What To Expect From Eset’s AntiVirus Software Suite

by erin on January 10, 2011

When it comes to stopping viruses from doing their thing, which includes disrupting schedules and causing a lot of damage to computer operating systems, ESET has got to be the winner hands down. In tests performed by the popular antivirus technical analysts, it was found that Eset detected and removed 79 percent more malware that other software. The closest any virus detecting and removal software came in at 61 percent of the result achieved by Eset.

This software detector could detect close to a million malware and viruses including Trojans and worms crawling the net, ready to invade and destroy years of work of unsuspecting workers. Even the better known antivirus packages were slow in detecting some very harmful viruses probably because their updating system is set to fewer updates over an extended period of time. It is crucial for any antivirus package to be updated as soon as a new virus, malware, worm or Trojan is reported. Here is where this software wins over the rest of the competition.

Owners of this antivirus software can report a new problem and have it seen to by the experts in the back office or customer support within hours of submitting the problem report. Updates are ready for download and the system will scan and remove the problem promptly. This is something many antivirus programs fail to do.

During a number of tests that were carried out with Eset, it was noted that all malware was completely cleaned up. Even network settings of hosts and the registry changes recorded a whopping 73 percent success rate leaving the system faster and more secure.

Installing the program was not a problem at all. In fact, even an amateur can install Eset at first try. The installation is almost automatic with just a few confirmations needed. These confirmations are self-explanatory for anyone who knows how to boot up a system. Perhaps the only problem reported by advanced users with some experience dealing with antivirus software is that the software does not enable the full system scan by default. This needs to be done by going into the settings and enabling it. However, this cannot really be reported as a disadvantage.

For any problem that the user faces, the program refers the user to the website of the company where all contact information is available and support is always on hand. The software package integrates with Outlook or other email clients and can be set to scan links or downloads sent through IM programs as well.

Other offers include integrated advanced protection, virus protection updates, adware protection and all in one scan where some other anti virus programs require the user to carry out two separate scans. What is more the multi thread system of this package even detects rootkits that many antivirus programs ignore completely.

This top security software package is very affordable and once a user has tried it out, they have renewed their subscription multiple times. Other anti virus software users are known to move from one package to another. When they buy Eset, they stick to it for years because they are so satisfied with the service.
