ESET security review
For the money ESET’s suite is among of the best. Its malware detection rate comes close to being perfect, and the suite packs a nice collection of extra features with a tiny footprint. The premium version adds parental controls, a secure web browser, and a password manager and the Android package includes an anti-theft feature that can help you locate your missing phone. The network security features are also excellent, including a firewall and an option to scan your home devices for security issues.
One of the most notable is SysInspector. It’s an excellent tool that takes a picture of your system and highlights running processes and important Registry entries, and other information. It’s not for beginners however if you’re used to extended task managers like those found in the Sysinternals process Explorer, you’ll be at in the comfort of your own home.
Another great feature is the ability to schedule scans for on-demand. This is a nice alternative to real-time security, and it’s fast and simple to implement. It’s a pity that ESET does not group it with other scheduling functions and its UI makes it a bit more difficult to locate than their competitors.
The password manager is very user-friendly and comes with a lot of features. It’s a robust form filler and is suitable for online banking. The password manager is only available in the premium version that requires an ESET account to access it, is just as good as other standalone solutions.
