ESET Smart Security is a fully integrated security solution that includes antivirus, anti-spyware, a personal firewall and an antispam module. It features an improved graphical user interface with 2 operating modes for common and advanced users. The program uses a smart cleaning algorithm that automatizes the procedure of malware removal. Updates are delivered through very small incremental update files to ensure little traffic especially for dial-up users. The configuration can now be exported to xml files.

    Seems to be heading in the right direction.
    Not come across any issues using this version - been using it since this morning.

    Reviewing 4.0.226 RC1 (Apr 16, 2009)

    The new version 4.0 adds self protection and is still very light on resources. It's not perfect at detection for malware but what AV is, still need to use several software AV to be sure. I would never trust a single AV.

    I prefer Zone Alarm Pro Firewall to Eset's Firewall but Zone Alarm is slow and they take forever to get a 64-bit version released. Zonelabs will probably take forever to get a Windows 7 version out as well. Eset 4.0 works fine on Windows 7 so far.

    Reviewing 4.0.68 Beta 1 (Nov 19, 2008)

    Certainly seems an improvement over version 3.
    The connection to thier AV server seems a little slow at the moment, perhaps it's using a different server from usual, or it is just getting hammered with people trying this.

    At this stage the app is a bit sluggish and seems to use more resources than v3.

    AV Update sometimes hangs.
