Virus and spyware protection :
Spyware, phishing attempts, trojans, viruses, and other garden variety malware were stopped without any problem. Removal of deeply embedded malware on some of our test PCs sometimes required multiple reboots to ultimately fix, but in the end it cleaned up most of the mess, even in these cases. An, the good news is, if you ever have a similar problem after you've installed ESET, they, can help you clean it up for free.
For the best security , there's ESET Smart Security 8 which has a built-in personal firewall, but if basic protection is all you're after, ESET proved its worth this year in virus, spyware, and general malware protection and removal.
Advanced scanning setup for experienced users:
While first-time users may rest assured knowing that ESET's default scan settings are enough to provide PC safety against malware, the experts may open the tool's configuration panel and fiddle with settings for each scan mode. For instance, the real-time guard can be on the lookout for local and network drives, file access, creation and execution, and PC shutdown events.
Settings can be configured when it comes to the scan targets, heuristics, HIPS, gaming mode, boot sectors, runtime packers, cleaning level, file extensions and size, archives, activity logs, startup and PC idle-state scanning, and exclusions, to name just a few.
Resource usage :
ESET's system resource usage was light to average in our tests. When running idle in real-time protection, CPU usage peaked at only 1%. Memory usage was almost identical to its top-of-the-line sibling, ESET Smart Security, with memory use around 4% (about 85MB on our 2GB test PCs.)
Even during a system scan, ESET's memory usage rarely peaked above the baseline, while CPU usage ranged from 30%-90%, usually hovering around 60% (normal for a full system scan).
Generally, we were pleased with the low system impact. We experienced no issues with running multiple apps or surfing the web with ESET.
Technical support :
If your PC has problems during running you will have a technical support .No hidden charges or service fees.They stand by their product and are willing to offer free support to prove it. A smart idea every company should adopt.
In the interest of full disclosure, there's one minor footnote: If your PC is infected before you install ESET, there's a $50 removal fee if you need their help. Anytime after that, professional removal help is always free.
Extra layers of security and other safety measures:
ESET NOD32 Antivirus can also clear the application and emails . and prevent the threats that face the user during exploring the websites . In case of big infections ESET allows the users to create a rescue CD to boot Windows and also its possible to watch network activity and file system , investigate threat and spam statistics, schedule tasks, and take multiple PC snapshots to compare file changes.
