Eset NOD32 - Best Detection of Known and Evolving Threats

Approximately 88% of threats are proactively detected using ThreatSense heuristics. For example, all variants of MyDoom, Netsky, Bagle and Mytob were detected heuristically - before most other vendors even had a signature.

Eset’s NOD32 is the first known anti-virus product to detect all known types of VML exploit. This detection and blocking prevents attackers from gaining control of the users PC and then running other malicious software.

av-comparatives.org - Validated in two separate tests in 2005 that NOD32 offers the best all-around proactive protection against zero-day threats. NOD32 detected 90% of new In-the-Wild viruses in May and 62% of all new malware samples tested in November on proactive benchmarking, beating the 'leading' vendors by 95% on average.
