New Security Suite for Home Server
Well we have a new Security Suite for your Home server which is a beta release. Eset Smart Security from the guys who make Nod32, so you know it will have a good viral detection rate and it’s light on resources too.
ESET Smart Security is an integrated security solution containing Antivius, Anrtispyware a Personal Firewall and Antispam functionality as well.
Antivirus & Antispyware
- Intelligent cleaning without the need of user’s action
- Scanning on background saves system resources
- Smaller update size – faster updates on slow connections
Personal Firewall
- Monitoring and scanning of executable files
- Integrated antivirus & antispyware scanning of all network traffic
- Intrusion detection system – detects and block various types of network attacks
- Works completely automatically or uses user created rules
Antispam
- Very high effectiveness thanks to multiple filtering techniques applied together – signature base filtering as well as Bayesian analysis
- Custom rule sets – white and black listing
- Very low false positive rate
Download ESET Smart Security BETA 1b. The official release date should be sometime in Sep/Oct 2007. More Information and a Changelog are also available.
Note: On the firewall use interactive mode so you can open the ports which Windows Home Server needs.

Philip,
We now realize the issues ESET’s NOD32 AMON service caused with the shared folders on WHS. Is this new product a dedicated product FOR WHS? (I did not see it mentioned) Or is this just another version of NOD32?

Hi TheJudge,
This new suite is not a dedicated product for WHS. I am currently testing it and will post my findings soon.
