Banking & Payment Protection opens a protected browser for online banking and payment sessions. ESET Internet Security also combines anti-phishing protection with firewall controls and real-time malware detection.
Banking & Payment Protection
The protected browser creates a separate environment for financial websites. Use it when signing in to a bank or completing an online payment to add protection to the browsing session. The feature is designed to reduce exposure to threats that target banking activity, including attempts to capture sensitive information.
This mode fits into a familiar workflow: open the protected browser, visit the financial site, and handle the transaction there. It is distinct from the program’s general web protection, which focuses on suspicious pages and links.
Firewall controls
ESET Internet Security’s firewall monitors network communications and gives you controls over traffic. Its settings let you manage how the PC handles network connections, which is useful when an application’s access needs attention or a network rule needs adjustment.
The firewall works alongside the program’s malware protection: one watches network activity, while the other checks for malicious software.
Phishing and malware protection
Anti-phishing protection is aimed at websites that imitate trusted services to steal login details or other personal information. When browsing, the protection can block access to suspicious pages. Real-time malware detection checks files and activity for threats, while on-demand scans let you start a check of the PC when needed.
The main status view brings security controls and scan access together, so users can see protection status and start a scan without navigating through separate Windows tools. Firewall options and scan results provide more detail for people who want to manage settings or understand what the program detected.
