ESET Antivirus

ESET NOD32 Antivirus is a security suite that, among other benefits, provides antivirus protection for both Windows and Mac OS X. It is designed to protect your computer from a range of malware threats, including viruses, worms, Trojans, and spyware. These threats can be downloaded automatically from the web or via e-mail attachments.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus uses machine learning technology to ensure that your system status stays green as it automatically pulls in the latest versions of its virus signature database delivered by cloud a scanning server for continual protection against all types of outbreaks.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus is different in that it offers a more comprehensive antivirus protection than many other competitors, with nods to prevention, detection, and recovery. ESET goes the extra mile for its users by preventing infections from occurring on your device and stopping worms before they can attack you.

In addition to standard virus scanning procedures, ESET also scans e-mail attachments and documents downloaded via peer-to-peer programs for malware. Removal of detected threats is made possible through an automatic quarantine or manual deletion of offending files if desired.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus is exclusively designed to work with Windows operating systems and work on other major desktop and mobile operating systems.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus works with Windows operating systems and can also be installed on Mac OS X 10.6 or later (Intel only) and Android version 4.0 or later (Froyo to Lollipop). To do so, download the respective installation file from https://support.eset.com/home/us/.

The NOD32 Antivirus guards against viruses originating from e-mail attachments, the web, and routers. ESET NOD32 Antivirus protects your PC from all types of common computer viruses as well as performing rapid scans of your system to determine if you have become infected without your knowledge such that the virus is running amok in the background while your antivirus did not detect it.

This technology is possible because of high-level access to your system protected with multi-layered protection technology to prevent any tampering with protected code/data at runtime. 

It typically takes ESET about 30-40 minutes to configure for the first time, depending on internet speeds. It could take anywhere from 15-60 minutes. The second configuration is usually much faster as most of the data has already been downloaded and processed.

Follow these steps, and your ESET NOD32 ANTIVIRUS will be updated automatically:

Set up an automatic update. Select Advanced Settings -> Install or remove updates (near the bottom of the pane) and check Enable automatic updates, then click on OK

For manual updates, you can find them in the ESET Online Scanner using the "Update" button on the upper right corner of the program window. This way, your scanner will always be up to date without waiting for an automatic system check. Once everything is ready, you should see the ‘Update Successful’ message near the top left corner of the main screen. It's important to remember that an offline scan will not ask for a manual update if it detects one; an online scan does.

To remove threats in ESET NOD32 Antivirus, simply restore the quarantined objects.

If you navigated to the ESET Mail Shield > Quarantine or ESET File Security with an Internet shield enabled > Quarantine tabs and right-clicked the objects that need removing, they can be restored quickly and with just one mouse click.
