Banking & Payment protection
Banking & Payment protection is an additional layer of protection designed to protect your financial data during online transactions.
By default, all supported web browsers start in a secure mode. This enables you to browse the internet, access internet banking, and make online purchases and transactions in one secured browser window without redirection.
ESET LiveGrid® reputation system must be enabled (enabled by default) to ensure that Banking & Payment protection works properly. |
Choose one of the following secured browser behavior configuration options:
•Secure all browsers (default)—All supported web browsers start in a secure mode. This enables you to browse the internet, access internet banking, and make online purchases and transactions in one secured browser window without redirection.
•Websites redirection—Websites from a protected websites list and internal internet banking list redirect to the secured browser. You can select which browser (standard or secured) is opened.
Websites redirection is not available for devices with ARM processors. |
•Both previous options are disabled—To access the secured browser, in the main program window > Overview, click Banking & Payment protection or click the Banking & Payment protection desktop icon. The browser, set as default in Windows, launches in a secure mode.
To configure the secured browser behavior, see Banking & Payment protection advanced setup. To enable the Secure all browsers feature in the ESET Smart Security Premium, click Setup > Security tools and enable the Secure all browsers slider bar.
The use of HTTPS encrypted communication is necessary to perform protected browsing. The following browsers support Banking & Payment protection:
•Internet Explorer 8.0.0.0+
•Microsoft Edge 83.0.0.0+
