3. Beginner’s guide
This chapter provides an initial overview of ESET Smart Security and
its basic settings.
3.1 Introducing user interface design – modes
The main program window of ESET Smart Security is divided into two
main sections. The primary window on the right displays information
that corresponds to the option selected from the main menu on the
left.
The following is a description of options within the main menu:
Protection status – Provides information about the protection status
of ESET Smart Security. If Advanced mode is activated, the Watch
activity, Network connections and Statistics submenus will display.
Computer scan – Allows you to configure and launch an On‑demand
computer scan.
Update – Displays information about updates to the virus signature
database.
Setup – Select this option to adjust your computer’s security level. If
Advanced mode is activated, the Antivirus and antispyware, Personal
firewall, and Antispam module submenus will display.
Tools – Provides access to Log files, Quarantine, Scheduler and
SysInspector. This option only displays in Advanced mode.
Help and support – Provides access to help files, the ESET
Knowledgebase, ESET’s website and links to open a Customer Care
support request.
The ESET Smart Security user interface allows users to toggle between
Standard and Advanced mode. To toggle between modes, click
Change... in the bottom left corner of the main program window, or
press CTRL + M on your keyboard.
Standard mode provides access to features required for common
operations. It does not display any advanced options.
Toggling to Advanced mode adds the Tools option to the main menu.
The Tools option allows you to access the submenus for Log files,
Quarantine, Scheduler and SysInspector.
NOTE: All remaining instructions in this guide take place in Advanced
mode.
3.1.1 Checking operation of the system
To view the Protection status, click the top option from the main
menu. A status summary about the operation of ESET Smart Security
will display in the primary window, and a submenu with three items
will appear: Watch Activity, Network Connections and Statistics.
Select any of these to view more detailed information about your
system.
3.1.2 What to do if the program doesn’t work properly
If the protection modules are enabled and working properly, a green
check mark will display next to the name. If not, a red exclamation
point or orange notification icon will display, and additional
information about the module with a suggested solution will display
in the upper part of the window. To change the status of individual
modules, click Setup from the main menu and click the desired
module.
