Intel distributes ESET security software

New Delhi: ESET announced that Intel will distribute ESET security software
products with Intel-branded desktop motherboards starting in Q1'2010. As
a result of the distribution agreement, Intel desktop boards will
include either a 45-day or one-year product license for ESET Smart
Security.

ESET will ship exclusively with new Intel Executive Series Boards and
will be the primary anti-virus solution on Intel's new Media Series
mother-boards shipping worldwide.
“We are pleased to offer ESET software as a security offering as we are
constantly striving to bring the highest value and quality to our system
integrators and end customers,” said Clem Russo, VP and GM-Client Boards
Division, Intel. “Our customers require a high level of protection that
won't simultaneously slow down their systems. With ESET's proactive
anti-virus technology, we are able to offer our users an additional
level of threat protection without compromising system performance.”

Through this agreement, users will benefit from ESET's small footprint,
fast scanning engine and unique detection method that provide effective
malware protection without compromising system performance. Powered by
ThreatSense technology ESET NOD32 anti-virus and ESET Smart Security
provide proactive detection of malware not covered by even the most
frequently updated signature-based products. Unlike traditional
approaches, ESET solutions decode and analyze executable code in
real-time, using an emulated environment.

“The distribution agreement between ESET and Intel underscores the
importance of utilizing complete proactive protection from the very
beginning,” said Larry McJannet, VP-Business Development, ESET, LLC. “By coupling Intel's premium motherboards with ESET's proven threat
protection users will experience optimum performance and protection,” he added.
