Manufacturer's Description
ESET Smart Security V4
Antivirus / Antispyware / Firewall / Antispam
Stronger and more effective proactive antivirus and antispyware protection with a powerful yet easy–to-use two-way personal firewall and robust antispam technology.
ESET Smart Security V4 Overview
The Internet is a wonderful place for networking, searching for information and entertainment, but it is also where malicious software and other threats lurk. ESET Smart Security 4 keeps your PC safe with smart proactive detection that blocks most known and undiscovered threats hours or days faster than other Internet security technologies. Smart Security enhances your Internet experience without getting in the way.
Smarter Scanner – Threats don't always enter in ways you expect. ESET Smart Security inspects SSL-encrypted communication channels like HTTPS and POP3S, and intelligently scans compressed files to find threats that other products miss. ESET's Smart Optimisation feature makes file scanning faster than ever.
Time-saving Firewall – The new Learning Mode saves time by automatically creating firewall rules by observing how you use your computer, while offering advanced firewall modes for power users.
Upgraded Antispam – ESET Smart Security now takes care of annoying spam with a smaller, faster, and even more effective spam filter.
Removable Media Security – Threats can enter your PC from removable media such as USB thumb drives. For self-running media, ESET Smart Security scans autorun.inf and associated files when the medium is inserted, in addition to scanning any file on any removable device when it is accessed, or during a full-scan of the media. Power users can adjust ESET Smart Security to perform additional levels of scanning on removable media.
System Tools – ESET SysInspector and ESET SysRescue simplify diagnosing and cleaning of infected systems by allowing deep scans of system processes to find hidden threats, and creating bootable rescue CD/DVD or USB drives to help you repair an infected computer.
Self Defense – ESET Smart Security has built-in technology to prevent malicious software from corrupting or disabling it, so you can rest assured your system is always protected.
Many Usability Improvements – ESET Smart Security V4 has numerous speed, security and usability upgrades.
Energy-sipping battery mode extends laptop battery life without compromising security
Advanced Protection Status screen informs you of threat detections
Information pop-ups are hidden when running full screen applications like games, video players or presentations.
Password protection prevents ESET Smart Security from being uninstalled by strangers.
New interface and keyboard shortcuts simplify use for visually impaired users.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
There's no doubt that ESET produces top-quality software and this seems at least as good as any security product I've used, probably better - and I've tried most of the big names.
I was running Norton 360 with Win7 but the Norton licence was about to expire and it just so happened that I wanted to clean-install Win7. Having done that, I added ESET rather than Norton. Installation was very straightforward, hit on boot time was trivial, and there seemed little impact on my system. The initial scan was quick and didn't hog resources. From then on, it ran very quietly.
I like the user interface and find it intuitive.
Is ESET better than Norton? Hard to say. I was comparing with Norton 360 which has more bells and whistles than ESET Smart Security or Norton Internet Security (probably more than most people need, to its detriment). Certainly I haven't had any problems with malware since installing ESET. I'm not sure how other reviewers manage to comment on its malware detection unless they're repeating something they've read elsewhere.
Overall, I'd say buy this or a current Norton product. Judging by what others have said, ESET support is of a high standard which, in itself, is probably enough to swing the decision in its favour.

(What's this?)
For those who just want the bottom line... I highly recommend this product/company.
And for everyone else who'd like the rationale/padding...
My PC's several years old and I'd been thinking about upgrading it as it had become increasingly slow (e.g. IE browser could take around 40-50+ seconds to open, the system would freeze regularly and I'd have to reboot) and I thought this was all purely due to small memory competing with modern graphics.
Nonetheless, my AVG had run out and rather than renew (for a 3rd year) I opted for this as its replacement and WOW, what a difference! (This is when I found out how much AVG interfered with my PC, after uninstalling it I got no more PC freezes and I discovered IE browser windows would open with in a few seconds!).
Upon installing ESET, the only problem I had was the software said I needed to uninstall all previous anti-viruses, which I believed I'd done yet it indicated F-Secure was still present (I've not used that since 2006) and through search' or 'add/remove programmes' I couldn't find it on my system; so before proceeding any further I wrote to ESET to know if it would cause an issue.
They replied the next day stating I needed to contact their UK Technical Support. My general experience of the computing industry isn't very favourable and that Tech Supp, if available, is pretty lousy unless you're prepared to pay a high premium. So, not quite knowing what to expect, I took a deep breath and I sent the same query to ESET UK...
...amazingly, within half an hour they'd phoned me back and rather than talk me through the process, the Tech. remote accessed my PC and did it himself, all the while explaining what he was doing and why.
After watching him go through my Registry removing the last traces of F-Secure the Tech then removed all the remaining AVG code which the AVG uninstaller had left behind (which, interestingly, ESET's software hadn't detected).
Then, as if that wasn't enough, he went through the remaining steps of registration and activation leaving me nothing to do but twiddle my thumbs as I watched and sipped coffee! You couldn't buy a better service than that, it was brilliant.
As for the software's running, there is a slight slowing of my PC when opening IE but nothing in comparison to my previous anti-virus software as it now takes between 1/4 to 1/5 of the time to do the same task.
Overall, I cannot fault either this product or the service that backs it up, highly impressed.

It's hard to review AV software in terms of its protection ability unless you're prepared to expose your PC and potentially get infected. So apart from protection what you want from you AV is to be able to forget it's there - something that won't slow your PC down and generally get in the way. I upgraded to this from AVG free because it was clearly impacting performance. Switching to ESET has reduced the boot time from 2mins 30s to 1min 30sec and file intensive operations such as installing software is also much quicker.
So if you're looking for speed and performance this is your product. Hopefully it provides good protection too.
