ESET Smart Security was designed to be complete solution in the field of
computer protection against infiltrations and attacks. Eset Smart Security
offers more than just a sum of its parts � it is synergy that matters most.
If all components are used simultaneously, the effectiveness of the whole
program is multiplied. ESET Smart Security unifies all its functions to
create a complex security solution.
ESET Smart Security is based on three basic pillars:
ESET NOD32 Antivirus Antispyware
■ This component is in fact an improved version of the award-winning
scanning engine of NOD32 Antivirus v2.7. With respect to program's
unprecedented scanning speed, the following improvements have been made:
■ Improved system of cleaning and deleting infiltrations. The antivirus
system now intelligently cleans and deletes infiltrations with no need for
user interaction.
■ Computer scan can be run in background in order to use only a part of
system resources. Thus scanning will not affect the performance of your
computer and you will be able to work on it as usual.
■ The resident protection supports archive scanning.
■ Update optimization, smaller update package size than in version 2.7, more
effective management and protection of update files against damage.
■ Email protection for users of Outlook Express.
ESET Personal Firewall
■ Firewall monitors all traffic between a protected computer and other
computers in the local network and in the Internet. High quality protection
is provided by the following functions:
■ Scanning of application protocols HTTP and POP3 (used for Internet
browsing and for retrieving email from servers) for infiltrations.
■ Checking low-level network communication which helps to avoid many of
various remote attacks.
■ Ability to recognize the character of network connections established by
various types of infiltrations and ability to automatically terminate them.
■ Filtering of incoming and outgoing communication based on user defined
rules.
■ Monitoring changes in executable files.
■ Interactive and automatic mode. The former enables you to create your own
filtering rules, the latter filters all communication automatically.
ESET Anti Spam
■ ESET Anti Spam serves to filter unsolicited email, which makes your work
with email more effective. The key features of the ESET Anti Spam are:
■ Support for the RCF email format
■ Supports several scanning techniques including the combination of Bayesian
filter, virus signatures and user defined rules.
■ Supports the creation of Blacklist and Whitelist.
■ Integration with the Microsoft Outlook messaging and collaboration client.
■ Ability to control multiple messages simultaneously.
