As the name says , ESET’s internet security software is really smart when it comes to detecting viruses and protecting you against the internet world. It has a heavy network traffic filter which blocks almost all kinds of network threats.The only feature it lacks is a strong anti spyware engine. When compared to other internet security software’s ESET’s antispyware engine isn’t strong enough. Nevertheless, it has a powerful antivirus engine which doesn’t misses a single virus. The best three features that we found in ESET Smart Security are :
1. Light And Effective :
ESET Smart Security was awarded as the lightest PC resource using internet security software for the year 2008 and 2009. It uses the least resources when compared to other internet security software’s while giving you the optimum protection. Thus you can do what ever multi tasks you want without your PC getting sucked all the time. When we ran a test we were able to run the following applications while running the smart scan.
- Mozilla Firefox with 2 videos streaming
- Word Of Warcraft
- Adobe Photoshop CS4
- Adobe Fireworks CS4
- Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
2. Smart Network Block :
ESET Smart Security has an excellent network protection that detects any kinds of network threats really fast and quick. It uses the smart technology which enables it to scan all network traffic under its advanced antivirus engine. There for it has the capability to block network attacks and the entry of viruses through the internet at the same time. Also it has a two way firewall protection which scans all incoming and outgoing traffic.
3. Advanced Link Checker :
This feature is found on almost all internet security software’s but, in ESET Smart Security this feature runs on smart technology. Due to this it makes the Link Checker more effective. It means other internet security software have a in built Link Checker that works on its own. But ESET Smart Security’s link checker uses the antivirus and antispyware engine to scan the externally linking pages. So incase if the images or any other kinds of downloads in that web site contain some kind of harmful virus, spyware or malware, the external page is instantly blocked from accessing it.
Summery :
Overall, ESET Smart Security delivers an excellent protection. With its smart technology and powerful antivirus engine, there is no way a virus could survive inside your PC. And also there is no way a hacker or a network attack could easily damage your contents.
