ESET heeft versie 7.0 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 29,50 euro, terwijl er voor Smart Security 41 euro afgetikt moet worden. Als er een licentie voor verschillende jaren of diverse computers wordt afgenomen, daalt de prijs per stuk echter flink. Uitgebreide informatie over de veranderingen in versie 7.0 kunnen op deze pagina worden gevonden, dit is een korte samenvatting van de belangrijkste punten:
What's new in version 7
