I may (or may not) have posted about this before... but I'm too lazy to check. I was reminded about it because I just planted some ads for this product on one of my sites.
I've been farting around with computers for a long time -- since the 1970's, in fact. In that time, I've probably used every major antivirus program out there.
I must say, ESET NOD-32 is the only one I've used that I've been 100 percent happy with. I've been using it for a few years now on all my Windows machines, and I can't think of a bad thing to say about it. It's never missed a piece of malware; it has very good heuristics with almost no false positives; it's solidly locked me out of probably dozens of sites that had recently been hijacked or compromised; it does a better job of keeping up with OS patches and updates than Windows Update does; and it has a nice, small footprint and very modest resource usage.
All of the antivirus vendors seem to have their "golden ages," and I've sworn by others over the years. But NOD-32 has enjoyed a longer tenure as my favorite than any other I've used thus far.
Just thought I'd share that, for whatever it's worth.
