ESET offers a variety of plans for Windows, macOS and Android. There’s a free version that comes with basic security. The more expensive plans come with features such as parental controls, password management, and encryption of data. The most expensive plan includes a gaming mode that will stop unauthorized access to your computer’s hardware while you play.
The software doesn’t take long to install and setup is easy. It won’t overload your computer with bloatware. There are a few other settings, but the majority of the tools and features are available on the left-hand sidebar.
A brand new feature called Connected Home Monitor provides an easy-to-read representation of your network as well as all devices connected to it. It can be used to test your network for vulnerabilities such as open ports or weak router passwords.
A pop-up appears every when you insert a USB device. You can scan your drive immediately or set it up to scan on a regular basis. If you don’t want to scan the entire drive, you can still run an on-demand scan.
Advanced users will appreciate being able to alter how the suite is examined. You can set the number of folders, files and other items that the program is going to check. You can specify how deeply the program must scan archives if you would like to exclude certain types of data.
