Editor's Gold Rating
No. ESET is famous for its small system footprint. It uses minimal resources, making it ideal for both high-end gaming rigs and older laptops. Our tests showed less than 1% CPU impact during normal background operation.
Yes, via the **ESET HOME** portal. You can view security status, manage licenses, and activate features like Parental Control or Anti-Theft for all connected Windows, Mac, and Android devices from a single web browser or mobile app.
