Battle BitDefender Internet Security vs. ESET

[Mateotis]

Hello everyone!

I've recently upgraded from BD Free to IS. It's been very good so far, however I've noticed a decrease in my internet speed, which didn't occur with the free version. Looking at Task Manager, "BitDefender Security Service" sits on top of the memory usage. The frustrating thing is, I just cannot kill the process nor prevent it from starting with Windows, just for the testing purposes. Not even with msconfig.

I've been reading/hearing a lot of good things about ESET, one of them being its lightness.

So my question is, would it worth switching from BD to ESET?

BitDefender very heavy but Eset not and in my tests Eset is better and faster
