- What is Anti-Stealth?
Rootkits use special techniques to prevent unauthorized files and processes from being detected using conventional means. Anti-Stealth technology is integrated into NOD32 and allows the On-Demand Scanner and Access Monitor (AMON) modules to detect these objects even when their presence has been hidden from the operating system. By default, Anti-Stealth is enabled in NOD32 and is used automatically by the modules which require it.

- How do I upgrade from version 2.7 to version 3?
ESET NOD32 ANTIVIRUS VERSION 3.0 IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR -- Windows XP/2000/2003/Vista
Please download version 2.7 if you have another operating system - it has the same great ThreatSense technology.
1. First, you will need your username and password. If you do not have your username and password, please type your email in here and you will be sent your username and password.
2. Next, you need to uninstall NOD32 version 2.7 to make room for ESET NOD32 Antivirus version 3. To do this, click the Start button, then select All Programs, then look for the folder called ESET.

Find the file you downloaded, and double-click it to begin.
Click through the installation, accepting the license agreement. Unless you are an advanced user, please select the 'typical' installation.
During installation, you may see a pop-up bubble from Windows. This is a normal part of upgrading and will be corrected when the install completes.

- Do I want the 32 bit version or the 64 bit version?
You most likely want the 32 bit version - it is far more common than the 64 bit version. To be certain, please follow the steps below.
Windows has a useful FAQ on this matter - below is an excerpt.
1. What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows?
The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows are designed for use in computers with 32-bit or 64-bit processors, respectively.
2. Can my computer run a 64-bit version of Windows?
To run a 64-bit version of Windows, your computer must have a 64-bit processor. To find your computer's processor speed, do the following:
1. Open System by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Performance and Maintenance, and then clicking System. You might have a slightly different configuration - look under "Settings" for the Control Panel if you do not see that. If you do not see "Performance and Maintenance," just go straight to "System."
2. Under System, you can view the processor type and speed. It will mention if the processor is 64 bit - it might not mention if the processor is 32 bit.
3. Why wouldn't Windows mention if my processor was 32 bit?
Back when 32 bit processors were first in use, they were the only option. There was no need to distinguish between '32-bit' and '64-bit,' so many processors do not self-identify as a 32-bit processor.
