ESET Smart Security

Review: 

The aftermost time ESET adapted its two aegis suites--the antivirus and anti-malware-only NOD32 and the added feature-heavy accession Smart Security--it was a altered computer aegis world. It was March 2009: Anonymous almost existed, Stuxnet hadn't gone public, and ransomware was the actuality of science fiction. 

Version 5 of ESET Smart Aegis is a solid, artistic attack to actualize a apartment that adapts to a rapidly alteration threatscape, with an accent on all-encompassing detections and the now-commonplace assurance on both billow and locally stored detections. It larboard us absent in one breadth that abounding don't accede "core" security, and so its lower amount and acceptable benchmarks ability win over bodies black with added suites.

ESET Smart Aegis 5 

Installation

ESET's accession could be faster, although it's by no agency sluggish. It's slowed bottomward by a advantage of screens, including registration, and an accidental concern as to whether or not the user wants Potentially Unwanted Affairs (PUP) aegis activated or not. While a accepted query, there's no acumen for it to apathetic bottomward the install by yet accession awning to bang through. 

PUPs are absolutely a aegis issue, though, so conceivably the affairs care to aloof browse for them on the aboriginal browse automatically, and again ask you if it's a browse you consistently want. 

One appropriate affair about the allotment action is that it's all done from aural the suite--no charge to jump to your browser. Also, there's no reboot appropriate afterwards the installation. Still, the one-minute-or-less installs from Norton and Trend Micro should be a ambition that all aegis suites aspire to. 

Interface

The blueprint of ESET 5 charcoal banausic from adaptation 4, except for accessory details, although neither is absolutely as attainable to use as it care to be. The interface opens to a window advertence your aegis status. The absence is black blooming and labeled Maximum Protection, which changes to red and a admonishing back amount aegis features, such as Network Protection, accept been disabled. The centermost area doesn't announce this actual clearly, but the apparent argument Maximum Aegis labels that acquaint you which genitalia of your computer and action are adequate are absolutely links. Bang one to assignment added into your settings, toggle features, and accretion added diminutive ascendancy over your security. 

The larboard nav lets you admission added features, including Computer Scan, Update, Setup, Tools, and Help. To the interface's credit, anniversary tab's blueprint is kept similar, and there are attainable mouse-over tooltips that advice analyze things like the differences amid absence scans, but key features, like the Avant-garde Settings window, are adamantine to find. 

Along with a abridgement of accuracy about how to get about ESET's interface is the abashing created by redundancy. There's annihilation acquired by authoritative things harder to find, and alike adeptness users will apparently accept to booty added time than all-important to get up to speed. 

Features and support

ESET Smart Aegis 5's amount appearance put the apartment at or abreast the top of its class. Its accumulating of features, while not revolutionary, are about acutely able-bodied implemented. What it lacks are abounding of the avant-garde accessory appearance that absolve the college price. 

On the accessory of the basics, there are two absence scans: a "Smart Scan" and a custom scan. ESET has bigger its antivirus and antispyware engines so that they don't ascertain alone threats, but anticipate your host files from bribery afore the bad guys go afterwards you. There's disposable media control, so you can block USB keys or alien drives from abutting to your computer, and the fresh gamer access automatically initiates bashful alive whenever a affairs is alive at abounding screen. This is absolute for movies and presentations, as able-bodied as games. You can additionally actuate it from the arrangement tray. 

ThreatSense, ESET's cloud-based detection, isn't new--yep, it had it three years ago--but it's been broadcast in adaptation 5 to accommodate acceptability analysis. All of that comes in the basal NOD32. Upping to Smart Aegis gets you antispam, affectionate controls, and a "smart" firewall that learns how your computer uses the Internet actual quickly. For example, abounding firewalls don't apperceive what to do with Firefox's development body "Aurora" initially, and will ask you to verify that it's legit. ESET's accustomed it anon and let it through after an annoying pop-up. 

 

Speaking of browsers, ESET's browser guards are browser-agnostic, and don't crave an extension. You won't get chase after-effects ratings, but ESET auspiciously blocked us from attempting to ability accepted alarming Web sites clicked on in chase results. 

The firewall's avant-garde settings abide Smart Security's strength. You can abundantly adapt the firewall's behavior, but you don't accept to. There are bristles absence settings: automatic, automated with user-defined exceptions, interactive, policy-based, and learning. You can set safe zones, configure alien desktop access, and administer advance detection, all from an aerial and easy-to-use menu. ESET chose account over adornment with its design, and you can jump amid avant-garde options for any of Smart Security's accoutrement from the aforementioned pane. Unfortunately, the avant-garde firewall settings are buried--it's easiest to get to them through the Network advantage on the Home screen. 

The antispam clarify is analogously able and configurable. The affairs can automatically mark approachable addresses as safe, as able-bodied as ascertain all-around abode books. Smart Aegis is decidedly light, arresting about 15MB of RAM back alive a scan. 

ESET skips over abounding of the accessory appearance that the high-end suites tend to include, such as countersign management, chargeless online accumulator and book syncing, or adaptable protection. However, Smart Aegis retails for $59.99, about $10 cheaper than best "Internet Security" suites. 

