Automate almost anything by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks. Create hotkeys for keyboard, mouse, joystick, and handheld remote controls. Define abbreviations that expand as you type them (e.g. typing "btw" can automatically produce "by the way"). Create custom data entry forms, user interfaces, and menu bars. Other features: remap keys; change volume/mute; launch programs; convert any script into an EXE file that can run on any computer.

NOD32 is easy to install and launches without even restarting the system (something most anti-virus tools require after installation). The program has a simple, straightforward design, though you'll soon discover that this is actually the Standard mode display and that you can choose the Advanced mode if you prefer to have more options and tools at your fingertips.

The program includes basic anti-virus tools such as system analysis, antispyware filters, filters to exclude certain applications, a scheduling tool for automatic analysis and seamless integration within Windows Explorer. Being used to more complex anti-virus solutions though, I missed having an email and web browsing filter. Also, I found the Settings menu a bit too hidden and difficult to use. Apart from these small flaws, NOD32 is definitely worth a try, especially if you want to have a simple, hassle-free anti-virus that takes care of your system and doesn't bother you all the time.
