The Fourth Generation of ESET Security Solutions in the "Release Candidate" Version

February 18, 2009

As of today, ESET Smart Security 4 and ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 are in the "release candidate" phase, marking the beginning of intensive testing prior to market release. The new generation of ESET solutions was engineered for optimal effectiveness, with improved detection, even faster scanning speeds, and continued low demand on system resources.

ESET Smart Security was developed as a highly streamlined solution seamlessly integrating four functionalities - antivirus, antispyware, antispam, and a personal firewall. The predecessor to ESET Smart Security 4 has been available since October 2007.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus is the company’s flagship solution, earning wide accolades since its introduction in 1987, it has received a record number of awards—a total of 54—awarded by the prestigious Virus Bulletin VB100 test, and was recognized as the "Best Antivirus Product" in AV-Comparatives testing (2006 and 2007). It provides superior protection at home, as well as across company networks, incorporating advanced antispam and antispyware defenses.
