This is the case of ESET NOD32 Antivirus, an anti-virus tool that you may find simpler than other similar applications, but this simplicity is precisely the key to its success. In fact, NOD32 is one of the most popular anti-virus apps among computer users.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus is easy to install and launches without even restarting the system (something most anti-virus tools require after installation). The program has a simple, straightforward design, though you'll soon discover that this is actually the Standard mode display and that you can choose the Advanced mode if you prefer to have more options and tools at your fingertips.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus includes basic anti-virus tools such as system analysis, antispyware filters, filters to exclude certain applications, a scheduling tool for automatic analysis and seamless integration within Windows Explorer. Being used to more complex anti-virus solutions though, I missed having an email and web browsing filter. Also, I found the Settings menu a bit too hidden and difficult to use. Apart from these small flaws, ESET NOD32 Antivirus is definitely worth a try, especially if you want to have a simple, hassle-free anti-virus that takes care of your system and doesn't bother you all the time.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus may be simpler than other anti-virus tools, but it's perfect for users who prefer an easy, unobtrusive app even if that means giving up on certain advanced functions.

Unlike many antivirus solutions, Kaspersky Free Cleaner is not a complete antivirus protector, but has a very specific remit of viruses that it can disinfect. The virus list that it eliminates is very limited, and numbers just ten at the moment. These bugs are pretty nasty though, and the fact that it is free means you don't have to pay to steer clear of them.

The application looks in the memory, the registry, the hard disk (also in network units), the services and IRC spcripts for these viruses. The analysis does not take a long time, appearing within an MSDOS window and, if you have the misfortune of having any of the viruses in the list on your system, it will end them completely and without hassle.
