particular level.

In its November 2003 Antivirus Test Comparison,
PC Chip Croatia rated NOD32 as the #1 performer in both speed and
detection . . . ahead of antivirus industry heavyweights Norton, McAfee,
TrendMicro, Kaspersky, AVG, eTrust, H+BEDV, Panda, and Sophos.
"Since the beginning NOD32 was rudely neglected in favor of
"big names" - the famous web site Cnet went so far as to
bury NOD32 as a third class program with doubtful quality - but they
could not have gone further from the truth, because NOD32 is the winner
of many awards and cerificates from the most respected independent
labs and groups in the antivirus industry." wrote the PC Chip
Editor in his review.

Chosen as the BEST ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM OF 2001 by PC User Magazine of Australia. "In PC User's most recent antivirus tests, only one program provided 100% protection against all viruses in a very large test set --- NOD32." Not surprising since NOD32 is the only product to have never missed an "In The Wild" virus during Virus Bulletin Testing.
"NOD32 also has effective heuristics to protect against unknown viruses, and the company is really on the ball with updates." Next Generation Antivirus programs use advanced heuristics to detect new Viruses, Worms, Trojans and assorted Malware - NOD32 has the most advanced heuristics available.
"The penalty for thorough scanning is normally a longer scan time, but NOD32 was the fastest as well as the most thorough." NOD32 avoids the baggage carried by most other programs - written in machine code NOD32 scans the executable files at least two times faster than any other antivirus product available.
"Is it any wonder we awarded NOD32 as PC User's Best Antivirus Program of 2001?" Actually it is a very pleasant surprise to see a major publication willing to acknowledge the superior performance of a product that doesn't spend any money advertising in it.
"NOD32, more than any other program, is simply a must-have!!!" |
