| Automatic Update Module of ESET’s antivirus
software for windows ME as well as antivirus software for Windows
98 and 95 also features the following:
- Supports frequent incremental updates and upgrades of the
executable components.
- Most updates are performed ‘on-the-fly’ (no reboot is required).
- Small incremental update of the virus database minimises
network congestion and download times.
- Allows flexible scheduling of updates and selection of various
update profiles.
- Checks for updates of the system at user-defined intervals
or even upon the occurrence of a predefined event.
- Provides intelligent update options for computers on dial-up
access.
- Supports proxy-servers (Basic and NTLM authentication).
- Provides authentication of the origin of downloaded update
files using a digital signature technique.
- Supports updating from a local site without accessing the
Internet, such as from a server within a LAN.
- The upgrade system can be configured to reflect a multi-level
hierarchy and/or other needs of a large company or organization
to maximize virus and spyware protection for Windows.
- Creates updates to a floppy or CD for PCs that are not connected
to the network.
- Configuration settings can be distributed to local workstations
from an administrator’s computer.
- Provides the option to use a configuration file to set system
parameters across the network during initial installation and/or
subsequent updates.
- Supports ‘silent mode’ on end-user workstations: notification
messages may be forwarded to an administrator only.
- Allows the settings to be password protected.
Centralised Log file system provides information on:
- On-demand scanner results
- Relevant events (e.g. performed updates, executed tasks,
etc.)
- Infiltrations detected by resident modules and filters
NOD32 Scanning Modules
All the scanning modules of NOD32 system (on-access monitors, filters,
on-demand scanners, e-mail server solutions, gateway filters, API
and DLL modules, etc.) use the same sophisticated scanning engine
across all the supported platforms to provide the best virus and
spyware protection for Windows.
NOD32 Scanning Engine Key Features:
- The highest detection and scanning rate performance of spyware
antivirus protection for Windows
- Unprecedented heuristic analysis capable of exposing DOS,
Boot, Win32, macro, script and other viruses and worms in the
wild.
- Built in powerful virtual emulator enables detection of the
most sophisticated polymorphic and metamorphic viruses.
- Virus detection in compressed or protected executable files,
such as UPX, AsPack, FSG, Petite, Neolite, ExeStealth, yoda's
Crypter, PECompact, Pklite, Lzexe, Diet, Exepack, CPAV.
- Support of many archive formats, e.g. ZIP, RAR, ARJ, LZH,
LHA, CAB, CHM, TAR, GZIP.
- Detection of viruses in encrypted, password protected databases
and documents.
- Use of heuristic and algorithmic methods to clean viruses.
- Cleaning of macro viruses and restoration of the documents
to original format.
- Recovery of the most important system areas (functions) in
the event of an infection.
- Storage of infected files in a safe format (not allowing
execution) into the quarantine.
- Search speed is maximized through associative, multilevel
cache and low-level code optimizations.
- Use of very fast single-point samples and CRCs for precise
detection.
- Use of very few system resources.
- Disinfection/quarantining of the files automatically, on-the-fly
AMON
AMON (Antivirus MONitor) is an on-access (memory-resident) scanner
features included in the antivirus software for windows ME as well
as antivirus software for Windows 98 and 95 and other workstations.
Even though it is at full alert, it works silently in the background
and you will probably not even notice its presence until it denies
access to an infected file and pops up a warning window.
Key Features:
- Utilises the advanced NOD32 scanning engine.
- Prevents infected files from being opened, executed and warns
upon their creation.
- Automatic execution on system startup.
- Scans floppy boot sector upon access and during shutdown.
- Sends notification of infections or errors over network or
via e-mail using the SMTP protocol.
- Supports multiple Terminal Server environments.
- Scans also mapped network disks
IMON & EMON
IMON (Internet MONitor), is the second NOD32 resident scanner. It
runs on the Winsock level and scans internet traffic (e-mail) incoming
via the POP3 protocol. IMON replaces the NOD32’s for POP3 filter
(known from the former NOD32 version) with enhanced email protection.
Almost no configuration is required, which is great for non-technical
users.
EMON (Email MONitor), a complementary resident
module, scans e-mails incoming via MAPI interface. MAPI interface
is used e.g. in the following e-mail clients: Microsoft Outlook
95, 97, 2000 (not Outlook Express) in Corporate mode and in MS Exchange.
MAPI interface is used also when receiving e-mails from the Microsoft
Exchange Mail Server via the Exchange protocol.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When the MAPI
Interface is not used on the computer EMON is not needed and therefore
will NOT be installed. The e-mails incoming via the POP3 protocol
will be checked by IMON.
NOD32 for Microsoft Windows (on-demand scanner)
Provides virus and spyware protection for Windows 95/ 98/ ME workstations
to Microsoft Windows NT/2000/2003/XP, or Windows Powered servers,
at the home or office.
Key Features of spyware antivirus protection
for Windows:
- Easy-to-use graphical user interface with an alternative,
command-line execution.
- Integrates into Windows Explorer’s context menu, allowing
quick selection of a scanning target using the right mouse button.
- Scans operating memory and check its own integrity.
- Cleans, removes and quarantines infected objects.
- Removes infiltrations from files that are locked for writing
(e.g., loaded DLL file).
- Removes viruses, worms and Trojans that are running.
- Scans Outlook and Outlook Express e-mail databases.
- Can be scheduled and executed using various users’ profiles.
- Contains a detailed, interactive on-line help.
System Requirements of spyware antivirus
protection for Windows:
- Operating System Microsoft Windows 95 or 98/ME
- CPU 386 or higher processor (Pentium recommended)
- 30 MB free hard risk space
- 32 MB RAM (64 MB RAM recommended)
- VGA or better graphic card
