Multilayered security

Antivirus and Antispyware
Provides proactive protection against all types of online and offline threats and prevents malware spreading to other users.

Advanced Machine Learning
In addition to ESET Machine Learning in the cloud, this proactive layer runs locally. It is specifically designed to detect advanced, never-before-seen malware, while having a low impact on performance.

Idle-State Scanning
Aids system performance by performing in-depth scans when your computer is not in use.Helps detect potential inactive threats before they can cause damage.

Exploit Blocker 
Blocks attacks specifically designed to evade antivirus detection, and eliminates lockscreens and ransomware. Protects against attacks on web browsers, PDF readers and other applications, including Java-based software.

Cloud-Powered Scanning
Speeds up scans by whitelisting safe files based on the ESET LiveGrid® file reputation database. Helps to proactively stop unknown malware based on its behavior, by comparing it with our cloud-based reputation system.

Script-Based Attack Protection
Detects attacks by malicious scripts that try to exploit Windows PowerShell.Also detects malicious JavaScripts that can attack via your browser. Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge browsers are all supported.

Scan While Downloading Files
Decreases scanning time by scanning specific file types − such as archives − during the download process.

Ransomware Shield 
Blocks malware that tries to lock you out of your personal data in order to demand a ‘ransom’ payment. Employs advanced behavior-based detection techniques to protect against malware that tries to damage devices by encrypting as many files as it can locate on local and network drives.

Intel® Threat Detection Technology NEW
Boosts ransomware protection by integrating Intel’s hardware-based ransomware detection technology. It helps to expose ransomware as it attempts to avoid detection in memory. This enablement also allows us to use Intel® TDT machine learning models, which are only found on Intel® Core™ processors, to assist with the detection of threats using advanced evasion techniques, including zero-day variants, binary obfuscation, cloaking in a virtual machine, and fileless attacks, while keeping overall system performance high across all compute layers.

Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS)
Lets you customize the behavior of the system in greater detail, with a focus on behavioral detection. Gives you the option to specify rules for system registry, active processes and programs in order to fine-tune your security posture. Employs the latest tracing capabilities to scan parts of memory that can be modified by sophisticated malware injection techniques.

Advanced Memory Scanner
Enables improved detection of persistent malware that employs multiple layers of encryption to conceal its activity.
