ESET Smart Security Installation

Since ESET Smart Security contains antivirus and firewall components, we strongly recommend that you remove any other antivirus programs or firewall you might have installed on your computer to prevent mutual conflicts. You do not need to disable or remove the Windows firewall in Windows XP or Vista, as this is automatically handled by the ESET Smart Security installer. To take full advantage of the ESET Smart Security system, you will need an Internet connection during the installation process.
