ESET Smart Security 6 #ESETprotects

Computers are an important part of our everyday lives. It’s what many of us use for business, to communicate, research and even unwind. Your computer can be a portal for online banking and integral information on your life. The last thing you’d want is for anyone to get their hands on that sort of information. This is why it’s as important as ever to have the protection you need.

My kids are of the age where they will gradually start spending more time on the computer for school and socializing. With random downloads and surfing it’s important that I have the best security system on my computer.

I am proud to announce that I have been chosen as a Brand Ambassador for ESET Cyber Security Pro. What does that mean exactly? It means that I am using this program and going to share my experience with you over the next couple of months.

PHISHING

Have you ever experienced phishing? That strange email that seemingly comes from your bank, maybe internet provider asking for sensitive information such as passwords, maybe your date of birth in order to settle a claim. These threats are disguised with various links that when clicked will give the intruders access to your system. Well, first off, NEVER respond. The best thing to do in that situation is to pick up the phone and call the supposed sender directly or otherwise just delete. ESET is fantastic for detecting phishing schemes.

ESET Smart Security scans websites for identity theft scams (anti-phishing) while I browse and it checks all my incoming emails for viruses and other threats, allowing me to surf the web with greater peace of mind.

PARENTAL CONTROLS

As a parent who is new to having their kids surf online, I especially love that the parental controls include customizable user roles, web content filtering and activity logging. It allows me to block web pages, restrict access by category and configure user roles easily.

ESET Smart Security allows parents to prevent their kids from accessing violent and inappropriate websites. This is especially important to me as my daughter will be using my computer to research projects this school year. It will help stop any accidental downloads of dangerous worms and viruses. It also helps me create a white-list of safe websites which is really important when transitioning children that are new to using the computer. This will allow me to know exactly what the kids are doing online.

I love my MacBook Pro and I also love that ESET is the first and only company in the world with ICSA certification for Mac OS X.
