ESET NOD32 SMART SECURITY 7
REVIEW
Eset Smart Security 7 ($60 for one year of protection on one PC) is
relatively new to the U.S. market. This all-in-one security suite
includes antitheft protection and a social media scanner. Unfortunately,
though Eset offers good protection and a fairly intuitive interface, it
puts a lot of stress on your system.
In our real-world (zero-day) tests, which include email and Web threats,
Eset protected against 100 percent of attacks, matching the outstanding
performance of F-Secure Internet Security 2014, Kaspersky Internet Security 2014, Norton Internet Security 2014, and Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security 2014. Eset handled known malware well, too, blocking 100 percent of attacks from malware discovered in the month before testing.
Eset didn’t flag any safe websites our usability tests, nor did it try
to prevent actions carried out while installing and using legitimate
software, or warn users about them, or identify any legitimate programs
as dangerous.
Unfortunately, Eset’s suite hobbles system performance. Its score of 8
tied Norton for the highest (and therefore least desirable) in our
roundup; you can expect slower start-ups, and longer lags during
downloads and installations with this security suite in place. During my
test of Eset, my PC’s fan ran on high nonstop until I uninstalled the
program.
Eset’s installation process is a drag, too. You have to click through
several screens, some of them separated by long downloads. Eset’s
installer recognizes incompatible software (such as other security
suites), but it can’t uninstall them directly. Instead, it asks you to
go into your Control Panel and manually uninstall each incompatible
program. You can skip this step, but doing so could abort Eset’s
installation.
Eset’s main interface has a menu on the left for the main feature
categories, which include scan, update, setup, tools, training, and help
and support. A home screen shows you your protection status (a banner
at the top displays “Maximum protection” in green when you’re fully
protected) as well as any notifications or alerts.
Though Eset’s left menu is touchscreen-optimized, the setup menu isn’t:
Each setting ties to a drop-down menu that lets you disable certain
features for a fixed amount of time. A link at the bottom of the setup
menu takes you to Eset’s advanced settings, which are even less
touchscreen-friendly, with lots of nested menus and tiny checkboxes. The
program does a pretty good job of explaining confusing terms and
settings in plain English.
Eset has some nice features for newbies. The training link in the left
menu takes you to videos, slides, and information about Eset’s security
suite and about online security in general.
Eset Smart Security 7 offers very strong protection, and it’s a great
choice for beginners—if you can accept the toll it takes on your
system’s performance.

AVIRA INTERNET SECURITY 2014
The latest update to Avira Antivirus adds Online Essentials, Avira's Web dashboard, a more approachable, more modern, and more encompassing way to manage security across your devices. While Avira Free Antivirus looks and runs the same as prior versions, the integration of Online Essentials redefines how you scan and protect your computers.
Pros
Basic UI: The old tweaks and settings are still there, but you probably messed with them just once a year, and then by accident. Now, Avira directs all management functions to the Online Essentials Web dashboard, greatly simplifying the primary user flow of running scans and managing devices.
Online Essentials: Avira Online Essentials is the new Web dashboard that makes managing Avira on your devices one consistent experience. Your novice friend might have trouble protecting their computer, but with Pilot, they might never have to.
Performance:Avira ranks relatively high on the detection scale, scoring above the industry average in detection of malware from the AV-Test reference sets.
Design: Avira Antivirus's design has started to reflect the Online Essentials dashboard, and the results look great. Design assets and direction, such as icons and avatars, are distinct, bright, fun, and -- most importantly -- consistent. The prominence of the new design will drastically reduce surprises and confusion when you switch between devices.
