2.5 Upgrading to a more recent version
New versions of ESET NOD32 Antivirus are issued to implement improvements or fix issues that cannot be resolved by
automatic updates to program modules. Upgrading to a more recent version can be accomplished in several ways:
1. Automatically, by means of a program update.
Since the program upgrade is distributed to all users and may have an impact on certain system configurations, it is
issued after a long testing period to ensure functionality with all possible system configurations. If you need to
upgrade to a newer version immediately after its release, use one of the methods below.
2. Manually, in the main program window by clicking Install/Check for updates in the Update section.
3. Manually, by downloading and installing a more recent version over the previous one.
At the beginning of installation, you can choose to modify current program settings by selecting Adjust current
settings.
2.6 Computer scan
After installing ESET NOD32 Antivirus, you should perform a computer scan to check for malicious code. In the main
program window, click Computer scan and then click Smart scan. For more information about computer scans, see
the section Computer scan.
