ESET SysRescue

ESET SysRescue enables user to create a bootable CD/DVD/USB containing ESET NOD32 Antivirus, which is capable of running independent of the operating system. It is best used to get the system rid of hard-to-remove infiltrations.

ESET SysInspector

ESET SysInspector, an application that thoroughly inspects your computer, is now integrated directly in ESET NOD32 Antivirus. If you contact our Customer Care Service using the Help and support > Customer Care support request (recommended) option, you can opt to include an ESET SysInspector status snapshot from your computer.

Document protection

The Document protection serves to scan Microsoft Office documents before they are opened and files downloaded automatically by Internet Explorer, such as Microsoft ActiveX elements.

Self Defense

The new Self Defense technology protects ESET NOD32 Antivirus components against deactivation attempts.

User interface

The user interface is now capable of working in the non-graphical mode, which allows for keyboard control of ESET NOD32 Antivirus.
The increased compatibility with screen-reading applications supporting Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) lets sight-impaired people control the program more efficiently.
