Studies have found that the end-of-year holiday season is one of the most active times for cybercriminals.
People spend more time outside of work and on social media, increasing their exposure to well-crafted credential stuffing attacks or online shopping scams.
Younger members of the family, especially, are susceptible to ads or products that make false promises and claims for an initial seemingly small amount of money.
With the sheer number and variation of threats online, families are looking to software like ESET’s Smart Security Premium, an all-in-one security software that promises to keep users safe both online and offline.
ESET Smart Security Premium is an antivirus, anti-theft, and antispam module for Windows devices, and has additional features such as parental controls, file encryption, and banking and payment protection.
This Christmas, Techday reviewed it to see if it has what it takes to keep your family safe.
Setup
At launch, ESET notifies users that it contains components that may conflict with other antivirus products or security software installed on the user’s computer and recommends for you to remove such programs to prevent potential problems.
From that point forward, the software is quick and easy to install and activate.
Interface
The tabs are easy to understand and navigate through with settings already optimised for a strong level of protection out of the box.
I could see this coming in really handy for my parents, who are of the baby boomer generation, as they can easily ‘set and forget’ the software and count on having reliable cybersecurity protection.
This is especially important considering the uptick on cyber-criminals ‘mining for silver’ by targeting older Internet users in scams.
