ESET NOD32 Home Edition key benefits
Protects you from the unknown - Our Award-winning ThreatSense® technology uses various specialist techniques, including heuristics, in order to detect the latest and upcoming threats providing you with the most effective protection possible.Keeps your machine running faster for longer - ESET NOD32 Antivirus is lightning fast, so fast you won't even notice it's there. Even disk-intensive operations like performing a "full disk scan" run smoothly in the background without affecting your computer's speed.
Improves computer performance - ESET NOD32 Antivirus is "lean and mean," typically using just 44 MB of memory - a fraction of what other products consume. Because it's fast and "light," switching your existing antivirus protection to ESET NOD32 Antivirus can literally be like buying a new computer. Plus laptop users will also benefit from extended battery life thanks to our new automatic energy-sipping battery mode.
Finds malware other AV companies have let in - Typically when a new copy of ESET NOD32 replaces another antivirus product on a computer our software finds viruses or malware resident on the machine that were undetected by their previous antivirus product.

ESET NOD32 Home Edition key features
Smarter scanner – Threats don't always enter your computers in ways you expect. ESET NOD32 Antivirus scans all webpages and emails, including SSL encrypted, and intelligently scans compressed files to find hidden threats other products miss. Proactive protection begins as soon as your computer's operating system starts booting.Clean and safe Email – Email scanning for Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail, Windows Mail, Gmail and other POP3/IMAP mail clients ensures your email is free of viruses and other threats.
Removable media security – Viruses can enter your computer from removable media such as USB sticks, MP3 players and CDs/DVDs. For self-running media, ESET NOD32 Antivirus scans autorun.inf and associated files when inserted, in addition to scanning any file on any removable device when it is accessed or during a full-scan of the media. Advanced users can adjust ESET NOD32 Antivirus to perform additional levels of scanning on removable media.
System tools – For advanced users ESET SysInspector and ESET SysRescue simplify diagnosing and cleaning of infected systems by allowing deep scans of system processes to find hidden threats, and creating bootable rescue CD/DVD or USB drives to help you repair an infected computer.
Self defense – ESET NOD32 Antivirus has built-in technology to prevent malicious software from corrupting or disabling it, so you can rest assured your system is always protected.
