ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Microsoft Windows

Product Description:

The latest release continues ESET's tradition of delivering ultimate security with fast, transparent operation and minimal load on system memory, disk or CPU. ESET's unrivaled ability to deliver industry-leading proactive malware detection and high system performance can literally extend the life of PCs and laptops while improving their security.

ESET's new detection and diagnostic features safeguard users from deceptive forms of malware by digging deeper into the operating system, files and encrypted browser traffic to identify and eliminate hidden malware threats. The latest version also includes advanced self-defense technology that protects against malware designed to disable antivirus or anti-malware solutions, leaving the user completely unprotected. Together, these new features enable consumers and businesses to proactively block most new malware attacks before they can compromise systems to damage or steal data.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4's new, industry-first security features include:

• Power conservation — Already the most efficient and lightweight anti-malware products on the market, ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 go one step further by automatically adjusting performance on laptops to maximize battery life without compromising security.
• Improved self-defense technology - ESET software features improved defenses against disabling of the antivirus system by malware or unauthorized users – among other things by restricting changes to ESET's processes and registry entries to authenticated users.
• User-friendly interface - Numerous enhancements to the GUI make the product even easier to use. Among many enhancements, there is auto-disabling notifications when full-screen applications like presentations, games or video are running, and a new non-graphical user interface that allows disabled and visually-impaired users to easily interact with the software using screen readers and other assistive technologies.
• Advanced Archive Scanning - This new feature makes ESET's consumer products the first to allow experienced users to fully customize scanning to do a "deep dive" of archive files created with popular compression formats, including .RAR, .ZIP and others. Comprehensive controls allow users to define archive scanning with scanning depth, maximum scan time, and maximum file size.
• Removable Media Access Control - Gives consumers removable media security for USB flash drives and CDs – protection previously extended only to businesses. The feature gives administrators the ability to allow or block mounting of removable media. If removable media is allowed, dangerous files like AUTORUN.INF are scanned for threats.
• ESET SysInspector - Newly integrated into ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 this powerful system diagnostics tool quickly discovers hidden/potentially dangerous rootkits without running a full antivirus scan. It can also reveal hidden changes to the operating system, web browser, registry and applications. The scan results are standardized and can be reviewed by IT personnel, speeding up malware analysis and removal.
• ESET SysRescue - Enables users to diagnose and recover compromised systems more easily. Customers build their own system rescue CDs, which can be used to clean up and repair systems compromised by malware without reimaging the system.
