Minimal modules installation

To reduce network traffic related to the size of the installer and save resources, ESET product comes with a minimal modules installer. The installer contains only essential modules, and all other modules will download during the initial module update after product activation. The main advantage is to have a significantly smaller installer, and ESET Endpoint Security downloads only the latest application modules when you activate the product.

The minimal module installer still contains the following modules:

  • Loaders
  • Direct Cloud communication
  • Translation support
  • Configuration
  • SSL

After the product activation, you will see the Initializing protection status that informs you about features initializing.
