“The Windows 7 logo further underscores the universal appeal of ESET software,” said Richard Marko, chief technology officer. “ESET products are well known for their superb detection, light footprint and ability to play nice with other programs.”

Powered by ThreatSense® technology, ESET's products combine speed, accuracy and minimal system impact. The advanced heuristics engine enables proactive detection of malware not covered by even the most frequently updated signature-based products.

By allowing malware to execute in a secure virtual machine, ESET is able to clearly differentiate between benign files and even the most sophisticated and cleverly-disguised malware.
