ESET Smart Security

The Internet is a wonderful place for networking, searching for information and entertainment, but it is also where malicious software and other threats lurk. ESET Smart Security 4 keeps your PC safe with smart proactive detection that blocks most known and undiscovered threats hours or days faster than other Internet security technologies. Smart Security enhances your Internet experience without getting in the way.

 Key Benefits

Protection from the Unknown — Its heuristics detect the least amount of false alarms in the industry, and 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 end users 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 firewall, and other new features, ESET Smart Security is easier to use than ever before.

Additional Business Edition Benefits

Supports Complex Compliance Requirements — ESET Smart Security adds critical features, such as external drive access control and scanning, Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) compatibility, as well as enhanced logging and reporting functions to support your compliance initiatives.

Host-based Intrusion Prevention System — ESET delivers host-based intrusion protection through a combination of capabilities including self-defense, advanced heuristics, web access protection and protocol filtering. In particular, advanced heuristics stops potentially malicious code by analyzing their behavior and disabling them before they can do damage. ESET's self-defense prevents malware from disabling our software and weakening the security of the user's system.

Easy to Manage — ESET Remote Administrator provides a single management console to control an entire network from a single screen—supporting tens to thousands of computers. Installation, updates, alerts and other tasks are all easily managed from these intuitive screens. To effectively manage your networked systems, the updated console smooths Active Directory integration and simplifies policy creation. With support for Oracle, MySQL and MS-SQL databases, it also handles increasingly large deployments and runs significantly faster. ESET Smart Security can be configured with antispam and/or personal firewall disabled to ensure compatibility with existing network security solutions. Integrated SysInspector makes it easier for IT administrators to diagnose and resolve problems.

Usability Improvements — For administrators, version 4 offers:

• License Manager with simplified tools to manage multiple licenses with different terms
• Read-only access for Management Console which enables multiple administrators to share tasks without risk of overwriting configurations
• Notification Manager to keep administrators informed of all key events with customizable alerts
• Full support of Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) in support of compliance initiatives
• More efficient use of network bandwidth and improved log storage scalability
• Advanced Protection status screen that informs you of threat detections
• Password protection that prevents ESET Smart Security from being uninstalled by unauthorized employees or visitors
