ESET Endpoint Antivirus 8 is a complete security solution produced from our long-term effort to combine maximum protection and a minimal system footprint. The advanced technologies, based on artificial intelligence, are capable of proactively eliminating infiltration by viruses, spyware, trojan horses, worms, adware, rootkits, and other Internet-borne attacks without hindering system performance or disrupting your computer.

ESET Endpoint Antivirus 8 is primarily designed for use on workstations in a small business environment.

In the Using ESET Endpoint Antivirus by itself section you can find help topics divided into several chapters and subchapters to provide orientation and context, including Download, Installation and Activation.

Using ESET Endpoint Antivirus with ESET PROTECT in an enterprise environment allows you to easily manage any number of client workstations, apply policies and rules, monitor detections and remotely configure clients from any networked computer.

The Common Questions chapter covers some of the most frequently asked questions and problems encountered.

Features and benefits

Redesigned user interface	The user interface in this version has been significantly redesigned and simplified based on the results of usability testing. All GUI wording and notifications have been carefully reviewed and the interface now provides support for right-to-left languages such as Hebrew and Arabic. Online Help is now integrated into ESET Endpoint Antivirus and offers dynamically updated support content.
Antivirus and antispyware	Proactively detects and cleans more known and unknown viruses, worms, trojans and rootkits. Advanced heuristics flags even never-before-seen malware, protecting you from unknown threats and neutralizing them before they can do any harm. Web access protection and Anti-Phishing works by monitoring communication between web browsers and remote servers (including SSL). Email client protection provides control of email communication received through the POP3(S) and IMAP(S) protocols.
Regular updates	Regularly updating the detection engine (previously known as "virus signature database") and program modules is the best way to ensure the maximum level of security on your computer.
ESET LiveGrid® (Cloud-powered Reputation)	You can check the reputation of running processes and files directly from ESET Endpoint Antivirus.
Remote management	ESET PROTECT or ESET Security Management Center allows you to manage ESET products on workstations, servers and mobile devices in a networked environment from one central location. Using the ESET Security Management Center Web Console (ESMC Web Console), you can deploy ESET solutions, manage tasks, enforce security policies, monitor system status and quickly respond to problems or threats on remote computers.
Network attack protection	Analyses the content of network traffic and protects from network attacks. Any traffic which is considered harmful will be blocked.
Web control (ESET Endpoint Security only)	Web control lets you block webpages that may contain potentially offensive material. In addition, employers or system administrators can prohibit access to more than 27 pre-defined website categories and over 140 subcategories.
