ESET Smart Security Home Edition

ESET Smart Security is the most effective protection you can use to combat today's huge volumes of Internet and email threats. It combines ESET's award-winning NOD32® proactive antivirus and antispyware protection with a powerful yet easy–to-use two-way firewall and robust antispam technology.

FACT:

Surfing the web and using email is a part of daily life.
Criminals capitalise on this to their advantage, flooding the Internet with over 100,000 new attacks every day, in an effort to steal your identity or turn your computer into a "zombie" to launch email spam and other Internet crimes.
Over 70 million users worldwide trust ESET to defend themselves from these attacks.

Using our advanced ThreatSense® technology, ESET Smart Security proactively protects you from new attacks during the critical first hours when other vendors' products are not even aware the attack exists. ESET Smart Security detects and disables both known and unknown viruses, trojans, worms, adware, spyware, rootkits and other Internet threats.

ESET Smart Security is also faster than any other Internet security suite, so fast you won't even notice it running. It's easy to use yet simple to optimise for your specific needs.

ESET Smart Security is security you can trust - every hour of every day.

Key Benefits

Protection from the Unknown
Our award-winning ThreatSense technology uses multiple layers of threat detection to deliver the most effective protection possible against attacks. And ThreatSense is smart; it not only generates far fewer annoying false positive alarms than any other products that use heuristics, but finds malware other antivirus products miss.

Built for Speed
ESET Smart Security is lightning fast, so fast you won't even notice it's there. Even disk-intensive operations like performing a "full disk scan" run smoothly in the background while you work.

Easy on Your System
ESET Smart Security is "lean and mean," using just 48 MB of memory, a fraction of what other products consume. Because it's fast and "light," upgrading your existing Internet security to ESET Smart Security can literally be like buying a new computer. And laptop users can rejoice in the new automatic energy-sipping battery mode.

Easy on You
From its compact and intuitive user interface to its minimal use of alerts, self-training two-way firewall, and other new features, ESET Smart Security is easier to use than ever before.

What's New

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 Optimisation feature makes file scanning faster than ever.

Time-saving Firewall
The new Learning Mode saves time by automatically creating firewall rules by observing how you use your computer, while offering advanced firewall modes for power users.

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 on mount, in addition to scanning any file on any removable device when it is accessed, or during a full-scan of the media. Power users can adjust ESET Smart Security to perform additional levels of scanning on removable media.

System Tools
ESET SysInspector and ESET SysRescue simplify diagnosis 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 Defence
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.
