Nod 32 Antivirus
Posted on November 7, 2007 by admin
NOD 32 antivirus is one of the best antivirus suites that actually work and manage to keep your computer as safe as ever. Personally I use it for three years and I had no problem. It is very simple to use, it’s cheap and when it comes to computer resources you won’t even remark it. That’s because it’s kernel is optimized for best performances even when you install it on an old computer (Pentium 2, 500 Mhz, 129 MB Ram).
Nod32 it’s made by Eset, a slovakian software company. The name comes from a TV series called „Hospital at the Edge of the City”. The creators of this software replaced the word „city” from the title with the word „disk” and translated the sentence in slovakian, ”Nemocnica na Okraji Disku” aka NOD.
The protecting system has 4 different modules, each with an important role in your computer’s protection: AMON, DMON, IMON, EMON.
AMON (Antivirus MONitor) – the resident (running in operating memory at all times) or file system monitor. This program is the most crucial antivirus defense tool and should always be enabled.
DMON (Document MONitor) – this scanner provides protection from macro viruses in MS Office documments, works with applications utilizing MS Antivirus API (e.g. MS Office 2000 and higher, Internet Explorer 5.0 and higher)
IMON (Internet MONitor) – this scanner provides the first line of defense by monitoring Internet traffic (POP3 protocol for e-mail and HTTP for files downloaded from the Internet via HTTP)
EMON (E-mail MONitor) – this scanner provides protection from email-borne viruses for MAPI compatible mail clients
With the help of this 4 modules, Nod scans in real time any activity and automatically blocks any suspicious entry. The last build is Vista ready and it can be bought from the official site www.eset.com.
