[QUOTE="CyberDevil, post: 1087753, member: 91290"] Honestly, maybe I love Eset too much. But this topic causes me some incredible bewilderment. Eset is probably the most uncluttered antivirus on the market, except for solutions that include no web protection, no firewall, nothing at all, like Ikarus. And may be only Webroot can be noticeably (to the human eye) lighter than Eset. The author writes about unnecessary features like anti-theft, but it is disabled by default, as well as password manager, as well as device control ... Camera control - yes, there is, but just disable it if it gets in the way. False positives surprise me too. I haven't seen a single one in the last year, even though I have a lot of special development software installed, as well as a lot of repacks (hacked software) ... Even according to official tests, Eset has long been consistently in the lead in terms of no false detections. Especially with default settings, if you don't increase the detection level, which I generally recommend and always do. In any case, if there are problems, they are usually solved in Eset by simply opening the settings and reading the help pop-up windows. You can disable archive scanning, lower the detection level for PUPs, as well as disable QUIC scanning, disable camera protection, and if you really want to, disable scanning of files at startup (they are scanned at creation anyway, so it makes little sense), as well as scanning of network and connected devices. I believe in this configuration Eset will almost never show false positives. Although, in my opinion, this is too weak a setting. I have almost everything set to maximum and I still don't see them. [ATTACH type="full" width="572px"]283500[/ATTACH] I don't believe in magic. Even if they were able to do some incredible optimizations, Bitdefender inside + their engine is already harder than the average other AV. :) [/QUOTE]
