2. Computer scan – This option allows you to configure and launch the On-demand computer scan.

3. Update – Displays information about updates to the virus signature database.

4. Setup – Select this option to adjust your computer’s security level. If Advanced mode is activated, the Antivirus and antispyware submenu will display.

5. Tools – Provides access to Log files, Quarantine, Scheduler and SysInspector. This option only displays in Advanced mode.

6. Help and support – Provides access to help files, the ESET Knowledgebase, ESET’s website and links to open a Customer Care support request.

The ESET NOD32 Antivirus user interface allows users to toggle between Standard and Advanced mode. Standard mode provides access to features required for common operations. It does not display any advanced options. To toggle between modes, click Change... in the bottom left corner of the main program window, or press CTRL + M on your keyboard.
