ESET Security Review
ESET offers a variety of plans for Windows, macOS, Android and Linux. There’s a free version that offers basic security. The more expensive plans come with features such as parental controls, password management and data encryption. The most expensive plan comes with the gaming mode which blocks access by unauthorized persons to the hardware of your computer while you are playing.
Installation is simple and quick. It doesn’t overwhelm your computer with bloatware, as well. There are a few other settings but the majority of tools and features can be found on the left sidebar.
Connected Home monitor is a brand new feature that offers a visual representation of all devices connected to your network. You can also use it to identify vulnerabilities like open ports and weak passwords for routers.
A pop-up window appears each time you insert the USB device. You can scan the drive right away, or set it to scan on a regular basis. If you don’t want to scan the entire drive, you may perform an on-demand scan.
Advanced users will appreciate being able to control how and what the suite is examined. You can define the number of files and folders which the program should scan in addition to specific items such as networks and boot sectors. You can also specify how deep the program should go through archives, if you prefer to omit certain kinds of files from the initial scan.
