ESET NOD32 Antivirus V3.0 and ESET Smart Security Business Editions Now Available
Integrated Solution Delivers Unmatched Speed and Accuracy in a Dispersed Computing Environment
SAN DIEGO – November 26, 2007 – ESET, the leader in proactive threat protection, today announced the general availability of ESET Smart Security Business Edition, a new, highly integrated security solution for enterprises and small-to-medium-sized businesses. It includes antivirus, antispyware, antispam and firewall features built on ESET’s award-winning advanced heuristic ThreatSense® detection system and the ESET NOD32 Antivirus scanning engine. The Business Edition also incorporates ESET’s Remote Administrator, allowing both ESET Smart Security and the new version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus to be deployed and managed remotely from a central location.
“ESET understands that businesses are looking for maximum protection, low system requirements, accurate results and fast scanning speeds—all at a low total cost of ownership,” said Anton Zajac, CEO of ESET, LLC. “With ESET Smart Security, we’ve been able to deliver the industry’s highest level of accuracy with the fewest false-positives, thereby virtually eliminating the man hours traditionally spent chasing after inaccurate results. Our solution runs behind the scenes and even in large dispersed deployments, it operates with industry-leading scanning speed and near-zero impact on system performance.”
With significantly lower performance overhead compared to the competition, ESET Smart Security uses only 40MB of disk space and scans systems up to 30-times faster than other products. And unlike security suites which combine standalone products, ESET Smart Security tightly integrates the antispyware, antispam and firewall features with the new version of ESET’s flagship ESET NOD32 Antivirus scanning engine. This tight integration allows each module to share information with the other to evaluate and classify every threat appropriately within the ThreatSense detection system.
ESET’s ThreatSense technology provides the industry’s highest level of accuracy. It is the only antivirus technology that has not missed an in-the-wild-virus in Virus Bulletin VB 100 testing over the past nine years, while producing only one false-positive during that time. It has also received more Advanced+ awards from AV-Comparatives.org for proactive protection than any other product.
Unique to ESET Smart Security and ESET NOD32 Antivirus V3.0 Business Edition:
• Hands-on service – All ESET customers receive the same level of excellent technical support service, whether an individual computer user or an SMB.
• Ease of installation – ESET Smart Security and ESET NOD32 Antivirus V3.0 Business Edition scanning engines are quick and easy to install, no matter what solution is currently running.
• Advanced threat protection network – ESET solutions are backed by ThreatSense.Net, a global early warning system built into the products. ThreatSense.Net extends the power of ThreatSense’s powerful analytics by automatically submitting samples of and information about new malware to ESET researchers for analysis, thus helping to close the window of vulnerability opened by new threats.

ESET solutions are built on ESET’s one-of-a-kind ThreatSense technology. This advanced heuristics engine enables proactive detection of malware not covered by even the most frequently updated signature-based products by decoding and analyzing executable code in real time, using an emulated environment. By allowing malware to execute in a secure virtual world, ESET is able to clearly differentiate between benign files and even the most sophisticated and cleverly-disguised malware. ESET Smart Security takes this advanced methodology to the next level by applying it to the integrated solution as a whole, passing evaluation information between its integrated features for the most accurate protection possible.
