ESET NOD32 Antivirus 5

[tw33k]

Back from the nearly dead, or at least the un-updated, ESET returns with high-level security that's light on your system. But for a top-tier suite, it's also light on features. Good thing it's priced lower, too.

I put 5 on my system earlier. They changed the Icon, now it's a green circle with an "i" in it.

I had it running since yesterday. I like the new interface. Some of the Advanced settings were hard to find but I think I worked it out.

It's not an i it's a ! and if you're seeing that something's not right. NOD32 probably wants you to install some Windows updates.

Everybody watch this

I love that video

ESET Smart Security 5 is here!

 

[Corrine]

I haven't had any problems with v5 but some people ran into activation issues. Here's a KB article dealing with it: Error activating product and cannot update virus signature database (5.x) - ESET Knowledgebase

Also note Alert: Activation/License server delays. It appears that the servers are getting hit pretty hard.

Few questions,

I will like to know who is the creator of eset\nod32.

Which country is the mother\maker of eset smart security? (Just asking)

If ill buy\have the new eset smart security 5 do i need also the malwarebytes paid version in real time protection?

If ill buy\have the new eset smart security 5 do i need also superantispyware free version for extra scans?

Or,do i need any other extra protection?

Hi, panais. I'll do my best to respond to your questions.

• I will like to know who is the creator of eset\nod32.
  
  From: ESET, LLC: Private Company Information - BusinessWeek
  
  The founding CEO is Anton Zajac
• Which country is the mother\maker of eset smart security? (Just asking)
  
  From: About ESET: - The Antivirus Company
  

  ESET has global headquarters in Bratislava, Slovakia, with distribution headquarters for the Americas located in San Diego, California. ESET also has offices in Buenos Aires, Prague, Krakow and Singapore and is represented by an extensive global partner network.

• If ill buy\have the new eset smart security 5 do i need also the malwarebytes paid version in real time protection?
  
  If you already have the paid/licensed version of MBAM, you certainly can continue using it. I have been using the licensed version of MBAM along side ESET Smart Security for a long time with no conflicts.
• If ill buy\have the new eset smart security 5 do i need also superantispyware free version for extra scans?
  
  Not likely, however, we all realize that each product adds definitions to their products at different rates, depending on submissions, testing, etc.
• Or,do i need any other extra protection?
  
  I continue using my favorite, WinPatrol. In addition, you may find SpywareBlaster and/or a HOSTS file program advantageous.

The opinions of others will likely differ from mine.

Ya, it needed to update something, now it's just a green and white bulls eye.
