Technology, not brand names, stops malware!

Industry tests and data to show the differences in detection, size and speed of NOD32's top competitors. Compare the data against Symantec, McAfee and Trend. Find out why NOD32 is the safest, fastest and smallest solution.

Best Detection of Known and Evolving Threats

  • Approximately 88% of threats are proactively detected using ThreatSense heuristics. For example, all variants of MyDoom, Netsky, Bagle and Mytob were detected heuristically - before most other vendors even had a signature.
    Compare to Symantec, McAfee, Trend, and Kaspersky.


    AV-Comparatives.org validated in two separate tests in 2005 that NOD32 offers the best all-around proactive protection against zero-day threats. NOD32 detected 90% of new In-the-Wild viruses in May and 62% of all new malware samples tested in November on proactive benchmarking, beating the 'leading' vendors by 95% on average.
