ahhhh mann...you made a great choice, simply because I have been using it since version 6 (Which is not that long ago) and I never felt protected that much in my life. Even though I am smart when surfing the web and I know which is bad and good, but its the point were I get alerts like crazy when it comes to watching mlb games or nba games or any other shows on my laptop at websites were they keep throwing you garbage pop ups or even downloads that download automatically without my permission.
I honestly could keep talking about it until you get tired of hearing about eset and end up switching to a different antivirus!lol
But being serious right now, it really depends on how you surf the web becuase no matter which antivirus you get, you will get infected. Eset will narrow that chance by a huge amount, but it wont completely protect you.
