This is official description

ESET Smart Security integrates powerful antimalware scanner, a two-way firewall and intelligent antispam to effectively eliminate all types of security threats. ESET Smart Security combines multiple layers of protection to proactively detect and eliminate all dangers lurking in cyberspace
 
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 4.0

ESET Smart Security is a powerful security tool that can save your PC from virus, online threats and spam. The program creates a security wall on every side of your operating system using its powerful Firewall, Antispam module and Antispyware to provide complete protection from every source of virus.

The program offers two user modes, advanced and standard. Using the Advanced mode, you can configure every small thing of the antivirus, firewall and email scanner. But in the Standard mode, most of the processes are automated. You can also customize the alerts and actions for the infected emails or block web pages you don’t want to be accessed using your PC. The antivirus integrates into the Windows right-click menu and enables you to scan any file or document in two clicks.

The rest of the features like Quarantine, Scheduler, Exclusions and powerful real time virus scanner are simplified for the novice. A brand new feature called ThreatSense.Net is also supported that informs you about the latest viruses and threats.

Shortly speaking, ESET Smart Security is an advanced antivirus and security tool designed to keep your PC and data safe from virus and spyware with very user friendly interface.
  • A complete security solution with Email scanner, Firewall, Antivirus and rootkit scanner.

Hi,
I have had lots of problems with the ESET Firewall - both Versions 3 and 4.
I think there is a fundamental problem that ESET has not yet solved. The result is that Internet access is blocked or intermittent. Whilst the virus side of the product is fine, I have had to use the Vista Firewall and abandon ESET.
There is more detail at:

Best of all, it doesn't have even 1% resource usage, and the real time scanning catches viruses so fast that they can't escape !!!
