NOD32 Anti-Virus is highly regarded among users worldwide, but have received mixed response amongst reviewers who has been quick to point out that NOD32 Anti-Virus fails to detect many simulated viruses. In its defence, the maker of NOD 32, ESET, has referred to the wildly recognized Wildlist results, where NOD32 Anti-Virus has earned a 100% score more often than any other program.
Overall, it is our opinion that NOD32 Anti-Virus is a very good program, having one of the better detection records as well as some features rarely found in other antivirus software, for instance network support and password protection of settings. Unfortunately NOD32 Anti-Virus also lacks several basic features. We are especially disappointed in several options having to be configured manually. e.g. you have to configure NOD32 Anti-Virus every time you add an email account. Also, NOD32 doesn't yet protect against viruses in all common formats for compressed files.
The user interface is a bit clumsy and this software may be preferred by users who likes to fiddle with settings.
However, while ease of use is important, virus detection is the most important part of an antivirus program. As a virus detector NOD32 performs extremely well, and for that we put NOD32 on our recommended list.
