ESET Smart Security - Features
Key Features:
- Redesigned user interface: The user interface in version 9 has been significantly redesigned and simplified based on the results of usability testing. All GUI wording and notifications have been carefully reviewed and the interface now provides support for right-to-left languages such as Hebrew and Arabic. Online help is now integrated into ESET Smart Security and offers dynamically updated support content.
- Antivirus and antispyware: Proactively detects and cleans more known and unknown viruses, worms, trojans and rootkits. Advanced heuristics flags even never-before-seen malware, protecting you from unknown threats and neutralising them before they can do any harm. Web access protection and Anti-Phishing works by monitoring communication between web browsers and remote servers (including SSL). Email client protection provides control of email communication received through the POP3(S) and IMAP(S) protocols.
- Regular updates: Regularly updating the virus signature database and program modules is the best way to ensure the maximum level of security on your computer.
- ESET LiveGrid (Cloud-powered Reputation): You can check the reputation of running processes and files directly from ESET Smart Security.
- Device control: Automatically scans all USB flash drives, memory cards and CDs/DVDs. Blocks removable media based on the type of media, manufacturer, size and other attributes.
- HIPS functionality: You can customise the behavior of the system in greater detail; specify rules for the system registry, active processes and programs and fine-tune your security posture.
- Gamer mode: Postpones all pop-up windows, updates or other system-intensive activities to conserve system resources for gaming and other full-screen activities.
- Banking & Payment Protection: Banking & Payment protection provides a secure browser for use when accessing online banking or online payment gateways to ensure all online transactions take place in a trusted and secure environment.
- Support for Network signatures: Network signatures allow fast identification and block malicious traffic coming to and from users devices such as bots and exploit packs. The feature can be considered an enhancement of Botnet Protection.
- Intelligent Firewall: Prevents unauthorised users from accessing your computer and taking advantage of your personal data.
