Netbook Security:

For Netbooks

Netbooks are susceptible to security risks when using unsecured Wi-Fi hotspots on-the-go, especially if you use them for online surfing, shopping, and banking. Running an effective and proactive antimalware program on your netbook is critical to keeping your identity and data safe from hackers and thieves. Yet, with limited battery life and smaller memory, you need a security solution that keeps you safe without slowing you down.

ESET features a new automatic energy-sipping battery mode for netbooks that lets you work or play longer by consuming fewer resources, and can be further optimized to run fewer functions in the background.

Our firewall’s Learning Mode intelligently observes your network usage to help you save time by creating firewall rules. Now you can even pair a firewall profile with a network, so appropriate firewall rules are applied automatically whether you are working from your home network, a public Wi-Fi hotspot or your office network.

For Nettops

Nettops are exposed to the same threats as regular PCs, yet are restrained by more limited processing power and memory. Because energy and space efficiencies are an important part of nettop design, ESET security products help reduce processing power and memory use, so you can do what you want without experiencing slowdowns.
