SAN DIEGO – November 14, 2006 – ESET, the leader in proactive threat protection, today announced that its upgrade to ESET NOD32 Antivirus software, version 2.7, with support for Microsoft Windows Vista will be available on Friday, November 17, 2006 The enhanced software is one of the few malware solutions on the market today that is fully compatible with x64 versions of Vista, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. In addition, the upgrade to ESET NOD32 also features enhanced anti-stealth technology that offers more comprehensive protection against rootkits through its ability to see the true state of running processes and the file system. Rootkits enable hackers to maintain control of a compromised system by hiding their presence.
ESET’s rootkit protection is integrated into the ThreatSense® engine. Competitors typically offer this kind of solution as a stand-alone tool or as part of a larger suite. ESET NOD32 makes it easy for users to be protected with minimal system impact.
What’s New in NOD32, version 2.7:
* Support for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft’s Windows Vista operating system.
* Improved rootkit protection and detection that proactively and transparently defeats active rootkits, which are typically hidden from the user.
* Expanded categorization of malware includes potentially unwanted applications such as adware that may not be malicious, and the renaming of potentially unsafe applications like keyloggers, remote administrators, etc. These categories are capable of being turned off or on.
ESET NOD32 version 2.7 is available Friday, November 17, 2006. Existing NOD32 users will receive a free update automatically within 30-days. Pricing for 25-user small business is $1,080 for one year, which includes licenses for a file and mail server and 25 desktops. Pricing for individual home and home office users begins at $39. For large or enterprise quotes call 866-343-ESET or e-mail sales@ESET.com.
