Good to see you keep your browser updated! Good antivirus and firewall as well. Only thing I could suggest if you're looking for an improvement would be an on-demand scanner. I doubt anything will get through Eset but Malwarebytes' is one I personally recommend.

Missed some malware, which malwarebytes detected them and removed them successfully.
I did a quick scan and full scan with ESET and didn't detect these malware. Just did only a quick scan with malwarebytes found some malware and deleted them successfully. also ESET caused some lags for games.
I find that Avast Free + Malwarebytes + Windows Firewall is enough to protect me

If ESET caused issues for gaming then I agree on removing or re-tweaking ESET.

But removing ESET because it missed malware is one of the worst excuses. Everybody knows no AV can remove all the malware from a malware pack, ITW or random samples.

I would keep Malwarebytes' as an on-demand scanner as it doesn't add much benefit when using a real Antivirus.

Well, also I inserted an infected USB and scanned it with ESET. it detected the malware but while removing it gives an error saying "Error while deleting". That happened with me while I was using the last version (ESET Smart Security 6). besides this it caused a lag while playing.

Just out of curiosity : why did you remove avast and replaced it for comodo internet security?

I have eset smart security installed currently and It it true , that the suite uses a lot of ram , but strangely enough it does not affect my machine : playing games , surfing , boottime and other activities....I am very , very pleased with the program so far!

CIS offers much better protection than avast, but then CIS is a suite.

in fact, CIS is also much better than Avast IS

Avast is soo stupid, It detected a file (I'm really sure its a false positive) every time I try to open the game it removes the dll file although I added the file to exclusion list (on real-time protection's list and all scans) and avast still removes it. this isn't the first time avast do stupid things like this with me.

Whatever. The problem is I added the file to exclusion but avast still detects and removes it.
