- 它会阻止您加载包含恶意内容的网站
- 不会降低您的 Windows 计算机的速度
- 它看起来不错并且易于使用
- 借助许多可用的高级设置，您可以控制其工作方式的各个方面
尽管ESET NOD32 Antivirus(ESET NOD32 Antivirus)在保护您免受恶意软件侵害方面表现出色，但它并不是一个成熟的安全解决方案。因此，它不包括防火墙模块或家长控制等附加功能。如果您想要或需要此类工具，则应改为尝试ESET Internet Security或ESET Smart Security Premium。
判决
在使用和测试ESET NOD32 Antivirus时，我们非常欣赏它的效率。即使面对大量恶意软件和几乎损坏的Windows 11计算机，它也设法清理和/或删除每个受感染的文件。ESET NOD32 Antivirus达到了保护Windows计算机的目的，没有任何问题。从我们的角度来看，它是目前最好的防病毒引擎之一。因此，如果您正在寻找一款出色的防病毒软件来在 2022 年保护您的Windows PC(PCs)，那么您绝对应该检查一下。
下载和安装ESET NOD32 Antivirus
您可以从 ESET 的下载网页获取(from ESET’s download webpage)ESET NOD32 Antivirus。您将下载的文件是一个名为eset_nod32_antivirus_live_installer.exe的 8MB 可执行文件。运行它以启动安装向导，它将下载安装所需的另外 67.7MB 数据。
该向导会下载安装ESET NOD32 Antivirus所需的文件(ESET NOD32 Antivirus)
安装向导将引导您完成所有必需的步骤。首先(First)，您需要选择您喜欢的语言。然后，一旦您同意使用条款，您可以跳过登录(Skip login)以安装试用版，或者您可以连接到您的ESET HOME帐户以激活您的许可证或输入您在网上或商店购买的许可证密钥. 如果您选择只测试防病毒软件，您需要提供的唯一个人信息是有效的电子邮件地址和您的居住国家/地区。
选择如何激活ESET NOD32 Antivirus
设置向导会询问您是否要参与ESET LiveGrid并启用对可能不需要的应用程序的检测。我们的意见是您应该启用这两个选项。LiveGrid 允许ESET收集有关可疑项目的数据并更快地应对新威胁。也许它们不是真正的病毒，但可能不需要的应用程序可能与常规恶意软件一样有害。
启用ESET LiveGrid并检测潜在有害程序
防病毒软件安装完成后，ESET将启动恶意软件定义的自动更新过程。在我们的测试笔记本电脑上，这意味着要下载另外 137MB 的数据。
ESET NOD32 Antivirus更新其恶意软件数据库
此外，ESET NOD32 Antivirus还会触发完整的系统扫描，这可能需要相当长的时间。然而，这仅适用于第一次扫描。随后的扫描将花费更少的时间。
(Initial)由ESET NOD32 Antivirus运行的(ESET NOD32 Antivirus)初始防病毒系统扫描
下载和安装 ESET NOD32 Antivirus 既简单又快捷。虽然初始系统扫描需要很长时间才能完成，但积极的是它加快了下一次防病毒扫描。(Downloading and installing ESET NOD32 Antivirus is easy and fast. Although the initial system scan takes a long time to finish, the positive is that it speeds up the next antivirus scans.)
与Microsoft Store中的(Microsoft Store)Windows、Web 浏览器和应用程序集成
在安装过程中，ESET NOD32 Antivirus取代了Microsoft Defender Antivirus，从而消除了潜在的冲突和性能问题。此外，它还过滤互联网流量，保护您的网络浏览器免受包含恶意内容的网站的侵害。至于对你电脑性能的影响，貌似没什么意义。ESET NOD32 Antivirus不需要超过 100MB 的RAM即可运行，即使它在我们的测试笔记本电脑上运行完整的系统扫描也是如此。
Windows 安全(Windows Security)显示ESET NOD32 Antivirus正在处理病毒(Virus)和威胁(Threat)防护
我们还检查了ESET NOD32 Antivirus是否会延迟我们测试笔记本电脑上Windows 11的启动。(Windows 11)它没有：安装和不安装 ESET 防病毒软件的启动时间相同。
同样，为了检查ESET NOD32 Antivirus(ESET NOD32 Antivirus)是否降低了 Internet 或网络传输速度，我们使用了 Speedtest.net(Speedtest.net)和LAN Speed Test。安装防病毒软件前后的速度大致相同。
该防病毒软件与 Windows 11 完美集成。它对我们计算机性能的影响很小。(This antivirus is well integrated with Windows 11. Its effect on our computer’s performance was minimal.)
