Why Home Users in Uganda Need ESET
Home users in Uganda face the same cyber threats as businesses:
- Ransomware — Encrypts your personal files and demands payment
- Phishing — Steals your banking credentials and personal information
- Malware — Steals data, monitors activities, and damages systems
- Identity theft — Uses your personal information for fraud
- Cryptojacking — Uses your computer to mine cryptocurrency without your knowledge
Windows Defender provides basic protection, but ESET offers significantly better detection rates with minimal performance impact.
