Eset Nod32 Antivirus 2016 Download Free Virus Protection Program

Virus & Spyware Protection: 95%

Despite missing some adware, ESET NOD32 Antivirus 9 did well in our virus and malware protection tests.

For our first round of test, we first install ESET onto freshly installed and updated versions of Windows on all our test PCs.

Next, we intentionally infect those test PCs with different types of malware: adware, viruses, rootkits, trojans, viruses, rogueware, etc.

Resource Usage: 91%

Resource usage for ESET was very good. When running idle, ESET NOD32 Antivirus ran silently in the background.

When running a full-system scan, ESET used about 10% of system resources which is well within the acceptable range.

User Interface: 92%

ESET's user interface is new and improved this year. We thought last year's version was good; this year is a little better.

There's a standard left-hand navigation making it very easy to get around. Everything is clearly labeled, so finding any settings you need is easy.

Technical Support: 95%

ESET is one of just two companies in our line-up that includes 100% free, U.S.-based technical support.

Conclusion - Overall Score: 93%

• Very good virus removal
• Excellent real-time antivirus protection
• 100% Free U.S.-based technical support
• Outstanding antiphishing
• Good user interface

ESET performed well above average in each of our malware/virus tests despite missing some adware. While other antivirus software failed to block some obvious threats, ESET was able to protect our testing PCs against the really dangerous stuff.
