NOD32 Achieves 39th Virus Bulletin 100% Award



SAN DIEGO – August 2, 2006 – ESET, a global provider of security software for enterprises and consumers, today announced that its NOD32 Antivirus software earned its 39th Virus Bulletin 100% award for flawless detection of in-the-wild viruses. Tested on the Novell Netware platform with a Windows XP client, NOD32 outperformed competitors several times over.




ESET NOD32 Antivirus achieved the highest throughput of all vendors on the standardized test, at 8.36 MB/sec for executable files. This was nearly six times faster than McAfee's NetShield antivirus which scanned at 1.4 MB/sec. Similarly, NOD32 is four times faster than Kaspersky antivirus (2 MB/sec).



“ESET is focused on providing effective malware protection and meeting customer demands for unobtrusive and cost-effective protection - even for older legacy environments,” said Rick Moy, vice president of marketing for ESET. “Our successful track record with Virus Bulletin and the achievement of an unprecedented number of 100% awards is validation of our technical team and the technology.”


NOD32 is the only solution worldwide that has not missed a single “In the Wild” worm or virus in the rigorous testing conducted by Virus Bulletin since May 1998. The recent comparative tests also confirmed that NOD32 outperforms 8 other antivirus products.



About the VB 100% Award

The VB 100% award was first introduced in 1998. In order to display the VB 100% logo, an anti-virus product must have demonstrated in our tests that:



It detects all In the Wild viruses during both on-demand and on-access scanning.
It generates no false positives when scanning a set of clean files.
The product must fulfill these criteria in its default state.
