A system restart is required after installing ESET Internet Security or ESET Smart Security Premium to allow the full functionality of the Banking and Payment protection feature. Using the secured browser without restarting will protect users from potential security risks, but it will not encrypt the data from keyloggers.
Solution
Banking & Payment Protection ensures that all online transactions are protected in a trusted and secure environment.
ESET Internet Security and ESET Smart Security Premium 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
See ESET Online Help topic for supported browser information.
