from

improved usability, easy and friendly graphic user interface,

the crucial innovation of the 5th generation of ESET home products

lies in the technology itself. There has been revolutionary change in

what used to be called ThreatSense.Net - ESET's cloud-based malware

collection system that utilizes data from ESET solutions users

worldwide. The technology is now named ESET Live Grid and offers

optimization of scanning based on the white listing of "safe"

files. Another scanning method used in 5th version is cloud-based

reputation which allows determine whether a particular object is

secure or not. As a result, even more precision threats detecting and

increased speed of scanning”, says Pankaj Jain, Director, ESS

Distribution (P) Ltd (Exclusive Distributor for ESET products in

India).

feature Advanced Host Intrusion

Prevention System (HIPS)

in

5th generation of ESET products allows

tech savvy users to customize the behavior of the whole system and

its each part. User can define rules for system registry, processes,

applications and files. The tool can be used to block unauthorized

changes to programs.

Media

Control
is another new tool aimed to secure users from

viruses and malware that spread though removable media affecting

computers without the need for internet access. This tool

automatically prompts the user to scan the content

of all flash drives (USB, SD), firewire, CDs and DVDs, so that

specific threats can be blocked from trying to get through to the

system through the media devices.
Users can block/allow

removable media, based on the type of media, manufacturer, size and

other attributes.

Media

Control feature will be very useful for Indian

users who are most vulnerable for worms and viruses spreading through

Internet and removable media,
mostly USB flash drives, as ESET

latest cyber threat reports show”, adds

Pankaj Jain.

face="Times New Roman, serif">Parental

Control

feature build into ESET Smart Security 5 allows blocking

websites with potentially offensive material. In addition, parents

can prohibit access to more than 20 pre-defined website categories.

The user can set up a “role” for each user account, each with its

own set of default website categories that are allowed or disabled

during browsing.