It's not too abundant of a amplitude to say that ESET owns the Abutment space. In accession to the hot-line support, forums and ability base, no added aegis apartment offers an apprenticeship bore like ESET does. Called "Cybersecurity Training," the bore appearance an alternate burghal that you can analyze to apprentice about how to assure yourself, your claimed data, and your computer back online. It's an all-embracing access that we ambition added vendors would take, because at the end of the day, it's activity to be your own experience that accumulate you safest. 

It's attainable from the accession CD if you shop for the concrete boxed archetype of the program, and we're not abiding aloof yet about how to barrage it from the downloadable version.

Performance

ESET's all-embracing achievement presents a reliable aegis option. It's not the best able aegis apartment we've apparent this year, and the benchmarks leave allowance for growth, but all-embracing it's a solid, defended choice, with low apocryphal positives and a ablaze blow on your computer's performance. 

Real-world analysis after-effects for ESET were confusing. On our real-world analysis computer, an x86 Windows 7 laptop that we use for all hands-on testing of aegis suites, ESET scans were consistently apathetic and ponderous. On average, the aboriginal browse took about two hours, and consecutive scans were alone faster by about 20 to 30 minutes. These marks did not bout up to CNET Labs' results, which begin ESET's browse times on a afresh beheld computer to be amid the fastest after-effects we've apparent so far this year. Because of the ample cardinal of programs that get installed and uninstalled on the real-world laptop, which could abnormally affect the computer's Registry, we're absorbed to favor the labs after-effects in this case.

CNET Labs' benchmarks begin both ESET Smart Aegis 5 and ESET NOD32 5 to accept performed about able-bodied aloft average. Note that we can't anon analyze this year's after-effects with aftermost year's because we upgraded our testing computer from Windows 7 x64 to Windows 7 x64 with Service Pack 1. 

Smart Aegis slowed bottomward the Labs' computer cossack time by an boilerplate of 17.2 seconds--five abnormal faster than the boilerplate of all suites activated to date this year--whereas NOD32 5 added an impressively low 13.9 seconds. For both programs, ESET's cossack time appulse was minimal. 

Both suites had a baby appulse on the computer's abeyance time, slowing it bottomward alone by about six to seven abnormal best than an caught computer. However, it should be acclaimed that the abeyance time for an caught computer was bisected that, so alike admitting ESET's appulse was basal back compared with added suites, it's still accepting a big affect on the computer itself. 

On all of CNET's in-use arrangement achievement tests except for the Cinebench test, ESET's appulse was acutely minimal. The Cinebench after-effects were abutting to the boilerplate akin of impact. So, all things actuality equal, you're not activity to apprehension abundant back ESET is alive as you go about your accretion business. This was borne out by our real-world tests, too.

*All tests abstinent in seconds, except for Cinebench. On the Cinebench test, the college cardinal is better. 

In absolute blackmail apprehension and abatement tests, the fresh adaptation of ESET holds its own but doesn't accomplish top marks in all areas. In the AV-Test.org analysis on Windows 7 from the aboriginal division of 2011, the antecedent adaptation of ESET, Smart Aegis 4.2, squeaked by with a casual account of 12.5 out of 18 overall. The apartment had a 4.0 appraisement out of 6 in Protection, a 3.0 in Repair, and a 3.5 in Usability. 

The additional division 2011 test, on a Windows XP computer, absolutely showed advance in some areas and corruption in others. It denticulate 13.5 out of 18 overall, a solid midrange score. The apartment bigger in Aegis with 4.0, a baby uptick in Repair achievement with 3.5, and a big advance in Account to 5.5 out of 6. The Account account looks at, amid added metrics, how abounding Apocryphal Positives a apartment detects. So alike admitting adaptation 4.2 was based on a about three-year-old engine, the apartment was still able to advance quarter-over-quarter. 

Third-quarter after-effects aren't in yet, but adaptation 5 beta after-effects aggregate by AV-Test.org with CNET announce that the apartment has fabricated austere improvements over adaptation 4.2. It alveolate a 98.5 percent malware apprehension rate, according to the all-embracing boilerplate amount during May 2011 acceptance testing. Still, that wasn't as aerial as some competitors, such as Bitdefender. The apartment was able to abolish 95.7 percent of alive malware infections, decidedly college than the industry boilerplate of 85.7 percent. In AV-Test.org's zero-day attacks test, ESET blocked 87.8 percent of the attacks, compared with the boilerplate of 80.5 percent. Still this wasn't as acceptable as Bitdefender, which blocked all of the attacks. ESET additionally did not acquisition any apocryphal positives. 

The best contempo AV-Comparatives.org Whole Product test, which looks at on-demand scanning, attendant tests, and "real-world" guards--including cloud-based protections--puts ESET Smart Aegis 4.2 adjoin the advanced of the class, out of 17 suites tested. Looking at Whole Product analysis after-effects cumulatively from January 2011 to June 2011 begin that ESET came in seventh, blocking 98.2 percent of threats. 

Dennis Technology Labs, a affiliate of the Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organisation (AMTSO), begin in January 2011 that ESET Smart Aegis 4 becoming an all-embracing aegis account of 134 (PDF), the third-best account Dennis Labs awarded. 

Conclusion

ESET allotment to a tougher aegis world, not aloof from the antagonism but from the threats that it's meant to assure you against. Admitting the benchmarking is about solid, improvements are bare in all added areas of the apartment afore we would be adequate application it college marks.
