A system restart is required after installing ESET Security Ultimate, ESET Smart Security Premium, ESET Internet Security, or ESET Small Business 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.
Solution
Safe Banking & Browsing ensures that all online transactions are protected in a trusted and secure environment.
ESET Security Ultimate, ESET Smart Security Premium, ESET Internet Security, and ESET Small Business 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.
System Requirements
