The platform for the test was Windows 2000 Server, just
barely on the edge of supported status and almost certainly
seeing its last outing in the VB lab.
Virus Bulletin, October 2006

The default Vet engine, while very slightly slower in the throughput tests than the alternative provided, achieved marginally better results in the zoo virus detection, and did just as well in scanning the ItW and clean test sets, earning CA its VB 100% award.
Virus Bulletin, August 2006

NOD32 was the first product in this month¡¦s test with which I could find no real fault. Full detection across all test sets and a lack of false positives leave me little to comment on and earn Eset a well-deserved VB 100% to add to its collection.
Virus Bulletin, June 2006

Returning to Dazuko products, the Eset submission not only performed admirably in detection, but also offered well documented installation procedures. There was thus ample reason to award NOD32 a further VB 100% for its collection.

NOD32 is very light on hard disk space and, amazingly, uses little memory. We were also very pleased with the short time it took to scan the entire hard
disk. Fast, secure, and easy on the computer's memory and hard disk, it is hard to fault the NOD32.

NOD32 has a strong histroy of detecting all infected files, with only a few minor deviations over the years. Yet again, no infected samples ware missed across this month's test sets. A VB100% award of Eset is the predictable result.
Virus Bulletin, October 2005

ESET, a global security software company providing next-generation malware protection, today announced that their flagship product, NOD32, received its 33rd consecutive Virus Bulletin 100% award for flawless virus protection.
SAN DIEGO, August 2005

" NOD32 has been awarded its 32nd VirusBulletin 100% Award , continuing its remarkable record of not missing a single in-the-wild virus in any VB test. "
Virus Bulletin, April 2005

"The results of scanning were eminently predictable: all files were detected, with a VB 100% award the equally predictable result."
Virus Bulletin, April 2005

Since May 1998, NOD32 has been the only antivirus product in the world that has not missed a single (ItW) worm or virus in the rigorous testing conducted by the Virus Bulletin. This time the Virus Bulletin re-tested the Windows 2003 Server platform.

Since the last time the Virus Bulletin tested this platform, close to 90 new worms were added to the !¡±In the Wild!¡L (ItW) category. Once again, NOD32 won the 100% Award for detection of all (ItW) worms and viruses while getting no false positives. Additionally, NOD32 outperformed all 26 products tested by having the fastest scanning rates for the executable files!

Eset's VP for Latin America, Ignacio Sbampato, received the Best Conference Award at the largest IT Latin America Conference in Panama for his excellent presentation of the latest trends and strategies in the battle against computer viruses. The lecture focused on the defense of the corporate networks and the unique characteristics of NOD32 combating the current threats. FITEC was held in Panama City, Panama, between September 30th and October 3rd and served as official forum for Micro Technology ( www.nod32pa.com ), ESET's exclusive distributor for the region, to launch the new version of NOD32 Antivirus on the Panama market.

Julio Miranda, President of Micro Technology commented: "The high interest shown by the attendants due to the great features of NOD32 Antivirus, low impact, speed, accuracy and advanced heuristics, indicates that NOD32 is quickly becoming one of the  most favorite antivirus products in Panama. Our clients are impressed by the world record number of Virus Bulletin VB 100% Awards that NOD32 holds".
"Micro Technology's IT security solutions expertise with local offices in Panama will provide our clients with state of the art protection and reliable services when needed.", commented Ignacio Sbampato, Eset's VP for Latin America.

NOD32 expands its record of being the only antivirus system in the world that has not missed a single “In The Wild” virus, in the comprehensive testing conducted by the industry’s leading authority, the Virus Bulletin. This record is over six years old and growing!

NOD32 for NetWare retains the distinction of functioning as two NLM’s, a module for the on-access scanner and one for the on-demand scanner. On-demand scans are performed via a command-line interface. NOD32 has had this configuration for a long while and it serves very well as a local solution on NetWare.

Of the ten (10) products tested, NOD32 was only one of two with all samples detected on both on access and on demand scanning, with no false positives. In addition, NOD32's scanning rate of the executable files was almost twice as fast of the other product with 100% detection and up to six times faster than some of the other products tested.

Once again, NOD32 sets records for detection and efficiency of operations.

