2. Installation
Before you begin the installation process, please close
all open programs on your computer. ESET
Cybersecurity contains components that may conflict
with other antivirus programs that may already be
installed on your computer. ESET strongly
recommends that you remove any other program to
prevent potential problems. You can install ESET
Cybersecurity from an installation CD or from a file
available on the ESET website.
To launch the installer wizard, do one of the following:
If you are installing from the installation CD, insert
the CD into the CD-ROM drive. Double-click on the
ESET Cybersecurity installation icon to launch the
installer.
If you are installing from a downloaded file, double-
click the file you downloaded to launch the installer.
Launch the installer and the installation wizard will
guide you through the basic setup. After agreeing to
the End User License Agreement, you can choose from
the following installation types:
Typical installation
Custom installation
2.1 Typical installation
Typical installation includes the configuration options
that are appropriate for most users. The settings
provide maximum security combined with excellent
system performance. Typical installation is the default
option and is recommended if you do not have
particular requirements for specific settings.
The
ThreatSense.Net Early Warning System
helps
ensure that ESET is immediately and continuously
informed of new infiltrations in order to quickly
protect our customers. The system allows for
submission of new threats to ESET Threat Lab, where
they are analyzed, processed and added to the virus
signature database. By default, the
Enable
ThreatSense.Net Early Warning System
option is
selected. Click
Setup...
to modify detailed settings for
the submission of suspicious files. (For more
information see
ThreatSense.Net
).
The next step in the installation process is to configure
Detection of potentially unwanted applications.
Potentially unwanted applications are not necessarily
malicious, but can often negatively affect the behavior
of your operating system. These applications are often
bundled with other programs and may be difficult to
notice during the installation process. Although these
applications usually display a notification during
installation, they can easily be installed without your
consent. Select the
Enable detection of potentially
unwanted applications
option to allow ESET
Cybersecurity to detect this type of threat
(recommended). If you do not wish to Enable this
feature, select the
Disable detection of potentially
unwanted applications
option.
The final step in Typical installation mode is to confirm
installation by clicking the
Install
button.
2.2 Custom installation
Custom installation is designed for experienced users
who wish to modify advanced settings during the
installation process.
If you are using a proxy server you can define its
parameters now by selecting the
I use a proxy server
option. Enter the IP address or URL of your proxy
server in the
Address
field. In the Port field, specify the
port where the proxy server accepts connections (3128
by default). In the event that the proxy server requires
authentication, enter a valid
Username
and
Password
to grant access to the proxy server. If you are sure that
no proxy server is used, choose the
I do not use a
proxy server
option.If you are not sure, you can use
your current system settings by selecting
Use system
settings (Recommended)
.
In the next step you can
Define privileged users
that
will be able to edit the program configuration. From
the list of users on the left side, select the users and
Add
them to the
Privileged Users
list. To display all
system users, select the
Show all users
option.
