eset security review
For the price, ESET’s suite is one of the best. Its malware detection rate is close to perfection and the suite offers an impressive array of additional features with a tiny footprint. The premium version adds parental controls, a secure web browser and a password management as well as the Android package includes an anti-theft feature that will help you find your phone that has disappeared. The features to protect your network include a firewall as well as the option to scan home devices for vulnerabilities, are also great.
One of the most notable is SysInspector, a useful tool that takes a snapshot of your system and highlights running processes as well as important Registry entries, and other information. It can be a bit intimidating for those who are new to the field. However, if you are familiar with extended task managers such as those found in Sysinternals’ process explorer you will feel right at easily.
Scheduling scans on demand is a excellent feature. This is a good alternative to real-time protection, which is quick and easy to do. It’s a pity that ESET doesn’t group it with other scheduling functions and its UI makes it a bit more difficult to locate than their competitors.
Other notable features include a powerful form filler that can be used for online banking, a great spam filter that earns the best scores in our tests, and a powerful password manager that’s simple to use. The password manager, which is only available in the premium version and requires an ESET account to use, performs as well as many standalone options.
