kes32 0 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Just downloaded trial version . Please excuse very limited knowledge of I/T. I will be using for Online Banking and would appreciate knowing if any extra adjustments are needed to the downloaded trial to ensure banking safety. Also would like to know which browswer the 'safe browser' is using. My previous internet security used my default browser but not sure about ESET. Thanks for any advice/recommendations.

Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted January 29, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2021 ESET uses the default system browser as a secure browser. If you are using Edge 88, redirection to the secure browser doesn't work currently and we recommend launching it via the desktop icon. No extra protection settings are needed, just make sure to enable LiveGrid reputation and feedback system during or after installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Valued Members Nightowl 202 Posted January 29, 2021 Most Valued Members Share Posted January 29, 2021 For my usage , I enable Unwanted Application detection and also the Unsafe Applications detections and then I could choose which to exclude from the detections as they help for extra protection To enable LiveGrid : https://support.eset.com/en/kb7109-enable-or-disable-eset-livegrid-in-windows-eset-home-products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enabling potential unwanted programs can be good but can confuse people. Basically these are for programs that aren't technically malware but might be risky e.g. they could come with other unwanted extras, might be from a company with bad rep etc. When enabled it comes down to user preference when something is flagged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend having it enabled anyways. But if something flags as potentially unwanted it technically isn't a virus. This link explains it kind of and in a basic way https://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/PUP It could simply be a program that comes bundled with an installer. Often though it's program that might have bad privacy policies and general bad practices. When it flags up its often up to the user to decide.
