NOD32 leads all other antivirus programs - 15 Virus Bulletin 100% Awards

The September 2001 Virus Bulletin test results have confirmed NOD32's place at the top of the 100% Award winners list. Analysts noted not only NOD32's detection performance but also the program's overwhelming speed of execution. Based on the results (Virus Bulletin, September 2001) NOD32 had an Executable File Throughput rate in excess of 5 million B/s, the next best was measured at 2 million B/s and most of the other 11 competing programs staggered along at less than 800,000 B/s. As an example, NAI McAfee NetShield tested at approximately 7 times slower while missing 9 viruses and failing to win a 100% award. Since its first participation in the prestigious Virus Bulletin tests (May 1998), NOD32 did not miss a single "In the Wild" virus. This unique and unprecedented result earned NOD32 15 Virus Bulletin 100% Awards, more than any other antivirus product. We always believed NOD32 to be the best. Now it is official.