易于使用和配置
ESET NOD32 Antivirus 的(ESET NOD32 Antivirus's)用户界面依赖于与该公司其他产品相同的设计：ESET Internet Security和ESET Smart Security Premium。它易于使用，而且看起来不错。它具有广泛的部分、大按钮和大量开关，使其在带有触摸屏的设备上非常实用。主要工具和选项分为几个主要部分，您可以在窗口左侧访问它们，而当前部分的内容显示在右侧。在主页上，您可以查看Windows设备当前的安全状态。如果它是绿色的，一切都很好，但如果它是红色的，那么你需要处理一些紧急的问题。
ESET NOD32 Antivirus用户界面主页
您可以通过访问每个工具和选项来单独配置ESET NOD32 Antivirus中的工具和选项，一次一个。但是，为了快速轻松地访问所有高级设置和选项，您需要通过按设置(Setup)页面右下角的同名按钮进入高级设置。(Advanced setup )
ESET NOD32 Antivirus的高级(Advanced)设置设置
ESET NOD32 Antivirus在上下文中很好地解释了大多数可用的操作和设置。但是，如果您需要更多帮助或支持怎么办？在这种情况下，您可以打开“帮助和支持”(Help and support")部分，您可以在其中访问文档并联系客户服务。
ESET NOD32 Antivirus提供的帮助(Help)和支持选项
ESET NOD32 Antivirus还会创建有关您计算机的统计信息和报告。它们易于理解且详细：您可以获得文本日志和可视化统计信息。
(Security)ESET NOD32 Antivirus的(ESET NOD32 Antivirus)安全报告
当您的计算机上发生重大事件或您必须做出有关安全性的决定时，ESET NOD32 Antivirus会在您的桌面上显示通知。
ESET NOD32 Antivirus 提供的用户界面看起来不错且易于使用。它是为非技术用户和高级用户设计的。(The user interface offered by ESET NOD32 Antivirus looks good and is easy to use. It's designed for both non-technical users and power users.)
防病毒(Antivirus)和反间谍软件保护
为了评估ESET NOD32 Antivirus(ESET NOD32 Antivirus's)在保护您免受在线威胁的同时的有效性，我们使用了所有主要的 Web 浏览器（Google Chrome、Mozilla Firefox、Microsoft Edge和Opera）来尝试加载一些网络钓鱼网站。ESET NOD32 Antivirus在所有测试的 Web 浏览器中阻止了所有这些。这是一个很好的结果。
ESET NOD32 Antivirus阻止网络钓鱼网站
然后，我们检查了ESET NOD32 Antivirus在处理受感染的外部驱动器（如记忆棒或便携式固态驱动器）时的反应。它询问我们是否要扫描我们使用的SSD，所以我们选择扫描它。片刻之后，防病毒软件识别并清除了所有在其上发现的受恶意软件感染的文件，这是一个很好的结果。
ESET NOD32 Antivirus从便携式 SSD 中删除病毒
对于我们的最后一次测试，我们在笔记本电脑上安装了Windows 11，然后我们感染了各种品牌和型号的一系列病毒。然后，我们安装了ESET NOD32 Antivirus。它立即检测到一些受感染的文件和进程。在对系统进行初始扫描后，笔记本电脑完全没有恶意软件。这是一个很好的结果，证实了防病毒引擎的质量。
ESET NOD32 Antivirus检测和删除恶意软件感染
评估防病毒引擎性能的另一个关键因素是扫描速度。我们测量了ESET NOD32 Antivirus扫描包含大约 75GB 文件的 476GB SSD的速度。(SSD)平均扫描时间约为两分三十秒，速度很快。最后但同样重要的是，我们还查看了其他独立安全组织对 ESET 的评价：
- AV-Test于(AV-Test)2021 年 10 月(October 2021)在Windows 10 (Windows 10)Pro上测试了ESET Internet Security 14.2 （我们在 Windows 11 (ESET Internet Security 14.2)Pro上测试了 15.0版），并在所有方面给出了 6.0 分的最高评分：保护、性能和可用性。
- AV-Comparatives还评估了ESET Internet Security。2021 年，ESET 获得了误报金奖(False Positives)、(Gold Award )高级威胁(Advanced Threat Protection)防护银奖(Silver Award )和性能(Performance)铜奖(Bronze Award )。
ESET NOD32 Antivirus 是世界上最好的反恶意软件解决方案之一。它提供针对各种恶意软件威胁的高级保护。(ESET NOD32 Antivirus is one of the best antimalware solutions in the world. It offers premium protection against all kinds of malware threats.)
(Default)您可能需要调整的默认设置
