ESET Launches new NOD32 Antivirus Pack

ESET has announced the launch of its ESET NOD32 Antivirus, a single user retail pack of its flagship product in India. The latest 5th version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus offers various improved features including ESET Live Grid (former ThreatSense.Net), cloud-based reputation and protection technology and New Removable Media Control. The New Removable Media Control secures users from viruses and malware that spread though removable media. This tool automatically prompts the user to scan the content of all flash drives (USB, SD), firewire port, CDs and DVDs, so that specific threats can be blocked from trying to get into the system through the media devices.

For your security needs

Advanced Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) implemented in the 5th generation ESET products allows tech savvy users to customize the behaviour of the whole system. Users can define rules for system registry, processes, applications and files. The tool can also be used to block unauthorized changes to programs. The Gamer Mode feature in the pack allows the user to switch to silent mode and disables pop ups to conserve system resources and enhance the gaming experience. Overall the ESET NOD32 Antivirus is effective on the system, has a low footprint and protects the system both online and off-line.
