Buy ESET – NOD32 & Internet Security as a Low-Cost Licence

For decades ESET has been one of the most award-winning antivirus manufacturers in the world – renowned for a unique combination of an excellent detection rate and exceptionally low use of system resources. The Slovak security specialist is particularly popular in business environments, where performance and reliability are needed at the same time. At Lizenzindustrie you get ESET Antivirus as a genuine licence key, delivered directly by email and considerably cheaper than in the manufacturer's shop.

Why ESET? – Its strengths at a glance

Over decades ESET has earned a special reputation based on three clearly defined strengths:

Minimal resource use with maximum protection: ESET is regarded as one of the antivirus manufacturers with the lowest performance impact on the market. In AV-Comparatives performance tests ESET is regularly among the most resource-efficient solutions – a decisive advantage for businesses with many workstations and for users who do not want to sacrifice system speed, even on older hardware. On systems where other antivirus programs cause noticeable slowdowns, ESET runs almost invisibly in the background.

Excellent detection rates: Despite its low resource use, ESET consistently achieves very high detection rates in independent tests by AV-TEST and AV-Comparatives. Its multi-layered protection architecture of heuristic analysis, behaviour-based detection and ESET LiveGrid cloud technology ensures reliable protection even against new, unknown threats.

Mature business solutions: ESET Endpoint Security is one of the most widely used business antivirus solutions in the world. The central ESET PROTECT management console enables all company devices – from Windows PCs and Macs to Android smartphones and servers – to be managed uniformly from a single interface.

What does ESET offer in detail?

ESET LiveGrid is ESET's cloud-based reputation technology. Suspicious files are checked against a huge database of known clean and malicious files – in real time, with no local scanning delay. Thanks to the global sensor network of all ESET users, new threats are identified within minutes and blocked for everyone.

Heuristic analysis detects new, previously unknown malware from characteristic code features – without relying on existing virus signatures. ESET is regarded as one of the pioneers of heuristic detection in the antivirus industry.

ESET Exploit Blocker protects against attacks on vulnerabilities in popular applications such as browsers, PDF readers and Office programs – particularly important for protection against zero-day exploits before patches are available.

Ransomware Shield monitors all processes that access files for behaviour typical of ransomware and stops encrypting attacks immediately – before important data is lost.

Network Attack Protection detects and blocks attacks at network level – exploits, brute-force attacks and other network-based attacks are fended off before they reach the operating system.

Anti-Phishing protects against fake websites that try to steal personal data, passwords or payment information – integrated directly into the browser.

Banking & Payment Protection opens online banking and payment pages in a specially secured browser mode that protects against keyloggers and browser-hijacking attacks.

Frequently asked questions about ESET

What is the difference between ESET NOD32, Internet Security and Smart Security Premium?

ESET NOD32 offers pure, highly efficient virus protection with no extras. ESET Internet Security adds a firewall, webcam protection, parental controls and Banking Protection. ESET Smart Security Premium adds a password manager and data encryption. For most home users, Internet Security is the most balanced choice.

Why is ESET so light on resources?

ESET uses a lean, efficient scanning engine that has been optimised for minimal resource use over decades. ESET LiveGrid enables cloud-based checks that take the load off local scanning processes. The result is a very low performance impact – ideal for older hardware and resource-sensitive systems.
