for Mac

ESETCybersecurity provides state-of-the-art protection for your computer against

malicious code. Based on the ThreatSense® scanning engine ﬁrst introduced in the

award-winning NOD32 antivirus system, ESETCybersecurity continues to deliver

unprecedented protection against zero-day threats, without the need for constant

signature updates to recognize the threats. This manual will guide you step-by-step

through the quick setup and conﬁguration of the product.

Antispyware: Protects you from hidden

backdoors, downloaders, exploits, crackers,

hijackers, password stealers, key loggers

andproxies.

Antivirus: Proactively detects and disables

more known and even unknown new

malware threats than any other security

product.

Protection status informs you about the current

protection level of your computer and security.

A computer scan is an important part of each

antivirus solution. It is used to perform ascan of the

ﬁles and folders onyour computer’s disk(s).

The Update section contains important information

about the program updates. It is vitally important

for the program toupdate regularly to provide the

maximum level of protection against thelatest

threats.

Setup options allow you to adjust the protection levels

ofyour computer.

The Tools section, available in extended mode, allows

you to enter advanced features: log ﬁles, quarantine and

scheduler.

Starting

• Click on the ESETCybersecurity

icon located in your menu bar

top of the screen and choose

Openwindow.

For maximum protection, it is

important to use the latest build

of ESET Cybersecurity. To check for

anew version, click Update from

the main menu on the left. If a new

build is available, a message that says

“Anew version of ESET Cybersecurity

bottom of the window. Click Learn

more… to display a new window

containing the version number of the

new build and the list of changes in the

new installation. It is recommended

to check for upgrades regularly, and

especially after a recent installation.

Entering Username and Password for update

If you purchased ESET Cybersecurity

online, you must enter the username

and password you received with your

license email. You will also need to

enter the username and password if

you are renewing or reinstalling the

software.

In the left pane of the

ESETCybersecurity screen, select

Update and then click Username and

password setup… on the right.

Enter the username and password to

the appropriate ﬁelds and click OK to

are both case sensitive. Enter them

carefully and precisely. Copying and

pasting from the license email is

recommended.

Your username and password must be

correctly entered to receive updates

and ensure that your computer is

continually protected against newly

emerging threats.

Update

By default, ESETCybersecurity is

set to receive regular updates once

every  minutes. If you entered

your username and password after

the installation and no update has

been performed yet, we recommend

starting the update manually:

•

Select Update in the left pane of the

main ESETCybersecurity screen

•

Click Update virus signature

database

The update module will connect to the

Internet, contact an available ESET

update server and download digitally

signed update ﬁles, which contain the

most recent malware signatures as

well as new deﬁnitions for advanced

heuristics and other program modules.

As soon as a newer update has been

installed, ESETCybersecurity displays

the new version of the virus signature

database in the Mac OS menu bar.

Computer scanning

After successful installation and

update, we recommend that you

perform a complete computer scan

to check for existing threats. To do

this, click Computer scan in the main

ESETCybersecurity screen and select

Smart scan. ESETCybersecurity will

begin scanning all local hard drives. As

long as the scan continues, the status

window shows the progress bar as

well as the current statistics about

scanned and infected ﬁles found. Ifa

threat is detected, ESET Cybersecurity

will quarantine the ﬁle and display an

alert. You should be able to continue

working as normal while the scan

takes place.

Protection Status indication

ESET Cybersecurity’s current

protection status is indicated in the

following ways:

• The menu bar icon

• A report in the Protection status

window

In the event that any protection

module is disabled, the Protection

status window will show the name of

the disabled module, along with a link

allowing you to reenable it.

The individual protection statuses are

indicated by  colors:

green  Antivirus protection is

working properly; your computer is

protected against malicious software

and network attacks. This status

indicates that all protection modules

are enabled and the virus signature

database is uptodate.

yellow  Realtime ﬁle system

protection is enabled, but the

maximum level of protection is not

ensured. The yellow icon is displayed

if ESET Cybersecurity requires your

attention.

red – The Realtime ﬁlesystem

protection is disabled. Since the proper

functioning of these modules is vital to

your system’s security, we recommend

enabling the inactive module

immediately.
