ESET NOD32 Antivirus is a Windows software program that runs smoothly in the background while protecting you from viruses and malware as well as threats against your browser and applications. ESET has enhanced the software's ability to detect attacks specifically designed to evade antivirus detection and virtually eliminates lockscreens and ransomware. This software speeds up system scans by skipping files that have already been scanned while downloaded and whitelisting files which are deemed safe based upon the ESET Live Grid file reputation database. Additionally, it safeguards against fake websites trying to steal your personal information, while the Social Media Scanner feature screens Facebook and Twitter accounts for malicious content.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus helps protect your files in other ways such as preventing unauthorized copying of your private data to external devices. It can also block devices connecting via Bluetooth or utilizing your computer's ports. Furthermore, it stops the use of storage media such as CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, and disk storage devices. This software is available to you via download and protects up to three computers for a year.
