For Gamers:

Less Lag, More Frag™

You’ve spent time and money fine-tuning your gaming rig, so your PC should perform at its peak. Because peer-to-peer connections cause your system to become more vulnerable, cybercriminals specifically target gamers with malware like keylogging and Trojans.

Rather than turning off antivirus protection before logging on to squeeze extra performance from your machine, ESET now offers security solutions that do not compromise speed for protection.

"If you’ve been looking for antivirus protection for your gaming rig or a slower machine, ESET NOD32 should be your top choice." CPU Magazine
