ESET Smart Security Wins CNET Editors` Choice Award

SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
ESET, the leader in proactive threat protection, today announced that it
received a CNET Editors` Choice award for ESET Smart Security 4, the recently
updated integrated security solution combining antivirus, anti-spyware and
anti-spam functionality with a personal firewall. The coveted CNET Editors`
Choice award recognizes outstanding consumer electronics that represent the best
available choice for quality, performance, design, service, value, and its logo
is a mark of excellence denoting the best possible investment for consumers.

CNET Editors` Choice winners are recognized as top products in their respective
technology categories, and contribute to the standard by which all future
products are judged. A key selection requirement is that it must also change the
competitive landscape of its market, whether through innovative features,
exceptional value for the price, remarkable ease of use, or a demonstrable boost
to the lives of its users.

"ESET Smart Security is surprisingly light, consuming around 50MB of RAM when
running, and ESET NOD32 has consistently scored near the top of several
independent antivirus testing organization ratings for finding the most malware
while encountering fewer false positives than most," said Seth Rosenblatt,
senior associate editor, CNET Downloads. "For getting all your security tools in
one box, Smart Security is an effective and well-respected choice."

"We are very excited about this honor from CNET as their Editors` Choice award
has become the hallmark of technology quality and innovation, and its logo is a
symbol consumers know and trust," said Anton Zajac, CEO, ESET LLC. "This is an
exceptional achievement and we are very proud to be recognized for our
dedication and commitment to providing users with the most advanced protection
from evolving security threats."

Built on the same engine that powers ESET NOD32 Antivirus, ESET Smart Security 4
also features anti-spam and firewall functionality, both of which received high
marks in usability and effectiveness. ESET`s detection and diagnostic features
safeguard users from deceptive forms of malware by digging deeper into the
operating system, files and encrypted browser traffic to identify and eliminate
hidden malware threats. ESET Smart Security 4 proactively blocks most new
malware attacks before they can compromise systems or steal data.
