Industry tests and data to show the differences in detection, size and speed of NOD32's top competitors. Compare the data against Symantec, McAfee, Kaspersky and Trend. Find out why NOD32 is the Safest, Fastest, Smallest solution.
Best Detection of Known and Evolving Threats
Approximately
88% of threats are proactively detected using ThreatSense heuristics.
For example, all variants of MyDoom, Netsky, Bagle and Mytob were
detected heuristically - before most other vendors even had a
signature. Compare to Competition.
NOD32
receives the highest awards (ADVANCED+) in retrospective testing, due
to its high proactive on-demand detection rate and low rate of false
positives. NOD32 includes one of the fastest scanners in the industry,
earning the status of Overall Anti-Virus product winner of 2006.

In-the-Wild
Virus Detection - ESET is the record holder of 42 VB100 awards
collected over the last 9 years. These tests validate the products
ability to detect known malware. (source: www.virusbtn.com).
NOD32 has missed fewer In-the-Wild viruses than any other vendor in VirusBulletin testing, as shown below.
Fastest Performance
With
NOD32, it's not necessary to sacrifice speed for detection. Scanning
and update processes happen behind the scenes without a perceptible
decrease in performance.
19MB/sec scanning rate under Windows 2003
Three to 34 times faster than the leading brands under Windows XP
Keep employees productive by minimizing the impact on their systems
Minimal Resource Utilization
NOD32
conserves resources on disk and in memory, leaving more room for
critical applications. It is compact enough to run on modest systems,
saving valuable memory without compromising performance or
functionality, yet powerful enough to slam the door on malware
intrusions.
Utilizes approximately 22MB of RAM, one of the smallest packages in the industry
Low RAM usage and intelligent caching reduces disk access and memory paging
Low 4% performance overhead (source: Canon/ESET testing, August 2006)
