Features
NOD32's user-interface is very clean and simple looking, yet very effective. The program comes defaulted to Standard Mode which is fine for most users. In Standard Mode the options are limited but the antivirus program runs fine - it's probably a good idea to hide the majority of the options, since for most users the extra options can be confusing. Simple is definitely good in this case.
For advanced users NOD32 has an Advanced Mode that gives the user much more control over the software with the many more options made available. NOD32's options are well thought out and give you more control over the program than any other antivirus program we've tested this year.
Eset's ThreatSense technology gives you protection against new viruses before they can be analyzed - this gives you Zero-Day protection against viruses and other malware.