默认情况下， ESET NOD32 Antivirus(ESET NOD32 Antivirus )配置良好，但仍有一些您可能需要改进的地方：
- 调整 ESET实时和机器学习保护的(Real-Time & Machine Learning Protection)工作方式。默认情况下，ESET对恶意软件威胁、潜在有害、可疑和不安全应用程序的报告(Reporting)和防护使用(Protection)平衡(Balanced)级别。如果您需要更加警觉的防病毒软件，您可以使ESET NOD32 Antivirus的行为更加激进(Aggressively)。但是，如果您在安全的环境中工作并且想要不那么严格的防病毒软件，您可能需要将其设置为Cautious。Setup -> Advanced setup -> Detection Engine -> Real-Time & Machine Learning Protection."中调整这些设置。
- 在系统空闲时启用扫描。您可以在“Setup -> Advanced setup -> Detection Engine -> Malware scans -> Idle-state scan -> Enable Idle-state scanning."
- 启用或禁用某些发出的通知或警报声音。例如，也许您希望它更冗长，或者您希望它更安静。“Setup -> Advanced setup -> User interface.”中更改其行为。
- 尽管 ESET 建议我们定期运行防病毒扫描(Although ESET recommends that we run antivirus scans regularly)，但ESET NOD32 Antivirus默认未设置为运行任何防病毒扫描。为了获得更高级别的安全性，您可能需要安排这样的扫描。您可以在“Tools -> Scheduler."
ESET NOD32 Antivirus：实时和机器学习保护(Machine Learning Protection)
ESET NOD32 Antivirus 具有示例性的默认配置，因此我们建议更改的内容不多。但是，您仍然可以改进一些设置。(ESET NOD32 Antivirus has an exemplary default configuration, so there aren't many things we recommend changing. However, there are a few settings that you can improve nonetheless.)

If you’re using a Windоws computer or laptоp, you’re alreаdy getting some security from the built-in Microsoft Defender, but there are better choices out there.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus: Who is it good for?
ESET NOD32 Antivirus is an excellent choice for those who want:
- An antivirus engine that’s effective against all kinds of threats, both online and offline
- Security software that’s easy to use while also offering access to detailed controls
- A great antivirus for a reasonable price
Pros and cons
There are many good things to say about ESET NOD32 Antivirus:
See price on:
Buy now
- The antivirus module does an excellent job at protecting you from malware
- It stops you from loading websites with malicious content
- Doesn’t slow down your Windows computer
- It looks good and is easy to use
- You can control every little aspect of how it works thanks to the many advanced settings available
Although it’s excellent at its job of protecting you from malware, ESET NOD32 Antivirus is not a full-fledged security solution. So, it doesn’t include additional features such as a firewall module or parental controls. If you want or need such tools, you should instead try ESET Internet Security or ESET Smart Security Premium.
