What threats does real-time protection cover?
ESET monitors for malware as files are accessed and as you browse or download. Its antivirus protection covers ransomware and spyware as well as other malicious software, while anti-phishing protection targets deceptive sites that try to steal personal or payment information.
The software is intended to work in the background and surface alerts when it detects something that needs attention. You can open the program to manage protection settings or start a scan.
