Although it's famous for being a very secure platform, the Linux environment is about to become somehow untouchable (referring to web attacks) using some special ESET goodies. From now on, every Linux fan is able to bring the power of NOD32 straight on their computer and protect their files with ease. ESET Gateway Security for Linux/FreeBSD, ESET Mail Security for Linux/FreeBSD and ESET File Security for Linux/FreeBSD are the three technology based on NOD32 Antivirus which are supposed to defend the Linux users even if they were somehow protected against the usual threats targeting the Microsoft Windows computers.

"As organizations continue to grow their Linux network infrastructure, they will require highly scalable and robust security solutions that will tightly integrate with their Linux environments," said Miroslav Trnka, co-founder and CTO of ESET. "ESET's solutions, with their minimal impact on network performance and highly-configurable design, are perfectly suited for Linux environments of all sizes. And as the Linux platforms continue to evolve, ESET will continue to develop the most efficient and innovative malware solutions on the market."

Just like usual, you can download trial versions of NOD32 from the official website of the developer but for unlimited usage you have to pay for it. This special version of the security application addressed to the Linux lovers is compatible with most Linux distributions including Red Hat, Fedora, Mandriva, SuSE, Ubuntu and Debian.

NOD32 has always been one of the top antivirus solutions on the market, being really appreciated for its performance bundled with excellent detection rate and attractive user interface. Its latest version, 3.0, is supposed to bring even more security features to protect users' computers.

A few weeks ago, BitDefender, another important security vendor, released Linux-flavored security technologies in a move supposed to increase the company's presence into a market where antiviruses didn't evolve too much.