Verdict
While using and testing the ESET NOD32 Antivirus, we’ve come to appreciate its efficiency a lot. Even when faced with tons of malware and a nearly broken Windows 11 computer, it managed to clean and/or delete every infected file. ESET NOD32 Antivirus achieves its purpose of protecting Windows computers without any kind of issues. From our point of view, it’s one of the best antivirus engines out there. So, if you’re looking for an excellent antivirus to protect your Windows PCs in 2022, you should definitely check it out.
Downloading and installing ESET NOD32 Antivirus
You can get ESET NOD32 Antivirus from ESET’s download webpage. The file you’ll download is an 8MB executable file called eset_nod32_antivirus_live_installer.exe. Run it to start the setup wizard, and it will download another 67.7MB of data required for the installation.
The wizard downloads the files necessary to install ESET NOD32 Antivirus
The installation wizard will walk you through all the required steps. First, you need to choose the language you prefer. Then, once you agree with the terms of use, you can either Skip login to install a trial version, or you can either connect to your ESET HOME account to activate your license or enter a license key you’ve bought online or in a store. If you choose to just test the antivirus, the only personal information you need to provide is a valid email address and your country of residence.
Choosing how to activate ESET NOD32 Antivirus
The setup wizard asks you whether you’d like to participate in ESET LiveGrid and enable the detection of potentially unwanted applications. Our opinion is that you should enable both options. LiveGrid allows ESET to collect data about suspicious items and answer faster to new threats. Maybe they’re not real viruses, but potentially unwanted apps can be as harmful as regular malware.
Enabling ESET LiveGrid and the detection of potentially unwanted programs
When the antivirus is done installing, ESET starts an automatic update process of malware definitions. On our test laptop, that meant downloading another 137MB of data.

Furthermore, ESET NOD32 Antivirus also triggers a full system scan, which can take quite a long time. This, however, is true only for the first scan. Subsequent scans will take a lot less time.
Initial antivirus system scan run by ESET NOD32 Antivirus
Downloading and installing ESET NOD32 Antivirus is easy and fast. Although the initial system scan takes a long time to finish, the positive is that it speeds up the next antivirus scans.
Integration with Windows, web browsers, and apps from the Microsoft Store
During its installation, ESET NOD32 Antivirus replaces Microsoft Defender Antivirus, thus eliminating potential conflicts and performance issues. Additionally, it also filters the internet traffic, securing your web browsers against websites that contain malicious content. As for the impact on your computer’s performance, it looks like it’s not meaningful. ESET NOD32 Antivirus didn’t need more than 100MB of RAM to run, even when it was running a full system scan on our test laptop.
Windows Security shows that ESET NOD32 Antivirus is handling the Virus & Threat protection
We also checked whether ESET NOD32 Antivirus delays the startup of Windows 11 on our test laptop. It didn’t: the boot times were the same with and without ESET’s antivirus installed.
Similarly, to check if the internet or network transfer speeds are slowed down by ESET NOD32 Antivirus, we used Speedtest.net and LAN Speed Test. The speeds were roughly the same before and after installing the antivirus.
This antivirus is well integrated with Windows 11. Its effect on our computer’s performance was minimal.
Ease of use and configuration
ESET NOD32 Antivirus's user interface relies on the same design as other products from the company: ESET Internet Security and ESET Smart Security Premium. It’s easy to use, and it looks good. It has extensive sections, big buttons, and plenty of switches, making it practical on devices with touchscreens. The main tools and options are split into several main sections, which you access on the left side of the window, while the current section's content is shown on the right. On the homepage, you can see the current security status on your Windows device. If it's colored green, everything is OK, but if it's red, then there are urgent issues that you need to take care of.
The homepage of the user interface of ESET NOD32 Antivirus
You can configure the tools and options in ESET NOD32 Antivirus individually by accessing each of them, one at a time. However, for quick and easy access to all the advanced settings and options, you need to go into Advanced setup by pressing the button with the same name in the lower-right corner of the Setup page.
