability opened by new threats.
ESET’s new solutions are ideal for the small-to-medium size business environment. By incorporating ESET’s Remote Administrator, both ESET Smart Security and the new version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus can be deployed and managed remotely from a central location.
