ESET heeft versie 6.0 van NOD32 Antivirus en Smart Security uitgebracht. Waar de eerste alleen beschermt tegen virussen, spyware en rootkits, heeft het tweede programma ook een firewall en spamfilter. Een licentie voor NOD32 Antivirus kost ongeveer 45 euro, terwijl er voor Smart Security 60 euro afgetikt moet worden. Wanneer er een licentie voor meerdere jaren of meerdere computers wordt afgenomen, daalt de prijs per stuk echter flink. In versie 6.0 is onder meer de mogelijkheid toegevoegd om naar een oudere versie van de virusdefinitie-database terug te keren en zijn de maatregelen tegen phishing verbeterd.
Rollback previous virus signature database
If you suspect that a virus signature database or product module update may be unstable or corrupt, you can roll back to the previous version and disable updates for a set period of time.
Improved Anti-Phishing protection
ESET NOD32 Antivirus will display a warning notification with several options when a web browser attempts to access websites or domains catalogued in the ESET malware database.
Regular full scan
For increased security, ESET NOD32 Antivirus version 6 can regularly perform a full scan of your computer during idle time. The scan is optimized not to run when the computer is operating on battery power. Regular full scans help detect inactive threats on the computer and improve ESET cloud information about known and unknown threats or files.
Scanning improvements of downloaded files
In previous versions, files downloaded from the internet were scanned by ESET only after they were completely downloaded. ESET NOD32 Antivirus version 6 scans specific file types (e.g. archives) during the download process so that the user does not have to wait until after the download process for files to be scanned.
Unified application notifications
The design and layout of all notification windows has been unified across version 6.
