ESET Security Review

eset security review

ESET’s suite provides the best value for money. Its malware detection rate comes close to perfection and the suite includes a nice collection of extra features within a tiny footprint. The premium version adds parental controls, a secure web browser, and a password manager as well as the Android package includes a anti-theft feature that can help you find your phone that has disappeared. The protection for networks is as well, with a firewall and an option to scan your home devices for weaknesses.

SysInspector is a standout program. It provides a snapshot of important Registry entries and running processes. It’s not for novices however, if you’re used to extended task managers like those in the Sysinternals process explorer, you’ll feel at home.

Another excellent feature is the ability to schedule scans on demand. This is an excellent alternative to real-time security as it’s quick and easy to use. It’s just a shame that ESET does not integrate this with other scheduling tasks, and its UI makes it more difficult to find in comparison to some of its data repository software in online deals competitors.

The password manager is very user-friendly and comes with numerous features. It’s a powerful form filler that works well for online banking. The password manager is only available in the premium version and requires an ESET account in order to use it, works as well as many standalone solutions.
