NOD32
for Microsoft Windows NT / 2000 / 2003 / XP
Provides protection for PCs at home or in the office running Microsoft
Windows NT / 2000 / 2003 / XP.
NOTE:
Standard versus Administrator version:
the Administrator version has additional functionalities. It is
meant to be used in the LAN / WAN environment as it supports creation
of copies of the update files so called "mirror". The
Administrator version requires a purchase of a Corporate / Multiuser
license.
NOD32 Control Center
The NOD32 Control Center is the central management module.
It provides access to the various features, tools and settings
and fully integrates all installed system components. These are
categorized into four different sections, each of which can be
expanded into an easy-to-use directory tree style system. For
increased security, the key settings can be password protected
to prevent unauthorized access and modification.
Key Features Include
Centralized
management of the resident antivirus modules and filters.
Intuitive directory tree style system for easy access to:
Automatic, internet/LAN Update module
Centralized system of log files for all installed modules
AMON - resident on-access monitor
NOD32 - on-demand scanner
IMON - Internet monitor - scans e-mails incoming via the POP3
protocol
EMON - complementary e-mail scanner module - scans e-mails incoming
via MAPI interface (details below)
Flexible task scheduler and planning module
Quarantine directory
Key system information
Automatic Update module
Supports
frequent incremental updates and upgrades of the executable components.
Most updates are performed ‘on-the-fly’ (no reboot
is required).
Small incremental update of the virus database minimizes network
congestion and download times.
Allows flexible scheduling of updates and selection of various
update profiles.
Checks for updates of the system at user-defined intervals or
even upon the occurrence of a predefined event.
Provides intelligent update options for computers on dial-up access.
Supports proxy-servers (Basic and NTLM authentication).
Provides authentication of the origin of downloaded update files
using a digital signature technique.
Supports updating from a local site without accessing the Internet,
such as from a server within a LAN.
The upgrade system can be configured to reflect a multi-level
hierarchy and/or other needs of a large company or organization.
Creates updates to a floppy or CD for PCs that are not connected
to the network.
Configuration settings can be distributed to local workstations
from an administrator’s computer.
Provides the option to use a configuration file to set system
parameters across the network during initial installation and/or
subsequent updates.
Supports ‘silent mode’ on end-user workstations: notification
messages may be forwarded to an administrator only.
Allows the settings to be password protected.
Centralized Log file system provides information on:
On-demand
scanner results
Relevant events (e.g. performed updates, executed tasks, etc.)
Infiltrations detected by resident modules and filters
NOD32 Scanning Modules
All the scanning modules of NOD32 system (on-access monitors,
filters, on-demand scanners, e-mail server solutions, gateway
filters, API and DLL modules, etc.) use the same sophisticated
scanning engine across all the supported platforms.
NOD32 Scanning Engine Key Features
The
highest detection and scanning rate performance.
Unprecedented heuristic analysis capable of exposing DOS, Boot,
Win32, macro, script and other viruses and worms in the wild.
Built in powerful virtual emulator enables detection of the most
sophisticated polymorphic and metamorphic viruses.
Virus detection in compressed or protected executable files, such
as Pklite, Lzexe, Diet, Exepack, CPAV, UPX, AsPack, FSG, Petite,
Neolite.
Support of many archive formats, e.g. ZIP, RAR, ARJ, LZH, LHA,
including self-extracting files.
Detection of viruses in encrypted, password protected databases
and documents.
Use of heuristic and algorithmic methods to clean viruses.
Cleaning of macro viruses and restoration of the documents to
original format.
Recovery of the most important system areas (functions) in the
event of an infection.
Storage of infected files in a safe format (not allowing execution)
into the quarantine.
Search speed is maximized through associative, multilevel cache
and low-level code optimizations.
Use of very fast single-point samples and CRCs for precise detection.
Use of very few system resources.
Disinfection/quarantining of the files automatically, on-the-fly.
Full support of UNICODE in Windows NT / 2000 / 2003 / XP.
AMON
AMON (Antivirus MONitor) is an on-access (memory-resident) scanner
for Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT / 2000 / 2003 / XP. Even though
it is at full alert, it works silently in the background and you
will probably not even notice its presence until it denies access
to an infected file and pops up a warning window.
Key Features
Utilizes
the advanced NOD32 scanning engine.
Prevents infected files from being opened, executed and warns
upon their creation.
Automatic execution on system startup.
Scans floppy boot sector upon access and during shutdown.
Sends notification of infections or errors over network or via
e-mail using the SMTP protocol.
Supports multiple Terminal Server environments.
Scans also mapped network disks.
IMON & EMON
IMON (Internet MONitor), is the second NOD32 resident scanner.
It runs on the Winsock level and scans internet traffic (e-mail)
incoming via the POP3 protocol. IMON replaces the NOD32’s
for POP3 filter (known from the former NOD32 version) with enhanced
email protection. Almost no configuration is required, which is
great for non-technical users.
EMON (Email MONitor), a complementary resident module, scans e-mails
incoming via MAPI interface. MAPI interface is used e.g. in the
following e-mail clients: Microsoft Outlook 95, 97, 2000 (not
Outlook Express) in the Corporate mode (MS Outlook 2002 - Office
XP doesn't have Corporate mode), MS Exchange. MAPI interface is
used also when receiving e-mails from the Microsoft Exchange Mail
Server via the Exchange protocol.
IMPORTANT
NOTE: When the MAPI Interface is not used on the computer EMON
is not needed and therefore will NOT be installed. The e-mails
incoming via the POP3 protocol will be checked by IMON.
NOD32 for Microsoft Windows (on-demand scanner)
Provides on-demand protection for computers at home or in the
office, from Microsoft Windows 95/ 98/ ME workstations to Microsoft
Windows NT/2000/2003/XP, Windows Powered servers.
Key Features
Easy-to-use
graphical user interface with an alternative, command-line execution.
Integrates into Windows Explorer’s context menu, allowing
quick selection of a scanning target using the right mouse button.
Scans operating memory and check its own integrity.
Cleans, removes and quarantines infected objects.
Removes infiltrations from files that are locked for writing (e.g.,
loaded DLL file).
Removes viruses, worms and Trojans that are running.
Scans Outlook and Outlook Express e-mail databases.
Can be scheduled and executed using various users’ profiles.
Contains a detailed, interactive on-line help.
