Paid Anti-virus Programs
Introduction
In 1987, Peter Pasko and Miroslav Trnka discovered one of the world's first computer viruses, which they
named "Vienna." In that year, the two also released the first DOS version of NOD - the name they gave
their first virus detection tool. Five years later, they teamed with their friend Rudolf Hruby to form ESET
Software. After creating ESET, the three subsequently released the award-winning NOD and NOD32
series of anti-virus applications, which continue to be the foundation for ESET Smart Security.
Being one of the oldest anti-virus development companies, ESET has had a long time to perfect its NOD
32 virus and malware detection and removal technology. Based on that same NOD 32 technology, ESET
Smart Security 8 continues to be one of the most effective anti-virus suites available today.
