Battle CIS or ESET SS7 or KAV+CFW or Emsisoft AM+ CFW

[Arpith]

Hi..I came from bitdefender total security and I am glad I did.
I installed kaspersky internet security 2014 and right now facing some major bug in its firewall..The firewall cannot block application from connection to the internet..
So right now I have decided to change my PC security and need experts advice
so my options are
ESET Smart Security 7
or
Comodo Internet Security
or
Kaspersky Antivirus with Comodo Firewall
or
Emsisoft Antimalware 8 with Comodo Firewall

btw I am on Windows 8.1 update 1 Pro..
I will be using Malwarebytes anti malware premium along with my main security software

Any help is really appreciated

Thank You

Until you get infected!

lol.. i normally visit very selected sites everyday..download torrents from well known uploaders..but I havent been infected in ages..or my previous bitdefender was weak??
dunno if its my AV problem or I am just too safe..
sometimes we feel safe if AV catches something...atleast we know it is working!!

Definitely ESET Smart Security..

Just to try I installed EIS... I am very happy with it..especially with OA firewall..it is just the way i wanted..EAM gave 2 false positive to well known application but I can manage..

Edit: figured it out..but looks temporary..any help?

one Q...if you dont get any alerts by your security suite for many weeks, does that mean your AV protection is quite strong or your AV wasnt able to catch them and there might be some malware hidden inside..sending ketstrokes or login details secretely..? Just a question..

To get alerts you have to execute unknown files if not you can wait very long ^^

ESET Smart Security!

After testing EIS for 2 days I have noticed significant system slow down...whether it is boot up time or dealing with windows explorer. explorer takes some seconds to open..hard drive seems to be busy ...looks like my system is not liking the new antibiotics..

So Try ESET Smart Security 7.
I am using ESET Smart Security from many years & Slow Down from ESET is like a impossible thing.

Uninstalled EIS and installed ESET SS 7...so far I am happy...seems lighter than EIS or kaspersky..but couldnt find setting for preventing auto quarentine..

I'm an MSE user, it has been doing a very good job, 4.5 years 2 infection on 8 pc's it's osem for me
I've been using ESET IS (hate firewalls) for the last 2 month and made a lot of test, what I found that its web filter is just amazing, it's blocking around 95% of all infected web url's in zero day. however it has some false positive
as for detecting rate from what i've seen in this forum it's on the top 3 along with emisoft and 360 is

Really ESET itself decide which file to quarantine, if you do not want the files to auto quarantine

Spoiler

1. Open ESET UI
2. Press F5
3. Than RealTime Protection
4. Setup
5. Cleaning
6. Rest see the Image.

Thanks for this..really helpful

Thanks for this..really helpful

You are welcome,
I would suggest you to Enable detection Potentially Unwanted & Unsafe Application in ESET, This will Increase zero-day protection & ESET's PUP detection is awesome which blocks most of Adwares.

Have Fun, If you need any help related ESET you are always welcome, My Experience with ESET might be usefull to you.

Emsisoft Anti-Malware with Comodo Firewall is the best choice
