Integration With Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, And Windows Mail; Appending Tag Messages To Email Body; Removing Infiltrations; Web Access Protection - ESET SMART SECURITY User Manual

However, the risk of infection increases with this level of control.
The level of cleaning and the handling of tag messages (notification
alerts which are appended to the subject line and body of emails) is
identical to the maximum efficiency setting.
With the Maximum compatibility level, the user is warned by an
alert window which reports the receipt of an infected message.
No information about infected files is added to the subject line or
to the email body of delivered messages and infiltrations are not
automatically removed. Deleting infiltrations must be performed by
the user from the email client.
4.1.2.2 Integration with Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express,
and Windows Mail
Integration of ESET Smart Security with email clients increases the
level of active protection against malicious code in email messages.
If your email client is supported, this integration can be enabled
in ESET Smart Security. If integration is activated, the ESET Smart
Security Antispam toolbar is inserted directly into the email client,
allowing for more efficient email protection. The integration settings
are available through Setup > Enter entire advanced setup tree... >
Miscellaneous >Email client integration. This dialog window allows
you to activate integration with the supported email clients. Email
clients which are currently supported include Microsoft Outlook,
Outlook Express and Windows Mail.
Email protection is started by the activation of the Enable email
protection check box in Advanced Setup (F5) > Antivirus and
antispyware > Email protection.

Appending tag messages to email body

Each email controlled by ESET Smart Security can be marked by
appending a tag message to the subject or email body. This feature
increases the level of credibility for the addressee and if an infiltration
is detected, it provides valuable information about the threat level of a
given email/sender.
The options for this functionality are available through Advanced
setup > Antivirus and antispyware protection > Email protection.
The program can Append tag messages to received and read mail,
as well as Append tag messages to sent mail. Users also have the
ability to decide whether tag messages should be appended to all
email, to infected email only, or not at all. ESET Smart Security also
allows the user to append messages to the original subject of infected
messages. To enable appending to the subject, select the options
Append note to the subject of received and read infected email
and Append note to the subject of sent infected email.
The content of the notifications can be modified in the Template
field added to the subject of infected email. The above‑mentioned
modifications can help to automate the process of filtering infected
email, as it allows you to filter email with a specific subject (if
supported in your email client) to a separate folder.
4.1.2.3

Removing infiltrations

If an infected email message is received, an alert window is displayed.
The alert window shows the sender name, the email, and name of
the infiltration. In the lower part of the window, the options Clean,
Delete or Leave are available for the detected object. In almost all
cases, we recommend that you select either Clean or Delete. In
special situations, when you wish to receive the infected file, select
Leave. If Strict cleaning is enabled, an information window with no
options available for infected objects is displayed.
4.1.3

Web access protection

Internet connectivity is a standard feature in a personal computer.
Unfortunately, it has also become the main medium for transferring
malicious code. Because of this, it is essential that you carefully
consider your Web access protection. We strong recommend that
the Enable web access protection option is activated. This option
is located in Advanced Setup (F5) > Antivirus and antispyware
protection > Web access protection.

HTTP

Web access protection's primary function is to monitor the
communication between Internet browsers and remote servers,
according to the rules of the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)
protocol. ESET Smart Security is by default configured to use the HTTP
standards of most Internet browsers. However, the HTTP checking
