ESET's first product was NOD, an antivirus software for computers running MS-DOS. In 1998, ESET introduced NOD32 1.0 for Microsoft Windows, with version 2.0 following in 2003. The last release of the 2.x codebase was 2.70.39, which released in November 2006 and was discontinued in May 2012.
In November 2007, ESET released v3.0 of ESET NOD32 Antivirus and ESET Smart Security v3.0, the latter being a new product combining ESET NOD32 Antivirus with antispam and firewall functions. In March 2009, ESET released v4.0 of ESET NOD32 Antivirus and ESET Smart Security. In March 2010, ESET released v4.2 of ESET NOD32 Antivirus and ESET Smart Security.
In September 2010, ESET released ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Mac OS X Business Edition and in November 2010, a home version called ESET Cybersecurity for Mac OS X.
ESET NOD32 Antivirus and ESET Smart Security 4.2 both support Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Server 2003 R2, Vista, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7; additionally, ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4.2 supports Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 6a. Support for 64-bit (x86-64, not IA-64) versions of these operating systems is provided, although the program runs both 32-bit and 64-bit processes. Users of older versions of Microsoft Windows, such as Windows 95, 98, Me and NT 4.0, will need to install the older 2.70.39 release. In addition to Microsoft Windows the company also supports the following operating systems: BSD, Linux, Mac OS X, Novell NetWare and Sun Solaris.
In May 2011, ESET began publicly beta testing ESET NOD32 Antivirus and ESET Smart Security version 5 which has now been released as a free upgrade to all current ESET NOD32 & Smart Business 4.x license holders as well a free trial for first time clients. Improvements in ESET NOD32 and Smart Security 5 includes an Enhanced Media Control that automatically scans all USB, external and CD/DVD drives for any threats and blocks removable media based on type and manufacturer of the media. Users can customize the behavior of the software by specifying rules for current running processes, programs, registry and tweak the security posture of the software. Gamer Mode being introduced into the software conserves system resources and activities for gaming and other full screen programs by halting all pop-up windows that require user intervention. The new ESET Live Grid is a new cloud powered real-time protection scanner that protects against online based internet threats and online social-media exploits. Parents now have control over the computer with ESET Parental Control feature that blocks potentially offensive and dangerous web content by specifying rules and selecting various pre-defined categories.
ESET also has ESET Mobile Security for Windows Mobile users, Symbian OS and Android. In addition to malware protection it provides antispam filtering for SMS messages, a firewall and anti-theft features, like SIM locking and remote wipe.

“All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The reality is that zero defects in products plus zero pollution plus zero risk on the job is equivalent to maximum growth of government plus zero economic growth plus runaway inflation.”
