In terms of ease of use, Eset works much more as a fire and forget single setup software that requires very little – if any – user input after you have installed and configured the software and works very well for any person or business that wants antivirus software that is innocuous and runs almost totally unnoticed. Kaspersky can be set up to also have a low-grade influence, but it is often such a noticeable power drain while it is running that it will still be felt even if it is not directly asking for user input. This again shows Kaspersky’s devotion to more powerful corporate machines rather than those in the homes of basic users.
In terms of service and prevention, Kaspersky vs. Eset uses two very different ideological approaches. Kaspersky uses a database provided by users that stores information on browsing habits and potential infections. Eset employs a detection system that identifies potential threats based on file behavior rather than user history. Both have dedicated service and system revival services in the event of an infection, so while they may use different approaches, both are immensely dedicated to accomplishing complete security.
The question of which antivirus software between Kaspersky vs. Eset will accomplish the required tasks depends entirely on your needs. Both will give you outstanding protection against virus invasions, spyware, adware, Trojans, phishing and hacker attacks. Kaspersky will work better for more powerful machines that can offer the extensive power necessary to run the software, as well as a slightly more complicated setup, while Eset offers similar protection that is not as heavily customizable, but uses much smaller amounts of processing power to provide antivirus protection.
