The ESET Nod32 Antivirus platform is one of the smallest, most powerful and user-friendly tools available. Beginners as well as advanced users can benefit from the quick download, easy installation and rapid scanning technology that come with the trial version. It supports windows operating systems along with both the AMD and Intel processor, and it only requires 50MB of disk space.

There are an amazing array of features that are on-par to other popular security tools, and they include a simple to use menu. Fast scanning of viruses, trojans, mal-ware and other threats allow users to spend more time enjoying their computer instead of waiting for scans to finish. Gamers and programmers alike will love how the program offers an option to run in stealth mode. It can suspend notifications, alerts, updates and scans at the click of a button so that users can work or play without any interruptions.

This program has a few annoying limitations that may bother more advanced users, and people should explore the free trial before deciding whether or not to subscribe. Its advanced settings menu is hard to find and navigate, and it does not perform email, Instant Messaging or social media scans.

The fast and lightweight tools found in this powerful little package outweigh any of the minor drawbacks, and the average person will be more than happy with using this as their main antivirus software. The big names that are associated with computer protection have not been able to duplicate the way the ESET Nod32 Antivirus software doesn't slow down the computer when in use, and this is definitely an important factor to consider.

Advanced users may want to look elsewhere, but the majority of people who need a powerful and effective antivirus tool will be very happy with what this little powerhouse can offer.
