ESET AU offers free 'upgrades' from other AVs

Long Zheng: Often just because youre using a product that is in direct competition to a companys offerings, youll be treated like second-class citizens who dont know whats good for them. Security software companies arent known for their kindness or generosity to each other, so what ESET Australia announced today deserves to be recognized.



Currently limited only to Australians, owners of anti-virus suites from other vendors (ex. Norton, McAfee) will be offered a free ścross-gradeť license of the upcoming ESET Smart Security software equal to the remainder of their current license term (with maximum of 1 year). Existing owners of NOD32 will also be able to acquire a free upgrade.

NOD32 2.70.23

ESET NOD32 Antivirus offers superior, comprehensive protection, the fastest scanning throughput, and the least performance impact of any solution. Keep your important information safe & stay productive with peace of mind. Running separate applications for viruses, hackers, adware, and spyware can slow your PC, be difficult to manage, and provide questionable protection. Beware of large, bloated internet security suites that consume hundreds of megabytes on your PC. These typically exist because vendors have acquired products and 'bundled' them together. In contrast, ESET NOD32 was designed from the core as a single, highly-optimized engine that works as a unified Anti-Threat system to protect against a broad spectrum of malware. Viruses, worms, spyware, and other malicious attacks, which are constantly evolving. ESET NOD32 utilizes patent-pending ThreatSense® Technology to detect tomorrow's threats in real-time, by analyzing code execution for malicious intent - keeping you ahead of the malware-writers.

AV Vendor Adopts 'Herd' Intelligence

The flood of new malware samples anti-malware firms are sorting in their labs is so overwhelming that AV vendor Panda Security compares it to a denial-of-service attack: "It's a denial of service on AV labs trying to keep up with it," says Gary Leibowitz, general manager of Panda Security USA, which receives 3,000 to 4,000 samples of new malware daily. So his company on Monday will release a new version of its AV software that moves that analysis from the lab to the "cloud" to help it get a better handle on emerging threats such as those targeting Web 2.0 applications, Dark Reading has learned.



Panda's new version of its Panda Security for Business will include this "community cloud" feature, where the anti-malware process, computation, analysis, and signature comparisons are done by Panda's SaaS, drawing from threat information and trends with its users as well as the wider Internet community. It also comes with host intrusion prevention and auditing features.



A handful of other AV vendors have made similar moves, including ESET, Sana Security, and Prevx. Symantec's Norton Anti-Bot is based on its licensing of Sana's product, notes Andrew Jaquith, program manager for security research at The Yankee Group.
