Multi-layer protection for everyday life & family
ESET HOME Security Premium combines a lightweight, fast engine with deep protection layers for Windows, macOS and Android. Real-time protection stops malware, ransomware protection wards off extortion Trojans, and phishing protection blocks fake sites before credentials are entered. The secured browser isolates banking & shopping so transactions and card data remain protected even on compromised pages—all with very low system load, so work, gaming and streaming run undisturbed.
Premium means: firm control of data & passwords
With the password manager you generate strong, unique passwords, store them encrypted and autofill logins—on desktop and mobile. Secure Data adds data encryption for confidential folders and removable media (e.g., USB sticks), so contracts, scans or backups open only with the right key. ESET LiveGuard analyses suspicious files in a safe environment, while Folder Guard enforces targeted protection for selected directories against unauthorised changes.
Network, privacy & devices in view
The integrated firewall monitors inbound and outbound connections and helps block unwanted access. Network Inspector scans your home network, detects unknown devices and potential router weaknesses. Webcam protection prevents silent access to camera and microphone. For families, parental control offers content filters, time rules and location features; gamer mode suppresses pop-ups and saves resources as soon as full-screen apps are detected.

Central management – fewer clicks, more oversight

In everyday use you’ll receive alerts about blocked phishing attempts, outdated modules or due scans—without opening each PC or smartphone individually.
Practical setups for different users
- Remote workers: enable secured browser, tighten firewall profiles, set up the password manager with a strong master password; use Secure Data containers for project folders.
- Family household: parental control with age levels and time windows, Network Inspector for device inventory, webcam protection on all PCs.
- Gamers & streamers: switch on gamer mode, schedule scans overnight, set exclusions for trusted games/launchers.
Tips for the best start
Right after installation, link your account to ESET HOME, run Network Inspector across the Wi-Fi and name unknown devices. Enable the secured browser and set import rules in the password manager (e.g., from the browser). Encrypt key folders (finance, contracts, scans) with Secure Data; on laptops enable anti-theft and test location and lock features. This establishes a robust safety net—without daily extra work.
Performance & transparency
The engine is resource-friendly, updates are incremental and scan profiles can be finely tuned (e.g., quick smart scans during the day, deeper analyses off-hours). Logs and reports provide traceability: you can see when a threat was blocked, a certificate checked or a process isolated—useful for compliance and internal documentation.
Who is Premium for?
For users who, beyond classic antivirus for Windows and macOS, place special value on identity protection, secure online banking, password management and data encryption. Households with multiple devices benefit from central management; power users appreciate LiveGuard/Folder Guard and granular network controls.
Conclusion
ESET HOME Security Premium combines strong protection layers with practical convenience: secured browser, low system load, password manager and data encryption—plus LiveGuard, Folder Guard, firewall and Network Inspector. A well-rounded security solution for anyone who values security, privacy and usability in equal measure.
