NOD32 Antivirus

Which security product stops the most zero-day threats?

When new viruses, worms and other malicious attacks strike, traditional signature-based technology is insufficient. Every minute you wait for an update is another minute that your comptuer and network are vulnerable to damage, infection, or identity theft. ThreatSense Heuristics closes the window of vulnerability by safely identifying and stopping malware as it runs on your computer.

NOD32 has consistently been rated as the best protection against zero-day outbreaks and attacks by the world’s leading antivirus testing organizations.

• www.av-comparatives.org is an Austrian research lab that performs retrospective tests.
• www.virustotal.com produces a newsletter listing vendors that detect outbreaks as they occur.

Proactive Antivirus – Heuristics and Signatures protection with The NOD32 Antivirus System

This shareware definitely one of the best antivirus out there that gives maximum protection for your computer security. I’ve tested this antivirus for an already known virus without using the latest update (which is virus definition from Januari 2006) and by using its advanced heuristic engine the virus can still be detected as an unknown virus.

This antivirus also gives an excellent scanning speed not even the Kaspersky Scanning Engine could beat the speed of NOD32 scanning engine.
 
Unfortunately this antivirus doesnt have a ProActive Defense feature like on Kaspersky Antivirus 6 which is quite usefull, because it can protect you from an unknown threat which works by Hooking itself into another process, or when other program trying to set the itself to automatically run on windows startup. Despite lacks of that feature this Antivirus still worth buying. But to provides greater protection for your pc, you should combine this antivirus with a Kaspersky Antivirus. For example i was using NOD32 to scan all downloaded files while Kaspersky Pro Active Defense continuosly monitoring in the background to provides another security on my computer. By the way, you can use 2 antivirus on your computer as long as you don’t activate the realtime protection of both antivirus at once.
