NOD32的最初原型诞生于捷克斯洛伐克最早的电脑病毒出现之后不久。在那时有部极流行的电视连续剧正在捷克斯洛伐克热播，这部电视连续剧不久就被翻译成多种语言并被许多国家所熟悉。它的名字是 “Nemocnica na Okraji Mesta”，翻译成英语就是 "Hospital at theEdge of the City"。当时出现的第一个病毒攻击磁盘引导扇区，而引导扇区位于磁盘的边缘。“nemocnica”在捷克和斯洛伐克语中的意思是 “医院”，而一个反病毒程序在某种意义可以被理解为医院。因此，我们决定将新开发的防病毒程序命名为“Nemocnica na Okraji Disku”，在英语中的叫法是 “Hospital at the Edge of the Disk”。
我们最初把我们的程序叫做 "enn oh dee" （指发音），这个名字逐渐传遍整个东欧 IT界。但是在世界推广了几年后，这个程序现在被普遍叫做了 “nod”。事实上，一些使用英语的评论家也已经认可了 “NOD” 这个叫法,甚至我们的一个澳大利亚合伙人被起了个绰号叫做 "Noddy Roddy"。
今天的NOD32 当然完全不同于最初的NOD。这个程序已经开发了几代产品，以对付不断变化并日益复杂的计算机病毒，后来一直发展到 16 位程序时代最强大的 NOD-ICE。当 32位处理器出现后，彻底重新开发的适合新平台的软件 —— “Nemocnica na Okraji Disku 32”（或者叫作“NOD32”）诞生了。
NOD32的核心程序开发团队自始至终与我们在一起，我们确信他们是当今世界上最有才能、最熟练的病毒研究员和和反病毒程序员团队。自从 1988 年 5 月NOD32 反病毒系统诞生以来，他们始终保证产品拥有最好的质量。从那天开始，NOD32 在Virus Bulletin的测试中就从来没有遗漏过一种 ITW（in the wild） 病毒。感谢他们的努力，在 Virus Bulletin反病毒专家的独立评估中，NOD32 一贯保持极高的检测效率，拥有最快的磁盘扫描速度，在过去七年里一直领先于世界上其它反病毒软件。

ESET NOD32's "ancestors" were born around the time the first computer viruses appeared. At that time an extremely popular TV series was being broadcast on Czechoslovak Television ...a series which was later translated into many other languages andbecame known in many other countries. The name of this TV series was"Nemocnica na Okraji Mesta" ... in English, "Hospital at the Edge of the City".The first viruses attacked disk boot sectors, which are located at theedge of a disk. An antivirus program could in a sense be considered ahospital ... "nemocnica" in the Slovak and Czech languages. We decidedto name the newly created antivirus program “Nemocnica na Okraji Disku” ... which in English would read “Hospital at the Edge of the Disk”.
Weoriginally called our program "enn oh dee" ... the name by which itbecame well known and respected in Eastern European IT circles ... butthanks to worldwide expansion over the past couple of years the programis now almost universally referred to as "nod" ... in fact, someEnglish language reviewers have "given the nod to NOD", and one of thenicknames given to our Australian partner by the VX (virus underground)is "Noddy Roddy".
Today's ESET NOD32 is, of course, entirelydifferent from the original NOD. Several generations of the programwere developed over the years to handle ever-changing and increasinglycomplex computer viruses, finally culminating inthe powerful 16-bit NOD-ICE. When the 32-bit processor appeared, abrand new program was created from the ground up to suit this newplatform ... and “Nemocnica na Okraji Disku 32”, or "ESET NOD32", was born.
ESET NOD32'score development team has been with us from the very start, and webelieve they are the most talented and highly skilled group of virusresearchers and antivirus programmers in the world today. They haveconsistently maintained the unsurpassed quality of the ESET NOD32 AntivirusSystem since its release in May 1988.... and since that day, ESET NOD32 hasnot missed a single "in the wild" virus in a Virus Bulletin test.Thanks to their efforts, based on independent evaluation by theprofessional antivirus experts at Virus Bulletin, ESET NOD32 hasconsistently provided higher detection efficiency and faster hard diskscanning than any other antivirus program in the world for the pastfour years.
We've come a long way from being "The littleantivirus program with the funny name from the country hardly anyonehas ever heard of". Our program still has a funny name, but ESET NOD32 isn'tjust another “one hit wonder” ... it's a stable antivirus system with along tradition of being #1, from a company with a sound economichistory.
We're here to stay! |
