A system restart is required after installing ESET Security Ultimate, ESET Smart Security Premium or ESET Internet Security to allow the full functionality of the Safe Banking & Browsing feature. Using the secured browser without restarting will protect users from potential security risks, but it will not encrypt the data from keyloggers.
Safe Banking & Browsing ensures that all online transactions are protected in a trusted and secure environment.
ESET Security Ultimate, ESET Smart Security Premium and ESET Internet Security each contain a built-in list of pre-defined websites that will trigger the ESET-protected browser. The secured browser encrypts the communication between your keyboard and browser to provide additional security against keyloggers for banking transactions, credit card numbers, and other sensitive personal data.
