ESET Smart Security 6 Makes You a Security Expert

Over the past month I have had the opportunity to try out ESET Smart Security 6 Antivirus & Anti-Theft Software. At the beginning I have ti say that I was far from a security expert. I was a mere fledgling when it came to this. That’s why I was so happy when I found out that the program had an extensive video learning system to prepare any visitor both new and old.
I decided to take the time to go through all of the steps to make sure that not only I have the whole system set up but rather that I am more “in the know” about things that are important when it comes to thinking about safety and security.

The training that they provided was easy to understand and totally complete. They went through a ton of the basics and then even more than that! Beyond that you get to take over the town as you learn more which I thought was fun too. Anyone can watch and learn and become an expert in their own right.

Outside of the training I have to say that I am still quite impressed with the program itself. You ended up with a great program that really does share so much with the user. I still love the facebook cleaner, even though it sometimes comes up with things that you don’t even realize..

All-in-all I still have to say that the program was a great one and one that I would recommend to all. The price is great and it gives you so much more than the regular Antivirus software does!

About the Program

ESET Smart Security 6 is an all-in-one Internet Security solution with new Anti-theft feature that locates your missing laptop and gives you tools to help recover it. Personal Firewall and Anti-Phishing keep your data safe from identity theft and other scams.

The ESET Smart Security 6 software program does more than just protect you from viruses, but it also gives you the power to:

Secure your computer and your assets
Safeguard your online identity
Surf the web with confidence
Enjoy the full power of your computer
Keep Kids Safe on the Internet
Customize to fit your needs

In each of the above you are given a ton of latitude with the ESET Smart Security 6 software to completely protect your computer. One of the features that I have never had in the past was the Anti-theft option that is provided. In only a few keystrokes you can rest assured that your computer has a geotag connected to it that can be tracked so if stolen, you can get it back!

The scanning feature in the ESET Smart Security 6 program is very complete and thoroughly examines every nook and cranny of the computer. The computer that I installed this on was fairly new and even with that I still found some issues that needed to be cleaned up and the program made it easy and even automatically cleaned some of the issues up without me even having to raise a finger. The one other thing that I appreciated was that when the scan was running my computer was not so bogged down by this process that I could not be multi-tasking on other things! The ESET Smart Security 6 program also gives you the ability to scan external items as well, so even if they are not physically on the hard drive you can still scan external hard drives, flash drives or other such media which again, in my perspective, is a great asset to have in a protection program.

The program also does a great job at walking you through the steps that you should be taking to safeguard your identity, giving you helpful hints about how to change your passwords, looking for phishing schemes and even configuring a personal firewall for your home that hackers will not be able to easily crack.

One of the pieces of the program though that I was most excited about was the idea of keeping your kids safe on the internet. I have an almost nine year old and I know that I need to set up some definite parameters to curb her use of the computer and the internet, especially for the future. I had no idea what steps to take until I had this program. The program walks you step-by-step through everything that you need to be downloading and thinking about when it comes to your kids. For me, I downloaded Windows Life Family Safety which opened my eyes to setting up an account with my eldest daughter which would give me a ton of piece of mind to know what she is doing, when and how much time she is spending. On top of this though J-Mom and I have the ability to specifically ban internet sites and programs that we feel she should not be having access to. I am just scratching the surface, but I have to thank the makers of ESET Smart Security 6 for educating me completely on this – even though I know I have much still to learn!
