My Review 

This list does not include ESET NOD32 Antivirus. Either the names above paid for this review, or no professional users were asked in their opinion. ESET NOD32 Antivirus is an EXCELLENT piece of software: it's lightweight and doesn't bog down your computer's performance. It loads quickly, and updates itself regularly. The installer file is EXTREMELY small (smaller than anything I've seen for other virus softwares) - which indicates to me that the software has nothing but power behind the hood... no flashy graphics, no unecessary code... and that is exactly what it delivers. I've noticed that programs like Norton and Kaspersky greatly slower system performance, and drag the startup time of the computer to minutes. The software is also reasonably priced... any car owner knows that you need regular maintenance in order to maintain your investment, the same goes for a computer. You are going to need to pay for the monthly user fees of ESET in order to keep your computer running optimally.

Would you recommend this to a friend?
