of Internet and email threats. It combines ESET’s award-winning NOD32® proactive antivirus and
antispyware protection with a powerful yet easy–to-use firewall and robust antispam technology.
Using our advanced ThreatSense® technology, ESET Smart Security proactively protects you from new

ESET Smart Security detects and disables both known and unknown viruses, trojans, worms, adware,
spyware, rootkits and other Internet threats.
ESET Smart Security is also faster than any other Internet security suite, so fast you won’t even notice it
running. It’s easy to use yet simple to optimize for your specific needs.
ESET Smart Security is security you can trust — every hour of every day.
KEY BENEFITS
Protection from the Unknown
Our award-winning ThreatSense technology uses multiple layers of threat detection to deliver the
most eective protection possible against attacks. And ThreatSense is smart; it not only generates far
fewer annoying false positive alarms than any other products that use heuristics, but finds malware
other antivirus products miss.
Built for Speed
ESET Smart Security is lightning fast, so fast you won’t even notice it’s there. Even disk-intensive
operations like performing a “full disk scan” run smoothly in the background while you work.
Easy on Your System
ESET Smart Security is “lean and mean,” using just 48 MB of memory, a fraction of what other
products consume. Because it’s fast and “light,” upgrading your existing Internet security to ESET
Smart Security can literally be like buying a new computer. And laptop users can rejoice in the new
automatic energy-sipping battery mode.
Easy on You
From its compact and intuitive user interface to its minimal use of alerts, self-training firewall, and
other new features, ESET Smart Security is easier to use than ever before.

WHAT’S NEW
Smarter Scanner
Threats don’t always enter in ways you expect. ESET Smart Security inspects SSL-encrypted
communication channels like HTTPS and POP3S, and intelligently scans compressed files to find
threats that other products miss.
Time-saving Firewall
The new Learning Mode saves time by automatically creating firewall rules by observing how you use
your computer, while oering advanced firewall modes for power users.
Upgraded Antispam
ESET Smart Security now takes care of annoying spam with a smaller, faster, and even more eective
spam filter.
Removable Media Security
Threats can enter your PC from removable media such as USB thumb drives. For self-running media,
ESET Smart Security scans AUTORUN.INF and associated files on mount, in addition to scanning any
file on any removable device when it is accessed, or during a full-scan of the media. Power users can
adjust ESET Smart Security to perform additional levels of scanning on removable media.
System Tools
ESET SysInspector™ and ESET SysRescue simplify diagnosis and cleaning of infected systems by
allowing deep scans of system processes to find hidden threats, and creating bootable rescue CD/DVD
or USB drives to help you repair an infected computer.
Self Defense
ESET Smart Security has built-in technology to prevent malicious software from corrupting or
disabling it, so you can rest assured your system is always protected.

• Energy-sipping battery mode extends laptop battery life without compromising security
• Advanced Protection Status screen informs you of detected threats
• Information pop-ups are hidden when running full screen applications like games, video players or
