ESET HOME Security Premium: security suite with encryption and VPN

ESET HOME Security Premium is ESET's security suite that adds data encryption, protection for selected folders and the ESET VPN service to antivirus, firewall and banking protection. It is the successor to ESET Smart Security Premium. The package includes applications for several platforms: ESET Smart Security Premium on Windows, ESET Cyber Security on the Mac and ESET Mobile Security on Android devices. The range of features differs depending on the operating system. This offer has a term of 12 months.

Protection features on Windows

On Windows, ESET's antivirus forms the basis: real-time protection is aimed at viruses, spyware, keyloggers and adware, Advanced Machine Learning analyses unknown files, and Ransomware Shield monitors the system for behaviour that indicates ransomware. Anti-Phishing blocks fake or manipulated websites and warns about malicious links.

In addition, there are features for network and privacy: a Firewall, Connected Home Monitor for checking the router and smart home devices, Safe Banking & Browsing with a secured browser window, Webcam Protection, Parental Control and Anti-Theft, which can be used to locate a lost laptop.

Encryption, folder protection and VPN

ESET Secure Data encrypts files, folders and USB drives. This allows you, for example, to store tax documents or copies of identity documents on an encrypted USB stick whose content cannot be read without decryption. The feature is only available on Windows and not on ARM64 devices. ESET Folder Guard ensures that only trusted applications may modify files in protected folders, for example in the folder containing family photos. ESET LiveGuard is also part of the Premium package.

ESET VPN routes the internet connection through a server in encrypted form and is intended for use on public and private networks, for example on a hotel's Wi-Fi. According to ESET, the VPN in the Premium package can be used on up to 3 devices, with server locations in 40 countries.

Features on Mac and Android

On the Mac, ESET Cyber Security includes antivirus protection against viruses and spyware, web and email protection, Anti-Phishing, a firewall, network attack protection, ESET LiveGuard and ESET VPN. On Android smartphones and tablets, ESET Mobile Security offers, in addition to antivirus protection, Anti-Theft with location tracking, a call filter, payment protection, Anti-Phishing and also ESET VPN.
