ESET Smart Security is based on three basic pillars:

>> ESET NOD32 Antivirus + Antispyware
· This component is in fact an improved version of the award-winning scanning engine of NOD32 Antivirus v2.7. With respect to program's unprecedented scanning speed, the following improvements have been made:
· Improved system of cleaning and deleting infiltrations. The antivirus system now intelligently cleans and deletes infiltrations with no need for user interaction.
· Computer scan can be run in background in order to use only a part of system resources. Thus scanning will not affect the
performance of your computer and you will be able to work on it as usual.
· The resident protection supports archive scanning.
· Update optimization, smaller update package size than in version 2.7, more effective management and protection of update files against damage.
· Email protection for users of Outlook Express.

>> ESET Personal Firewall
· Firewall monitors all traffic between a protected computer and other computers in the local network and in the Internet. High quality protection is provided by the following functions:
· Scanning of application protocols HTTP and POP3 (used for Internet browsing and for retrieving email from servers) for infiltrations.
· Checking low-level network communication which helps to avoid many of various remote attacks.
· Ability to recognize the character of network connections established by various types of infiltrations and ability to automatically terminate them.
· Filtering of incoming and outgoing communication based on user defined rules.
· Monitoring changes in executable files.
· Interactive and automatic mode. The former enables you to create your own filtering rules, the latter filters all communication automatically.

>> ESET Anti Spam

· Support for the RCF email format
· Supports several scanning techniques including the combination of Bayesian filter, virus signatures and user defined rules.
· Supports the creation of Blacklist and Whitelist.
· Integration with the Microsoft Outlook messaging and collaboration client.
