Smarter
Scanner – Threats don't always enter in ways you
expect. ESET Smart Security inspects SSL-encrypted communication
channels like HTTPS and POP3S, and intelligently scans
compressed files to find threats that other products miss.
ESET's Smart Optimization feature makes file scanning
faster than ever.
Time-saving Firewall – New Learning Mode saves
time by automatically creating firewall rules by observing
how end users use the network, while offering advanced
firewall modes for power users. Pair customized firewall
profiles with trusted network zones and have appropriate
firewall rules applied automatically based on detected
network presence.*
Trusted Zone Authentication – Identify trusted
network zones by network configurations (a configurable
combination of host/DNS/DHCP server IP address, wireless
SSID, connection profile, etc) or securely authenticate
into a network using ESET Authentication Server.*
Upgraded Antispam – ESET Smart Security now takes
care of annoying spam with a smaller, faster, and even
more effective spam filter.
Removable Media Security – Threats can enter
your PC from removable media such as USB thumb drives.
For self-running media, ESET Smart Security scans autorun.inf
and associated files when the medium is inserted, in
addition to scanning any file on any removable device
when it is accessed, or during a full-scan of the media.
System Tools – ESET SysInspector and ESET SysRescue
simplify diagnosing and cleaning of infected systems
by allowing deep scans of system processes to find hidden
threats, and creating bootable rescue CD/DVD or USB
drives to help you repair an infected computer.
Self Defense – ESET Smart Security has built-in
technology to prevent malicious software from corrupting
or disabling it, so you can rest assured your system
is always protected.
