The new generation brings a batch of new technological improvements coupled with advanced security features to protect your PC from all types of Internet threats, including viruses, worms, rootkits, spyware and social network attacks.

Thorough Protection of Your Online Identity

Utilising multiple layers of detection, ESET NOD32 Antivirus blocks all vectors used by computer threats to expose sensitive user information. The cloud-based scanning increases the level of security even more.

Small System Footprint

The unique build of ESET NOD32 Antivirus has been optimised over the years to perfectly match the system environment. ESET engineered a smart solution with the lowest system footprint on the market ensuring fast startup and smooth performance.

Easy on You

ESET NOD32 Antivirus offers a clean visual experience, putting all important tools and functions at your fingertips. In case interaction is required, you are presented with intuitively obvious actions to address the issue.


Parental Control
Parental control lets you block sites that may contain potentially offensive material. In addition, parents can prohibit access to up to 20 pre-defined website categories.

Cloud Powered Scanning
Based on real-time streaming of threat-related information from the cloud, the ESET Virus lab keeps the reputation services up-to-date for a constant level of protection against Internet threats.

Improved Antispam
Our antispam module integrated in ESET Smart Security has undergone a thorough optimization process for even higher level of detection precision.

Enhanced Media Control
Block threats trying to get through to the system via removable media. ESET Smart Security 5 automatically prompts you to scan the content of all USB flash drives, CDs and DVDs. Block specific media based on a range of parameters like the device ID, media type, and serial number.

Intelligent Firewall
ESET Smart Security 5 helps you prevent unauthorised users from accessing your computer remotely and monitoring your network traffic.

Gamer Mode
When in full-screen mode, ESET Smart Security 5 automatically switches to silent mode, which saves system resources, so you can enjoy playing computer games or concentrate on important work tasks without distractions from pop-up messages.

Advanced HIPS Functionality
This one is for real Geeks – now you can customize the behavior of the system in greater detail: specify rules for the system registry, active processes and programs, and fine-tune your security posture.

Advanced Setup Tree
Redesigned advanced setup tree for more intuitive and easier navigation.

How freaky. Just today I thought, "hmmm there hasn't been an update to NOD 4 in a good while". So went hunting the web, and I was just about to post this but looks like you've beaten me to the punch.

Just this second finished downloading, so will install now. Apparently, I can install over the top?

Worth noting (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=298593) that you do not enable pre-release updates in the beta, otherwise they get overwritten by earlier v4 verisons (by the sounds of it).

Cheers.

I'm a reseller, so just happened to been emailed about it & thought I'd post it

They are finally killing of v2.7, which is good as I still see a lot of systems on that or v3 as well. A bit odd how it doesn't let the user update the program easily.

Haha, I've been thinking that of late. Normally Eset release updates to NOD32 quite often and I thought we've had nothing of late.

I do like the look of v5 but I must say that once I've installed NOD32 and set it all up I tend to leave it.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm installing it now.
