Most Linux users may claim that they can never fall prey to viruses, Trojans, worms, spyware, phishing and other Internet attacks; however, the reality is different. Linux is no harder to break into than a Microsoft Windows operating system. Even though the Linux platform may not be targeted directly, it can act as a malware carrier and cause serious damage to Windows-based systems in the network. Therefore it is vitally important that every single endpoint user within a network uses an antivirus solution providing this multiplatform protection. ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Linux fulfils this task.

ESET’s solution for the Linux desktop employs the award winning ThreatSense® scanning engine. Utilizing advanced heuristic techniques, ThreatSense® provides industry-leading protection against yet unknown threats. Additionally, the sophisticated generic detection method resembling that of DNA profiling is applied to intercept mutations of already existing infiltrations across all platforms

ESET’s customers are thus protected from the very moment the infiltration starts to spread across the globe, without having to wait for the next signature database update.
