It wasn't until 1992 when Miroslav Trnka and Peter Paško, together with Rudolf Hrubý, established ESET as a privately owned limited liability company in the former Czechoslovakia. The product NOD was launched in Slovakia when the country was part of the Soviet Union and being ruled by the communist regimen, where private entrepreneurship was banned. The company's technology, which has over a billion users worldwide via its use in Chrome Cleanup, is marketed under the banner of "Progress. At present, ESET is regularly recognized as Slovakia's most successful company on an annual basis and as Europe's biggest privately held cybersecurity company.
This sparked an idea between friends to help protect PC users and soon grew into an antivirus software company. However, its history dates back to 1987, when two of the company's founders, Miroslav Trnka and Peter Paško, developed their first antivirus program called NOD. The company was founded in 1992 in Bratislava, Slovakia. The company aims to protect human progress globally through the provision of security software and services. ESET´s security products are made in Europe and provide security software in over 200 countries and territories worldwide, and its software is localized into more than 30 languages.
