Hello guys,


I need new security pack for my pc. I'm looking for something light because I'm a gamer and I care about this.


Using only original games from Steam and Origin. On my computer is Windows 8.1 64x and Firefox 34.0 with NoScript and Adblock.


sorry for my bad english :(

Agreed, Emsisoft has a reputation for outstanding protection. It can be considered "light" when compared to with other choices even heavier on resources which is good to know as I shall be moving from ESET NOD 32 to Emsisoft IS on our Windows 7 in February, when ESET's subscription ends.;) (edit: ESET NOD 32 is even lighter, it has no parental controls or extra firewall,o_O + your Windows Firewall will give you good protection!:cool:)

Antun1, your English is good!:)

MT is already brimming with answers to your question. I modestly suggest you to search through the posts in forum and Virus Exchange section (That's what I usually do before asking ;)).

Anyway, it's good that you posted one more valuable question to this forum. :)

In my opinion ESET is better for your needs (Gaming) and it is less intrusive too.

I would like to say something on your English (I hope you don't mind me saying so):
Your English is good and I wouldn't worry much about it If you are not a native English Speaker. (I am also not a native English speaker.)

I read it somewhere that:
Don’t say: “Sorry for my bad English” (this is more discouraging for yourself to say or write)

Say: “English isn’t my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.” (This will not discourage you much to write or say).

have a good time here on MT ! :)

You read my mind. :) I too was replying regarding @Antun1 's English but in the interim you posted it. :)

I have noticed that NoScript alone has the ability to block most of the Ads (in fact almost all Ads). I use only NoScript and satisfied so far.I read that Adblock is the reason for FF using much RAM. For me NoScript is serving my needs of hassle free web browsing. :).

Test yourself. :)

@Antun1 Which security products have you previously used, and why have you narrowed it down to Emsisoft and ESET?

I used before Norton Internet Security 2014, my license has already ended :(


I tested both programs, but don't know what to choose. In my opinion, ESET is lighter. However, I don't know how the level of protection.

Given the two options, I would chose Emsisoft for two things:

  1. Behavior Blocker

  2. Lightness

Yes, I've said it. In my opinion Emsisoft can be lighter than ESET if the file guard is set to scan on execution only, though I would prefer to run Anti-Malware over Internet Security for lightness.
