Hello,

1 Although these programs contain the word 'Antivirus' in their name, this is strictly for marketing purposes because that's all most people know. They are actually anti-malware programs, and detect adware, agents, bootkits, droppers, injectors, password stealers, potentially unsafe applications, potentially unwanted applications, ransomware, rootkits, spyware, trojans, viruses and worms, just to name a few of the things caught by the software. Today, actual computer viruses account for less than 10% of malware detected on a day-to-day basis.
2 Also known as ESET LiveGrid (and previously called ThreatSense.Net), this provides real-time threat telemetry as well as assists in blocking certain kinds of malicious software such as ransomware, dangerous web sites, etc.
3 Prevents pop-ups and messages from being disabled while running full-screen applications. Called Gamer Mode in home versions and Presentation Mode in business versions.
4 Blocking of undesirable web sites. Called Parental Control in home versions and Web Control in business versions.

I'll point out that this is very much a 'best effort' by me, and it's possible I got some things wrong. Check with an actual ESET sales critter if you have a question about supported features.

'For some unknown reason, my Seagate external hard drive stopped working last week. Every time when I plug it into my laptop and try to open it, I get a popup box that says 'Location not available: G: is not accessible. Access is denied'. How do I fix the error? I am using Windows 10.'
