[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 819565, member: 53544"] Let's start with the fact that, sooner or later, all antivirus will fail against a sample. And we here at MT know, when that happens, and the final user sees a video with X Antivirus that ended up with the files encrypted, will automatically claim the product sucks. We see it everyday (i'm not saying it's the case now, just using an example). Having said that, I don't find ESET default settings to be "weak" in a direct way. For an ordinary user, default ESET will be decent, since it has a great web protection + one of the best signature databases, which is actually very quick to new malware and will almost get you thinking it caught it with a behaviour blocker. Now, when these "tests" are made for Youtube, where usually hundreds or even thousands of files are thrown, default ESET will suck, most probably. Taken to extreme scenarios, default ESET isn't great. Because default ESET is meant for ordinary final users. Bussiness, or usually-targeted users, will not be "safe" with default ESET. But for those cases, ESET offers a great variety of options to make out of it one of the most solid products on the internet. Grab a copy and install it on your main PC. Build your browser with an adblocker, a script blocker and tweak the basic hardening components of Windows. ESET will cover everything even in default without you even having to worry. And you won't need a behaviour blocker, because it can handle it the way it is. With its HIPS on smart mode, and an interactive firewall. ESET works. It's light, it's not intrusive, it's efficient. Little people I know that ended up infected using ESET when it wasn't intentionally for an "educational Youtube video". Focus on results, don't focus on online tests made for money or views. Install the program, use it a few weeks or months. See the results. Don't throw garbe files to it and check the detection ratio. Don't expect a product to work on unusual conditions, such as a malware-prepared or malware-bundled virtual machine. [/QUOTE]
