Email client protection provides control of email communications received through POP3 and IMAP protocol. Using
the plug-in program for your email client, ESET Smart Security provides control of all communications to and from
your email client (POP3, MAPI, IMAP, HTTP).
Anti-Phishing protection allows you to block web pages known to distribute phishing content. We strongly
recommend that you leave Anti-Phishing enabled.
