ESET Unveils Beta 2 version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Mac and Linux

Users in the Middle East can download the beta2 version from ADAOX’s website

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, June 12, 2010: ADAOX Middle East, the regional business development center of ESET NOD32 Antivirus, today announced the availability of the beta 2 version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Mac and Linux based systems. With the release of its Beta2 version, ESET is moving forward with another step to the final release of ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Mac OS X and ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Linux desktop.

“The Beta1 version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Linux and Mac OS X platforms, which was released late last year, was well received by users in the Middle East region. Though machines running on Mac OSX or Linux platforms are not as vulnerable as those that run on Microsoft Windows platform, they may still work as carriers for computer threats, which may infect other Windows based workstations in the network. Hence it is important to secure the system and the beta 2 version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 offers even greater protection and efficiency in detecting known and unknown internet threats,” says Mr. Neo Neophytou, Managing Director, ADAOX Middle East.

Compared to Beta 1 version that was released in the end of 2009, this version features:
• Product performance optimization
• Significant improvement in stability
• Lower system footprint
• Context menu scanning
• Fullscreen mode ensures uninterrupted presentations or aplications by alert-windows
• Splash screen and About window
• Antivirus configuration improvements

Even though the Mac or Linux platform may not be targeted directly, it can act as a malware carrier and cause serious damage to Windows-based systems in the network. Therefore it is vitally important that every single endpoint user within a network uses an antivirus solution providing this multiplatform protection. ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Mac OS X and ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Linux desktop fulfils this task.
