ESET Smart Security is a fully integrated security solution and includes antivirus, anti-spyware, a personal firewall and antispam. While some competitive solutions purport to have similar functionality, ESET has developed a unique approach that provides true and full integration of point security solutions. The key advantage of this approach is that individual protection modules are able to communicate together seamlessly, to create unparalleled synergy to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of protection. Moreover, the integrated architecture guarantees optimal utilization of system resources, so ESET Smart Security continues ESET's well know reputation for providing rock solid security in a small footprint that will not slow down an individual's computer.

ESET Smart Security Public Beta 1 (ESS) contains the following components:
• The next version of ESET's anti-malware engine (NOD32 v3.0)
• A personal firewall with port stealthing and advanced filtering features
• Antispam filtering with Bayesian filter, whitelisting and blacklisting.

ESS Public Beta 1 runs on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP (x86), Windows Server 2003 (x86) and Windows Vista (x86). Antispam only works with Microsoft Outlook. Support for other operating systems, processor architectures and mail clients will be added in future test versions.

This beta version is not complete: It does not contain all of the features and functionality of the final, released version and the online help and documentation are not finished. ESS Public Beta 1 is intended for experienced users and should not be installed on computers which perform critical tasks.
