The Good
The application worked smoothly on Windows 8.1 Pro during our evaluation, without hanging, crashing or popping up error messages. It contains help documentation and it is wrapped in a familiar, user-friendly interface.

It integrates a real-time guard, antivirus and antispyware, different scan modes, HIPS, enhanced exploit blocker, a self-defense mechanism against hijackers, password protection, web and email protection, along with scheduled tasks, notifications control and log files, among its notable features.

Advanced settings have the possibility to configure a rich range of scanning options to personalize the real-time guard and manual scan mode.

The Bad
We expected a better malware detection ratio from this particular program.

The Truth
With all things considered, the new version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus does not bring noteworthy changes as far as malware detection ratio is concerned. However, it brings powerful new features to the table to help users successfully fight off web-based attacks. Additional features can be explored in ESET Smart Security.
