One of my friends lived without an antivirus for probably 5 years. No antivirus at all. And the funny thing is that everything was fine, no hassles with database updates or computer slowdowns. But one “wonderful” day the apple rotted, and the worm comfortably settled in the depths operating system🙂 From that moment on, the sugar was no longer so sweet, and the grass was not so green...
All I mean is that antivirus today is a mandatory program that should be installed on any computer and laptop, at least where there is Internet access. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of antiviruses, but the ones we hear are the same: , Avira, Norton and others. At different times I was an adherent of each of them.
Now, I’ve been sitting on ESET NOD32 for about 3 years now. I won’t kneel myself in the back and shout what it is best antivirus of all times and peoples, but I will say that he is good. Does its job well and doesn't bother me. At first I wanted to write instructions on how to use it, but then I thought, why? I have no desire to write “how to click the mouse,” especially since I have.
What's interesting to know about ESET NOD32
Therefore, I decided to write about some aspects that are useful to know about. In general, everything works on default settings immediately after installation.
Two versions
First of all, there are two versions of the program:
- "ESET NOD32 Antivirus" - only virus protection
- "ESET NOD32 Smart Security» - includes network security, i.e. firewall/firewall
I use Smart Security, but, in principle, if the computer is connected to the Internet via a router, the latest updates for Windows 7/8/10 are installed and the built-in Windows firewall, then you can limit yourself to the regular version. But I don’t see the point in this, even if there are no important documents on the computer. There is never too much.
The only difference is in price - the option with a firewall is more expensive. But, since you can use free keys (more on this below), this factor is of little significance.
Where to get keys for the latest version of ESET NOD32
The program is not free, but it is quite inexpensive. But you can use the antivirus legally and for free. The fact is that when you first install the program, you are given a trial (temporary, trial) key. After its expiration date, you need to buy a normal key. If you already have a license for the old node32, and then you installed new version, then the username and password must be converted to the new key format, which consists of 20 characters.
But there are sites that provide an endless number of TRIAL keys for free. For example, this site https://vopros-i-otvet.blogspot.com/, by the way, everything here has already been converted, you just need to copy any key and paste it into the antivirus. If it doesn’t work, then you need to try the next one. New keys must be posted every day.
Protection of financial transactions
In the 9th version NOD32 appeared interesting feature"Bank payment protection." You can find it in the main window:
If you click there, NOD32 opens a new, protected browser window. Now you can enter the address of the site where you will carry out banking, financial or other confidential transactions. The point is that in the new window, the antivirus protects the transmitted data and does not save it on disk. It even has its own database of sites, on which NOD32 offers to enable bank payment protection mode. By the way, there is one that can be used to restrict access to unwanted resources in the office or at home.
Anti-theft
A cool thing that will make life much easier if your computer or laptop is stolen. The essence of the work is this: turn on the function and register on a special website, add your computer. Now, if the device is stolen, the main thing is that the criminal turns it on and connects to the Internet. And we need to go to the site from another computer and click the “Stolen” button. From now on we can:
- Follow a person through a webcam, take a photo to transfer to the police
- Write a message to the attacker, attaching a photo of your face for added effect
- NOD32 will try to determine the location of the laptop based on the Wi-Fi connection point
The main thing is that the antivirus now protects your credentials. And this is worth a lot, because for many, the loss of hardware is not as important as access to accounts.
Watch the official video of how it works:
Automatic flash drive check
Flash drives that are used in public places are infected. Therefore, even today, when it would seem computer literacy people have grown up, you still need to check removable drives. In NOD32 this feature is enabled by default and when a new one appears removable media, you will see a dialogue about further actions.
I only use my flash drives, so I disabled the Device Control feature.
Game Mode
It will appeal to gamers who are annoyed by pop-up messages and questions during the game. It’s especially annoying when at a crucial moment it throws you onto your desktop and you “die...”
Here's what I like about ESET
And the main thing why I love NOD32 is its impeccably fast operation. In fact, the antivirus is constantly running and scans everything transferred files, running programs, mail, links. This requires resources, and the trick is that Nod uses them little and does not load the system.
I have never had any freezes or slowdowns, just like virus infections 😉 And in the eleventh version, the developers have further improved and optimized the work. And daily update packages are also kept to a minimum size. So background updating has virtually no effect on the speed of the computer.
