One important principle in spam detection is the ability to recognize

unsolicited email based on predeﬁned trusted addresses (whitelist)

and spam addresses (blacklist). All addresses from your contact list

are automatically added to the whitelist, as well as all other addresses

you mark as safe.

The primary method used to detect spam is the scanning of email

message properties. Received messages are scanned for basic

Antispam criteria (message deﬁnitions, statistical heuristics,

recognizing algorithms and other unique methods) and the resulting

index value determines whether a message is spam or not.

ESET Smart Security 4 supports Antispam protection for Microsoft

Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail and

Mozilla Thunderbird.

4.3.1 Self‑learning Antispam

Self‑learning Antispam is related to the Bayesian ﬁlter. By marking

messages as spam and not spam, you create a database of words

used in spam and not spam messages. The more messages classiﬁed

(marked as spam or not spam), the more accurate the Bayesian ﬁlter

will be. Add known email addresses to the whitelist to exclude them

from ﬁltering.

4.3.1.1 Adding addresses to whitelist and blacklist

Email addresses belonging to people you communicate with

frequently can be added to the whitelist to ensure that no message

originating from a whitelist address is ever classiﬁed as spam. Known

spam addresses can be added to the blacklist and always be classiﬁed

as spam. To add a new address to the whitelist or blacklist, right‑click

the email and select ESET Smart Security > Add to Whitelist or Add

to Blacklist, or click the Trusted address or Spam address button in

the ESET Smart Security Antispam toolbar in your email program.

Similarly, this process applies to spam addresses. If an email address

is listed on the blacklist, each email message which arrives from that

address is classiﬁed as spam.

4.3.1.2 Marking messages as spam

Any message viewed in your email client can be marked as spam.

To do so, right‑click the message and click ESET Smart Security >

Reclassify selected messages as spam, or click Spam address in the

ESET Smart Security Antispam toolbar located in the upper section of

your email client.

Reclassiﬁed messages are automatically moved to the SPAM

folder, but the sender email address is not added to the Blacklist.

Similarly, messages can be classiﬁed as “not spam”. If messages from

the Junk E‑mail folder are classiﬁed as not spam, they are moved

to their original folder. Marking a message as not spam does not

automatically add the sender address to the Whitelist.

4.4 Updating the program

Regular updating of ESET Smart Security is the basic premise for

obtaining the maximum level of security. The Update module ensures

that the program is always up to date in two ways – by updating the

virus signature database and by updating system components.

By clicking Update from the main menu, you can ﬁnd the current

update status, including the date and time of the last successful

update and if an update is needed. The primary window also contains

the virus signature database version. This numeric indicator is an

active link to ESET’s website, listing all signatures added within the

given update.

In addition, the option to manually begin the update process – Update

virus signature database – is available, as well as basic update setup

options such as the username and password to access ESET’s update

servers.

Use the Product activation link to open a registration form that will

activate your ESET security product and send you an email with your

authentication data (username and password).

NOTE: The username and password are provided by ESET after
