Overview ESET's product line has, traditionally, been focused on the detection and removal of viruses and other forms of malicious software, though notice as one reads through this paper that it do rather more than that, and that product range is increasing in versatility. Still, the data resources that it has so as to bring this summary are still focused on malware, so it won't make more than a fleeting reference to other fascinating security-related phenomena and issues that have dominated this year. ESET has a unique store of data to collect, gathered through ThreatSense.Net technology, which automatically collects data about malware threats, and particularly about newly-discovered, heuristically detected threats.
