Solution
Secure Browser is an additional layer of protection designed to protect your sensitive data while browsing online (for example, financial data during online transactions or confidential corporate data).
System Requirements
Supported browsers: Internet Explorer (8.0.0.0+), Microsoft Edge (83.0.0.0+), Google Chrome (64.0.0.0+) and Firefox (24.0.0.0+).
Known Issues
- Some earlier 64-bit versions of Chrome may not be supported – we recommend a later version of the browser.
- To ensure compatibility, the latest versions of browsers may not be supported on the initial release. If you have updated your browser to the latest version that is not supported, you can open and use the secured browser.
- A browser started from the Windows Metro environment is not supported.
- Windows XP x64 is not supported.
Enable the Secure Browser

Open the main program window of your ESET Endpoint Security.
-
When enabled, click Tools and click Secure Browser to open the Secure Browser.