For more than six years, NOD32 remains the only antivirus system in the world that has not missed any 'In the Wild' virus in the prestigious tests performed by the international magazine - Virus Bulletin. Out of the 25 antivirus products tested on Windows XP platform, NOD32 was one of the 3 that have achieved a clean sweep detecting all the viruses in all the test sets in both on-demand and on-access tests without any false alarm. However, NOD32's scanning rate of the executable files was more than 3.8 times higher than the second best product and 21 times higher than the third of the products with 100% detection rate.

Since May 1998, close to six years (!), the NOD32 Antivirus System has been the only product in the world that has not missed a single !¡±In the Wild!¡L virus in the rigorous testing conducted by the antivirus industry !¢Dbible', the Virus Bulletin ( www.virusbulletin.com ). The tests performed on Red Hat Linux 9 last month proved to be no exception. NOD32 not only did not miss any !¡±In the Wild!¡L virus, but its overall scanning rate was faster than any of its 14 competitors. This test has, as many tests before have, once again proven what Virus Bulletin said about NOD32 several years ago: !¡±It is almost a truism in the antivirus world that you must choose between fast scanning speed and good virus detection. NOD32 bucks that idea by effectively coupling the two.!¡L

With yet another "clean sweep" of every virus in every category, NOD32 retains its championship title as the only antivirus program in the world that has never missed an In the Wild virus in a Virus Bulletin test!

In its November 2003 Antivirus Test Comparison, PC Chip Croatia rated NOD32 as the #1 performer in both speed and detection . . . ahead of antivirus industry heavyweights Norton, McAfee, TrendMicro, Kaspersky, AVG, eTrust, H+BEDV, Panda, and Sophos.

"Since the beginning NOD32 was rudely neglected in favor of "big names" - the famous web site Cnet went so far as to bury NOD32 as a third class program with doubtful quality - but they could not have gone further from the truth, because NOD32 is the winner of many awards and cerificates from the most respected independent labs and groups in the antivirus industry." wrote the PC Chip Editor in his review.

NOD32 extends its stunning series of VB100% awards to an unprecedented 24th VB100% award. Viewing the fact that it did not miss a single virus in any of the tests, it distances itself even further from the other competitive antivirus products, which entered the test.

Thanks to its unique concept featuring an advanced heuristics technology is NOD32 able to detect both known and unidentified viruses. This gives the user an ultimate advantage to be protected against viruses that might be spreading in the future.

NOD32 also dismisses a common users' concern that antivirus are very resource demanding, by an awesome performance rate of 9.270 kB/s, which is more than twice the speed of the second other perfect-scoring products.

"The Checkmark certification of NOD32 for Windows 2003 to AV [Anti-Virus] Levels 1,2 and Trojan, is the hallmark of a company whose philosophy is to be a cutting-edge AV developer," commented Chris Thomas, Operations Director of West Coast Labs, in a statement announcing the results.
“West Coast Labs’ certification process represents the true test of an antivirus product’s capability to detect viruses, worms, and Trojans. Eset is pleased to provide its growing client base even further proof of the top detection qualities of NOD32 Antivirus on the Windows 2003 platform,” commented Miroslav Trnka, Eset’s Chief Technology Officer.

Unprecedented Virus Detection
NOD32 Checkmark certification comes just after the product received its record 23rd Virus Bulletin VB100% Awards granted by Virus Bulletin, the “Antivirus Industry Bible”. Analysts have confirmed the company’s claim of having the only product to never miss an ‘In the Wild’ (ItW) virus during its Virus Bulletin testing since May 1998.

InfoWorld is a division of IDG, the world's leading technology, media, research, and event company. IDG publishes more than 300 magazines and newspapers and offers online users the largest network of technology-specific sites around the world through IDG.net, which comprises more than 330 targeted Websites in 80 countries.

