1. ESET Smart Security 4
ESET Smart Security 4 is the first representative of a new approach to
truly integrated computer security. It utilizes the speed and precision
of ESET NOD32 Antivirus, which is guaranteed by the most recent
version of the ThreatSense® scanning engine, combined with the
tailor‑made Personal firewall and Antispam modules. The result is an
intelligent system that is constantly on alert for attacks and malicious
software endangering your computer.
ESET Smart Security is not a clumsy conglomerate of various products
in one package, as oered by other vendors. It is the result of a
long‑term eort to combine maximum protection with minimum
system footprint. The advanced technologies, based on artificial
intelligence, are capable of proactively eliminating infiltration by
viruses, spyware, trojan horses, worms, adware, rootkits, and other
Internet‑borne attacks without hindering system performance or
disrupting your computer.
1.1 What’s new
The long‑time development experience of our experts is demonstrated
by the entirely new architecture of ESET Smart Security, which
guarantees maximum detection with minimum system requirements.
This robust security solution contains modules with several advanced
options. The following list oers you a brief overview of these
modules.

This module is built upon the ThreatSense® scanning engine, which
was used for the first time in the award‑winning NOD32 Antivirus
system. ThreatSense® is optimized and improved with the new ESET
Smart Security architecture.
