Unnoticed in the background

ESET was previously never struck me as a provider of security software, but the Slovak company has been active since 1992 and current test reports attest "Smart Security" always a very high level of protection.

The installation is carried out either with the supplied CD or you download the latest version from the manufacturer's website. With the included serial number then the version is unlocked.
This product variant of Smart Security to acquire licenses for 3 computers. The protection shall apply from activation of the first license for 1 year, and indeed for all 3 licenses simultaneously. Unused licenses expire.
Before installing Smart Security previously installed security software must be uninstalled in order to ensure proper installation. In addition to uninstalling on Windows (Control Panel) can also recommend that - if any - use the special "Remover" programs of manufacturers to really remove all residues.

In addition to antivirus Smart Security contains a firewall component to protect privacy and against spam, parental controls to block unwanted content and other security features. The individual product features, I do not want to repeat here, since they are sufficiently explained on the manufacturer's website and Amazon-.

For effective protection you basically no longer needs to intervene after the installation because the program works invisibly in the background. And this without significantly burdening the PC. This is especially important in older PCs without sumptuous hardware equipment.
If you want to optimize settings or set test dates, you find your way quickly. The user interface is intuitive and self-explanatory. Moreover, there is still an extensive PDF manual.

Smart Security slows even older PCs and has so far not allowed any weakness.