NOD32's remarkable five-year run of 100% detection of every ItW virus is due to its unique core technology which addresses both known and unknown viruses. Although there are at least 50,000 viruses (some sources put the figure as high as 80,000) known to exist today, the most dangerous are ItW (In the Wild) viruses - those viruses independently reported by two or more top antivirus researchers worldwide as currently spreading through normal user contact. In even the few short hours it takes for virus labs to analyze and create patches or updates, rapid Internet "virus propagation time" enables new ItW viruses to achieve worldwide infiltration and cause widespread damage.
NOD32, by virtue of its advanced heuristics technology, provides state-of-the-art protection against both ItW and unidentified viruses. Heuristic analysis enables NOD32 to detect virus-like activity, thereby automatically initiating action to isolate the infected files. NOD32's remarkable scanning rate enables it to do its job without impacting system performance - a major concern for many users.
Any product in a Virus Bulletin VB100% test that detects 100% of all ItW viruses in both the On-demand and On-access tests without any false positives is granted the VB100% Award. In the latest VB100% test, conducted in June 2003 on the Windows XP Professional Platform, a total of 32,184 viruses were missed by 24 other products. NOD32 was one of only two products that did not miss a single virus in any of the tests.
Generally, antivirus products are expected to be either a good virus detector or a fast scanner. In Virus Bulletin's published test results, in addition to unbeatable 100% detection, NOD32 also demonstrated an awesome throughput rate in excess of five million kilobytes per second - a scanning speed 3.7 times faster than the only other perfect-scoring product, and a full 5 times faster when scanning EXE files.

The NOD32 Antivirus System has again demonstrated its unprecedented detection efficiency in the latest exhaustive test comparative of 21 antivirus products performed by the prestigious international journal of the antivirus industry, Virus Bulletin. The tests were carried out on the Windows 2000 Advanced Server platform, and were published in the November 2002 issue.
Detection capability and scanning speed are the two key parameters of an efficient antivirus system. Of the 21 participating products, only two were able to match NOD32's detection level of "100% clean sweep" ... but the second and third best contenders took 4.5 times and 14 times longer than NOD32 to complete the scans ... once again confirming NOD32's position as the world's fastest and most accurate scanner.
Since its first submission for testing in May 1998, NOD32 has not missed a single In the Wild virus in Virus Bulletin tests. Now the holder of an unequalled 20 Virus Bulletin 100% Awards, NOD32 is well on its way towards its fifth consecutive year of worldwide leadership in virus detection.

"NOD32 remained speedy ... full In the Wild detection for both boot and file viruses was sufficient to garner another VB 100% award. Misses were, in fact, absent in any test set." (Virus Bulletin, November 2002, p.20)

"The antivirus program that clearly distinguished itself from the rest was NOD32 […] NOD32 was the antivirus program that stood out the most in our performance tests. A full virus scan of the whole harddrive only took two minutes and two seconds, compared to the majority of the other antivirus programs that needed between five and seven minutes for accomplishing the same task."

MikroDatorn also tested how much impact the different antivirus programs had on the overall performance of the computer. NOD32 distinguished itself in this test as well:

"NOD32 performed best with a barely noticable performance impact that we rounded down to zero percent... The program required so little resources that it hardly could be measured by our benchmark program Sysmark 2000."

There is no question about it, the developers at Eset have done a remarkably fine job in developing NOD32. Not only does NOD32 do an exellent job in detecting viruses, it does it with lightning speed as well, and without having negative impact on performance.

Eset, congratulations!

The NOD32 Antivirus System has won its 19th VB100 Award from the prestigious "Antivirus Industry Bible", Virus Bulletin, after making yet another "clean sweep" of 100% of all viruses in every test set, combined with the fastest scan rate.

"NOD32 retained its impressive performance history, detecting all files in all test sets. This, combined with no false positive detections, gains NOD32 yet another VB 100% Award." (Virus Bulletin - August 2002)

A total of 2246 viruses were missed by the nine participating products in the August Comparative Review. NOD32 was the only product which did not miss a single virus in any of the four tests sets used.
NOD32's combined hard disk scan rate of the executable, zipped executable, OLE2, and zipped OLE2 files was by far the highest. NOD32 was more than 6.9 times faster than NAI McAfee Netshield to scan all files, for example ... yet McAfee did not receive the award.
NOD32 continues to be the only product on the market which has not missed a single "In the Wild" virus since its first submission to the Virus Bulletin test labs in May 1998, and has maintained its stranglehold on the record number of Virus Bulletin 100% Awards.
Symantec have no version capable of working with Novell NetWare 6, and they were allowed to withdraw their Norton AntiVirus v7.60 Corporate Edition version product from the August Comparative Review due to "some problems". Symantec's strategic withdrawal means that NOD32 has again increased its lead over its largest competitor in terms of the number of VB100 Awards won.
In the past, some people may have questioned the seriousness and validity of Eset's bold advertising statement :

"You can have a virus or an Antivirus. Make your choice NOD32."

These latest test results from Virus Bulletin, the world's #1 independent antivirus testing authority, prove it's not just hype and Snake Oil !!!
