ESET Security Review

ESET offers a range of plans for Windows, macOS and Android. These include a free plan that’s great for security basics, while the more expensive options include features like password management and parental controls as well as data encryption. The most expensive plans include a gaming mode that blocks unauthorized access to the hardware of your computer when you’re playing.

The program isn’t difficult to install and the setup is easy. It won’t load your computer with bloatware. There are a few extra options to play with but the majority of tools and features are clearly identified on the left sidebar.

A brand new feature called Connected Home Monitor is a handy visual representation of your network as well as all devices that are connected to it. It can also be used to identify vulnerabilities, such as open ports and weak router passwords.

Another feature that stands out is a pop-up message that appears every time you insert the USB storage device. You can scan the drive instantly, or set it to scan automatically. If you don’t wish to scan the entire drive, you can still run an on-demand scan.

Advanced users will appreciate the ability to adjust the frequency and type of the suite is able to scan. You can define the number of folders and files that the program will scan in addition to specific items such as networks and boot sectors. You can even specify the depth at which the program must scan archives, in case you wish to omit certain kinds of files from the initial scan.
