We are not competing with other vendors on features we want to stay lean and detect malware,” he says. “What we seek to do is find a perfect balance of detection, speed, and false positives. NOD32 Antivirus 4 Business Edition purposely does not include device control, encryption, or any of the other capabilities that sometimes turn lightweight antivirus programs into bloated corporate security suites, according to Jeff Chen, ESET’s manager of product marketing. (The “NOD” portion of the product name stems from a pun on the title of a popular Slovakian TV show.) The company may be relatively unknown in North America, but ESET’s antivirus products command a global market share of around 10 percent - ahead of industry heavyweights such as Symantec and McAfee - according to OPSWAT’s latest Security Industry Market Share Analysis. The company is headquartered in Bratislava, Slovakia - although it also maintains an office in San Diego, California.

Like many anti-virus vendors, ESET’s roots are in eastern Europe. The program’s value proposition is simple: Detection of known and unknown threats with fast scanning speeds and low false positive detection rates. ESET’s NOD32 Antivirus 4 Business Edition is a straightforward, no-nonsense anti-malware program for small and mid-sized organizations.
