NOD32 Antivirus 5.0.65 bèta
Er is een nieuwere versie beschikbaar van deze download.
ESET heeft dan toch eindelijk de bèta vrijgegeven van NOD32 5.0. De op de CeBIT aangekondigde versie zou eigenlijk eerder beschikbaar moeten komen, maar werd uitgesteld vanwege onduidelijke problemen. Nieuw in versie 5 die om precies te zijn op 5 mei 2011 is uitgebracht, is HIPS, het gebruik van de cloud waardoor bestanden gewhitelist kunnen worden, een IMAP- en IMAPS-scanner en de toevoeging van een gaming mode. Het is mogelijk om de bètaversie over een bestaande installatie van NOD32 te installeren. NOD32 is een erg populaire virusscanner, omdat het relatief veel onbekende virussen kan vinden. Overigens is alleen de Windows-versie van de virusscanner bijgewerkt. De OS X- en Linux-versie van NOD32 blijven op versie 4.2 zitten.
Changelog:
HIPS (Host Intrusion Prevention System)A system analyzing the behavior of running applications and protecting crucial system areas from being altered by malware or other users. Self-defense is now part of HIPS.
Cloud-Powered Reputation
The Cloud-Powered Reputation system collects information about files from all users participating in the cloud system and uses them to assess the risk level of processes running on the computer. This information is also used to whitelist files for faster scanning.
Product update check
The product can check for a newer version on the web and provides a quick link for upgrade.
Gaming mode
Mode intended for gamers in which no pop-up windows appear, scheduled tasks as well as updates are deferred. Gaming mode can be activated automatically if an application running in full-screen mode is detected.
Device Control by Device ID
Removable media can now be blocked based on several criteria, such as device type, size, serial number, vendor, etc.
Startup Scan Delay
Scheduled startup scans are now delayed until the CPU consumption calms down after a system start so that more CPU resources are now available to other applications.
Auto-Scan of Removable Media
Inserting a removable media now pops up a prompt window with an option to scan the media.
Shutdown After Scan
For scheduled or manually triggered scans it is now possible to enable shutdown after scan.
Summary Statistics after scan
When a scan completes, a pop-up window notifies the user about the scan result.
IMAP/IMAPS scanner
A transparent IMAP/IMAPS scanner allows for scanning IMAP/IMAPS communication regardless of the email client used.
Activation of Product
A new way of product activation has been implemented to streamline the process of activation without the need to enter a username and password.

Improved Tools View
The “Tools” pane was made “dashboard-like” for more intuitive and transparent work. GUI has been reworked and offers easy access to frequently used actions.