The Advanced setup settings from ESET NOD32 Antivirus
ESET NOD32 Antivirus explains well, in context, most of the actions and settings available. However, what if you need more help or support? In that case, you can open the "Help and support" section, where you can access documentation and contact customer service.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus also creates statistics and reports about your computer. They are easy to understand and detailed: you get text logs and visual statistics.

When something significant occurs on your computer or when you have to make a decision regarding your security, ESET NOD32 Antivirus displays notifications on your desktop.
The user interface offered by ESET NOD32 Antivirus looks good and is easy to use. It's designed for both non-technical users and power users.
Antivirus and antispyware protection
To evaluate ESET NOD32 Antivirus's effectiveness while protecting you from online threats, we used all the major web browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Opera) to try to load a few phishing websites. ESET NOD32 Antivirus blocked all of them in all the tested web browsers. It is an excellent result.

We then checked ESET NOD32 Antivirus's reaction when dealing with an infected external drive like a memory stick or portable solid-state drive. It asked whether we wanted to scan the SSD we used, so we chose to scan it. After a few moments, the antivirus identified and cleaned all the malware-infected files found on it, which is an excellent result.
ESET NOD32 Antivirus removing a virus from a portable SSD
For our last test, we installed Windows 11 on our laptop, which we then infected with a bunch of viruses, of all makes and models. Then, we installed ESET NOD32 Antivirus. It immediately detected some of the infected files and processes. After the initial scan of the system, the laptop was completely clean of malware. It is an excellent result that confirms the quality of the antivirus engine.
ESET NOD32 Antivirus detecting and removing malware infections
Another critical factor in assessing the performance of an antivirus engine is the scanning speed. We measured the speed with which ESET NOD32 Antivirus scanned our 476GB SSD with approximately 75GB of files on it. The average scan time was about two minutes and thirty seconds, which is fast. Last but not least, we also looked at what other independent security organizations had to say about ESET:
- AV-Test tested ESET Internet Security 14.2 on Windows 10 Pro in October 2021 (we tested version 15.0 on Windows 11 Pro) and gave it their top verdict of 6.0 points out of 6 on all areas: protection, performance, and usability.
- AV-Comparatives also evaluated ESET Internet Security. In 2021, ESET received the Gold Award for False Positives, the Silver Award for Advanced Threat Protection, and the Bronze Award for Performance.
ESET NOD32 Antivirus is one of the best antimalware solutions in the world. It offers premium protection against all kinds of malware threats.
Default settings you may want to adjust
ESET NOD32 Antivirus is well configured by default, but there are still a few things you may want to improve:
- Tune how ESET Real-Time & Machine Learning Protection works. By default, ESET uses Balanced levels for both Reporting and Protection against malware threats, potentially unwanted, suspicious, and unsafe applications. If you need an even more alert antivirus, you can make ESET NOD32 Antivirus behave more Aggressively. However, if you work in a safe environment and want a less strict antivirus, you might want to set it to Cautious. You can adjust these settings in "Setup -> Advanced setup -> Detection Engine -> Real-Time & Machine Learning Protection."
- Enable scanning when the system is idle. You can enable this option in "Setup -> Advanced setup -> Detection Engine -> Malware scans -> Idle-state scan -> Enable Idle-state scanning."
- Enable or disable some of the notifications or alert sounds issued. For example, maybe you want it to be more verbose, or you prefer it to be more silent. Either way, you can change its behavior in “Setup -> Advanced setup -> User interface.”
- Although ESET recommends that we run antivirus scans regularly, ESET NOD32 Antivirus is not set to run any antivirus scans by default. For a higher level of security, you might want to schedule such a scan. You can do it in "Tools -> Scheduler."
ESET NOD32 Antivirus: Real-Time & Machine Learning Protection
ESET NOD32 Antivirus has an exemplary default configuration, so there aren't many things we recommend changing. However, there are a few settings that you can improve nonetheless.
