Battle Mcafee Total or Eset Internet Security

[KonradPL]

Hi

Best possible protection with lightness - multi device license for windows and android
Which one would be a better choice?

 

[peterfat11]

eset

I think Eset is better. But, it needs to be configured for better results. You can use these two guides:

[KB6119] Configure HIPS rules for ESET business products to protect against ransomware

support.eset.com

[KB6132] Configure firewall rules for ESET Endpoint Security to protect against ransomware

support.eset.com

Also make a rule to protect directories with important documents, it's not difficult:

Hips Configuration

Dear Eset, I suggest ESET internet security to all my clients and most of them are satisfied with its speed and stability. As an extra safety measure i would like to create a HIPS rule to prevent files being modified/encrypted in selected folders/partitions. The rule should allow only the trusted...

You can also increase the detection levels in the settings, enable advanced heuristics, and optionally enable telemetry to help everyone else.

Both are light solutions. You should install their trial version for an advanced test on your system

Eset Internet Security​

Eset

Out of these two, ESET in terms of protection, performance, configurability, less false positives. McAfee is cheaper though and I think they offer unlimited devices with their license.

enable advanced heuristics

Actually, you don't need to enable this particular feature for real-time protection. By default, advanced heuristics are automatically applied when a file is executed and manually scanned. Enabling it for the on-access scan may reduce performance though I have never faced any performance issue.

Eset. ✌

 

[Pat MacKnife]

McAfee Total

 

[Andrew999]

Eset for sure.

 

[Minimalist]

I would go with ESET.

 

[Anthony Qian]

ESET for sure, especially when compared to McAfee Consumer Products (McAfee Enterprise Solutions give you more protection against ransomware).

 

[jerzy601]

Actually, both programs are noteworthy.
In terms of protection, ESET.
However, McAfee is cheaper and has more possibilities if it has licenses.
It has more functions.

 

[Vitali Ortzi]

Hmm I can’t say for certain as macaffe improved a lot but I will vote for eset anyway

McAfee Better in last test AV-TEST June 2021

Eset

ESET for sure, especially when compared to McAfee Consumer Products (McAfee Enterprise Solutions give you more protection against ransomware).

I‘m testing McAfee now and my position has changed. I would say it has been improved a lot. I'm quite impressed with McAfee's Real Protect technology as it can effectively block never-before-seen threats and roll back the damage they cause. However, Artemis is still prone to producing false positives.

I will answer objectively.

McAfee : Good web filtering, very good AI (Artemis / JTI) but lagging behind in malware detection, no defense against unknown malware and very very heavy !

Eset: Very high malware detection (much more than McAfee), very light, Machine Learning AI that is improving.

=> ESET

very good AI (Artemis / JTI)

I don't think Artemis and JTI are AI-powered.

no defense against unknown malware

It is not true.

very very heavy

It is not true. McAfee consumer products only scan files when they are accessed.

1. Yes

McAfee Support – The Page You Are Looking for Has Been Moved

kc.mcafee.com

2. Sorry but if... If McAfee doesn't know about a threat, the file passes without reaction.....

3. I was mainly talking about its memory and CPU consumption that I could see on Virtual Machine
