ESET, a global security software company providing next-generation virus protection, today announced the availability of the newest version of its award-winning flagship product, NOD32 version 2.5, which includes enhanced protection against spyware, adware, phishing and riskware. They furthermore have advised WinBeta that they are currently coding a 64Bit Anti-Virus product and expect to release it for beta testing in late May/early June. To-date ESET is one of only two security companies worldwide that have received Checkmark's certification for anti-spyware. To achieve certification, a product must be able to detect Trojans, key-loggers, cookies and other malware in the West Coast Labs spyware test suite. With the release of NOD32 v2.5, ESET is also launching ThreatSense.NET, an online early warning system that enables fast bidirectional notification of impending threats. NOD32 v2.5 utilizes ThreatSense technology, a sophisticated detection system based on advanced heuristics, to proactively identify previously-unknown viruses, Trojans, spyware and phishing attacks in real-time. ThreatSense is built into NOD32's single scanning engine to provide comprehensive protection so users do not need to rely on additional point solutions for spyware and adware protection. Additionally, slowed network and CPU performance is no longer an issue for end-users and IT administrators as NOD32 v2.5 consumes less than 20 MB of memory. Source: Winbeta
