Especially in recent years, Windows has been getting more and more built-in security features. However, there are still plenty of third-party programs available with which you can further improve security and exert more influence on your security policy.

ESET Internet Security is a total package that allows you to manage various parts in the field of privacy and security. The bundle offers protection against viruses and spyware, but also against threats that specifically target the user, such as during internet banking or phishing.
You can see the status of the security via the central dashboard. In addition, the dashboard provides access to various tools with which you can investigate security. A good example of this is Network Scanner: this component checks whether the home network is adequately protected. This involves looking at the router, but also at the connected devices.
The makers have taken into account the ‘footprint’ of the program, with the aim of taking as little as possible on the available system resources and disturbing as little as possible with notifications. This is visible in the Gamer mode, among other things. When you run a program in full screen mode, security notifications are automatically suppressed and no updates are downloaded.
