Best Antivirus Software for Detecting and Eliminating Known and Evolving Threats
-
Approximately 80% of threats discovered by ESET are proactively detected using ThreatSense® Heuristics .
For example, all variants of MyDoom, Netsky, Bagle and Mytob were detected heuristically—well before other vendors had issued a signature.
-
When it comes to "In-the-Wild," virus detection, no one even comes close, as the following chart illustrates.
Over the past nine years, ESET has collected 52 VB100 awards—more than any other vendor.

ESET NOD32® Antivirus consistently receives the highest possible rating—ADVANCED+—from
