BRATISLAVA - ESET, the leader in proactive protection against
cyber-threats, today announced the start of public BETA testing of its
flagship products − ESET Smart Security 6 BETA and ESET NOD32 Antivirus 6
BETA. The Anti-Theft feature that helps locate missing laptops and
monitors activity on stolen devices will be available in both products
during the BETA stage to reach as many testers as possible. ESET BETA
Program is a final phase in the release process when products are
available for testing to the general public. Both ESET Smart Security 6
and ESET NOD32 Antivirus 6 are available for free download at
http://www.eset.com/beta/v6/.
“At ESET’s
Technology Division we are excited about introducing the new version of
our flagship software − ESET Smart Security 6 BETA and ESET NOD32
Antivirus 6 BETA – less than a year after the launch of generation 5. We
would like to invite our customers to test out the latest BETA versions
during the next months,” says ESET Chief Technology Officer Palo Luka.
According to the global Online Security Brand Tracker Survey* PC users are increasingly going mobile – with 63% of internet users connecting to the internet using their laptops and 12% using their netbooks. Moreover, the survey found that the Anti-Theft feature benefits were requested the most.
Preventing unauthorized access to a computer is identified as
“necessary” or “good to have” by 88% of users, while data theft
protection is requested by 84% of users. Additionally, one in six
internet users already had first-hand experience with a leak of personal
data.
All of the above findings are good reasons why the Anti-Theft feature
has made its way to V6, helping the user to localize and retrieve lost
or stolen computer. With the help of Anti-Theft, the user can track the
missing computer on a map and watch the activity taking place on it
without thieves knowing. In addition, it allows the user to access the
gathered information at my.eset.com. Palo Luka explains: “At ESET we
do not want our customers to pay extra for what we consider an integral
part of personal security. That is why we have added the new features
of Anti-Theft and many more benefits at no extra cost to the users of
ESET Smart Security 6 when it is released later in 2012.”
ESET NOD32 Antivirus 6 BETA and ESET Smart Security 6 BETA contain many improved features and benefits,
which the users will be able to test out: Improved Personal Firewall
and Parental Control, Removable Media Control, Gamer Mode, Antivirus and
Antispyware built on the award-winning scanning engine, Cloud-Powered
Scanning, Idle-State Scanning and the Host-based Intrusion Prevention
System (HIPS), to name a few.
Selected features and benefits of ESET NOD32 Antivirus 6 BETA and ESET Smart Security 6 BETA
Anti-Theft (in the final release, the feature will be available in ESET Smart Security 6 only) –
Automatically monitors a missing device and displays its position on a
map based on visible Wi-Fi networks in range when it comes online. It
allows the user to access the gathered information at my.eset.com,
allowing him/her to watch the thief via built-in camera without him
knowing.
Personal Firewall (ESET Smart Security 6 BETA only) –
Prevents unauthorized users accessing the computer and taking advantage
of personal data. The users can go online to shop, bank and use social
media without worries.
Parental Control (ESET Smart Security 6 BETA only)
– With this feature, the user can keep kids safe on the internet and
choose which categories of sites to block according to age.
Idle-State Scanning
– Performs in-depth scan when the computer is not being used, aiding
system performance and detecting potential inactive threats before they
can cause any damage. The new product also performs scans already while
downloading files. Conserves computer power when in battery mode by
turning off idle-state scanning.
Scan While Downloading Files – Decreases
scanning time by scanning specific file types − such as archives or
smartphone updates − already during the download process.
All BETA
versions are precursors of final products. They are intended for
testing purposes and should not be run on production systems that
contain important data. ESET values our customers’ opinion and feedback,
so if you encounter any issues with the products, please report them
via this form to help us improve the final product.
