"We are proud to present ESET Smart Security – an integrated solution composed on an antivirus, antispyware, antispan and personal firewall that delivers unprecedented speed and accuracy for SMEs and enterprises," said Jun Santos, president, VSSC Distribution Inc.

ESET, the leader in proactive threat protection, features its award-winning advanced heuristic ThreatSense® detection system anmd the ESET NOD32 scanning engine with its ESET Smart Security Solution. It combines speed, accuracy and minimal computer system impact to deliver a significant improvement over traditional solutions in the marketplace today.

ESET solutions are built on ESET’s one-of-a-kind ThreatSense technology. This advanced heuristics engine enables proactive detection of malware not covered by even the most frequently updated signature-based products by decoding and analyzing executable code in real time, using an emulated environment.

By allowing malware to execute in a secure virtual world, ESET is able to clearly differentiate between benign files and even the most sophisticated and cleverly-disguised malware. ESET Smart Security takes this advanced methodology to the next level by applying it to the integrated solution as a whole, passing evaluation information between its integrated features for the most accurate protection possible.

At the same time, ESET Smart Security provides the industry’s highest level of accuracy and fewest false-positives through ESET NOD32 Antivirus. With significantly lower performance overhead compared to the competition, ESET Smart Security uses only 40MB of disk space and scans systems up to 30-times faster than other products.

"Our research indicates that consumers and businesses are looking for maximum protection, low system requirements, accurate results and fast scanning needs – in that order. They are tired of solutions that slow down their computers and interfere with other applications," said Anton Zajac, CEO of ESET, LLC.

"ESET set out to build a solution that addresses these concerns while offering the best level of protection available. With ESET Smart Security, we’ve surpassed our goal and savvy computer users will be amazed by its ease of use, intelligent lightweight design and near-zero impact on system performance."

According to Phil Hochmuth, senior analyst at the Yankee Group threats no longer appear in the form of pure viruses of spam or phishing.

They now come as "blended" threats, which require an integration and intelligence among individual security features. Smart computer users are looking for the best level of integrated protection with the minimal amount of inconvenience.
