ESET Smart Security is a powerful security tool that can save your PC from virus, online threats and spam. The program creates a security wall on every side of your operating system using its powerful Firewall, Antispam module and Antispyware to provide complete protection from every source of virus.
The program offers two user modes, advanced and standard. Using the Advanced mode, you can configure every small thing of the antivirus, firewall and email scanner. But in the Standard mode, most of the processes are automated. You can also customize the alerts and actions for the infected emails or block web pages you don’t want to be accessed using your PC. The antivirus integrates into the Windows right-click menu and enables you to scan any file or document in two clicks.
The rest of the features like Quarantine, Scheduler, Exclusions and powerful real time virus scanner are simplified for the novice. A brand new feature called ThreatSense.Net is also supported that informs you about the latest viruses and threats.
Shortly speaking, ESET Smart Security is an advanced antivirus and security tool designed to keep your PC and data safe from virus and spyware with very user friendly interface.

Parental control
- Exclusive to ESET Smart Security 5, Parental control allows parents to use their ESET security product to control what content their children have access to on the Internet. Key features of Parental control include: Web content filter: Automatically selects appropriate web categories for easy setup and blocks or allows specific web pages and categories.
User Accounts: Create and manage user accounts with pre-configured and custom profiles based on the age and profile of the user (i.e. Parent, Teenager, Child and Custom).
Activity log: View a log of sites visited, whether those sites are allowed or restricted, and their time stamp.
ESET Live Grid
- ESET Live Grid is a new feature that speeds up scanning by utilizing a safe whitelist from ESET users in the cloud. By skipping files, folders and programs that are known to be safe, ESET Live Grid speeds up scan time and boosts system performance.
- First time scans with a new virus signature database do not utilize the cloud whitelist
- ESET Reputation System: Running processes are displayed along with their risk level and number of users in the cloud who are also running them.
