Eset NOD32 3.0.xxx

Din luna Mai 1998, NOD32 a fost singurul produs antivirus din lume care nu a ratat nici un virus (ItW) la riguroasele teste conduse de Virus Bulletin. De aceasta data, Virus Bulletin a re-testat platforma Windows 2003 Server.

De la ultima testare pe aceasta platforma, au mai fost adaugati aproximativ 90 de viermi noi in categoria “In the Wild” (ItW). Inca o data, NOD32 a castigat Medalia 100% pentru detectarea tuturor virusilor (ItW) in timp ce nu a produs nici o alarma falsa. In plus, NOD32 a intrecut toate celelalte 26 de produse testate prin cea mai rapida rata de scanare a fisierelor executabile!

“NOD32 continues to be entitled to quote its unblemished record of (ItW) detection” (declaratie Virus Bulletin).

Eset's NOD32 Antivirus System 2.0 is a speedy and highly configurable antivirus tool that regularly gets top ratings from independent testing labs. For emerging threats, two types of heuristic analysis block unknown viruses. However, NOD32's vast number of configuration options may prove confusing for typical PC users.

NOD32's Control Center centralizes four previously separate antivirus modules. NOD32 scans the entire system for viruses on demand or on schedule; AMON scans files on access; and DMON scans Microsoft Office documents. Most important, IMON scans incoming POP3 and HTTP streams (but not outgoing mail), blocking viruses in e-mail and downloaded files. When scanning a particularly large file, IMON can automatically display progress in a semitransparent floating window. And it separately blocks worms like Blaster from exploiting open ports. It also claims to protect against nonvirus malware, such as spyware and key-loggers (though we did not test this feature).


NOD32 relies on frequently updated virus signatures to recognize known viruses and includes defenses against unknown threats as well. Standard heuristic detection is enabled by default; Eset warns that "Deep" detection may accidentally flag innocuous programs. The powerful advanced-heuristics protection actually executes suspect code on a virtual PC and watches for suspicious behavior; this feature is turned off by default for on-access scanning, to save time.

According to Eset, advanced heuristics alone blocked 81 percent of viruses in internal testing. In a test by AV-comparatives.org, a previous version detected 33 percent of in-the-wild viruses using only heuristics—better than all other products the organization tested. West Coast Labs gives it CheckMarks for virus detection, virus removal, and Trojan detection. It has ICSA Labs certification for virus detection, but not for removal.

When a virus is detected, NOD32 optionally sends an alert via e-mail or the Windows Messenger service. (Many users, though, disable the Messenger service because of its abuse by spammers.) Users can configure every aspect of the four modules: what to scan, where to scan, how to scan, how to handle viruses, and more. You can save multiple profiles for different on-demand scans, and schedule them to execute at intervals or based on system events. Though experts will love this flexibility, ordinary users may have trouble finding the settings they need.

NOD32 Antivirus System combines excellent detection of known viruses with powerful heuristic scanning for unknown viruses. The Control Center in this version makes it easier to use the four previously separate scanning modules. However, configuring it will still be a challenge for ordinary users
