ESET NOD32 Antivirus has more “VB100” awards than any other AV product

ESET, the leader in proactive protection celebrating 25 years of its technology this year, has achieved yet another milestone with its 75th VB100” award from Virus Bulletin – a renowned independent security software testing organization. This makes ESET’s NOD32 Antivirus the recipient of more VB100 awards than any other AV product on the market.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus 5 was tested in the Windows 7 environment, achieving impressive results in all categories. “Still maintaining an epic run of success in VB100 testing, ESET’s current product line has grown pretty familiar over the last few years and rarely gives us much trouble,” states Virus Bulletin in its latest report. The VB Award is highly esteemed in the antivirus industry due to its rigorous testing methods, because there is no entry fee and repeat testing is not allowed.

“Our 75th VB100 is a true milestone for ESET and comes 14 years after we won our first award with NOD32 1.00. It was a great start for the NOD32 product. Once again, in 2012, this award is a testament of the stability and reliability of our technology and teamwork,”
says ESET CEO Richard Marko.

“Even though these awards have become expected of ESET, it increasingly requires more effort and flawless job performance as the pressure mounts,”
adds ESET Chief Research Officer Juraj Malcho.
