ESET: a historical player always in the best
The new Internet Security 2020 suite from the Slovak publisher ESET can be summed up in three words: lightness, simplicity and efficiency.
ESET Internet Security
It’s discreet software that focuses on the essentials: real-time protection and scheduled or on-demand scans. Its detection engine is based on signature databases, unwanted behavioral analysis of applications, as well as on in-house Live Grid technology: file analysis based on indications provided by all users of the suite via the cloud.
ESET Internet Security, for whom?
Ideal for power users, the suite incorporates numerous customizable defense, analysis and remediation options. It provides comprehensive protection against all forms of known and unknown threats: viruses, worms, spyware, phishing, trojans, exploits, adware, ransomware, botnets, etc.
ESET Internet Security
In addition to an innovative UEFI scanner to protect the terminal from remote control attempts during startup, it includes an anti-theft device as well as a very practical home network monitoring module making it possible to visualize any intruders at a glance. .
What features
We regret that the password manager and the data encryption system are reserved exclusively for the premium version of the publisher. Unchanged for several years, the interface enjoys a coherent and fluid ergonomics, but it deserves a serious facelift.
