ESET: Beta Program for NOD32 for Microsoft Exchange Server and Unveils Online Scanner

Posted on 24 June 2007

NOD32 for Microsoft Exchange (”XMON”) v2.71 Public Beta 1 is now available. This updated version of XMON adds support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 as well as other new features and options. The beta test version is a precursor of the final product and is intended for experienced users and should not be installed on Exchange servers which perform critical tasks as it may cause errors or crashes.

ESET, the leader in proactive threat protection, today unveiled its new online scanning service. Powered by award-winning ESET NOD32 Antivirus software, ESET Online Scanner is a free Web-based service that enables computer users to perform a comprehensive system scan to check for and clean viruses, spyware, and other malware without uninstalling their existing antivirus solution. With Online Scanner, non-ESET users can get a “second opinion” on the health status of their computers and determine if their existing malware solution is really performing up to snuff.

All AV Solutions Are Not Created Equal
Computer users are often surprised to learn that their systems have been compromised despite diligently using antivirus software. With ESET Online Scanner, comparison shopping for anti-malware protection has never been easier and provides a second opinion regarding the health of a computer.

ESET Online Scanner Benefits

* Fast and Easy-Use: The scanner is installed and activated by a single button
* Always Up-to-Date: Uses the most current threat signatures and heuristic detection algorithms available from ESET Threat Lab
* Comprehensive Malware Detection: Detects both know and unknown forms of malware, including viruses, worms, Trojans, phishing, and spyware
* Deep Scans: Scans inside archive files, runtime packed executables and email messages
* Cleaning: Cleans systems that were infected while running another antivirus solution and allows end-users to troubleshoot and repair many malware-related problems
* Anonymity: The Online Scanner can be used anonymously as contact information is not required in exchange for use of the service.
