"Threats are no longer in the form of pure virus 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."
- Phil Hochmuth, senior security analyst at the Yankee Group.
"ESET, the leader in proactive threat protection, is pleased to introduce ESET Smart Security version 4.0, is an integrated security solution for consumers and businesses. It includes antispyware, antispam, firewall, and is built on ESET’s award-winning advanced heuristics ThreatSense® detection system and the ESET NOD32 scanning engine. ESET Smart Security combines speed, accuracy and minimal computer system impact to deliver a significant improvement over traditional solutions in the marketplace today.

"Our research indicates that consumers and businesses are looking for 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’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 only producing one false-positive during that time.
" ESET's NOD32 antivirus contains a minimal-impact, high performance virus scanning engine. Complete heuristic protection allows ESET NOD32 antivirus to protect you the moment an attack occurs. With ESET NOD32 antivirus, you are safe from 'zero-day' attacks - a critical difference which can keep your data and privacy secure.

With the same award-winning ESET NOD32 heurstic scanning engine, ESET NOD32 antivirus version 2.7 offers great, reliable, low-impact protection against emerging threats. Version 2.7 will continue to receive updates protecting against all new forms of viruses, spyware, and malware, and it will remain an indispensable part of any operating system older than Windows XP, or alternative operating systems such as Linux.

Customers running Version 3.0 are advised to update to the latest version v4.0 - which, as always, is FREE with a valid license or renewal - upgrade at any time.
