ESET - Any Good?

[Paul.R]

That reads quite similar to what EP_X0FF has written on kernelmode.info, but you've left Microsoft and Symantec out of the equation, he mentioned those as well.

Geniuses think alike . I don;t use those products....so I can't pronunce about them. But I use Avast now and used Dr.web,Kaspersky, ESET.
These are: Fantastic 4 team of security software. (my opinion)

Yes, ESET is okay, going through the different articles, trying to max security - hoping not to break anything, apart from the internet connection! Thank you all for your advice/info, and congrats James on becoming a Staff Member, well deserved!

simple answer
as long as you have qihoo for FREE I wouldn't bother buying one at all.
of course eset and other names has much much better reputation and more trustable but when it comes to the real world qihoo is doing the same and even better in many tests.

another thing to consider if you trust the independent tests why to pay if you have free panda that is doing better.

I use Avast as my realtime AV and have ESET, Kaspersky and Dr. Web on my USB full of malware cleaning tools such as rescue Cds, WinPE, and a few others. Between those 3 alone they should clean up a good amount of malware to get into Windows and run other scanners such as Malwarebytes Dr. Web's and Kaspersky's disinfection abilities and just amazing combined with ESET's excellent signatures, you cannot go wrong using them as scanners or as a realtime AV

Would ESS have similar way to configure just like CIS since both also have HIPS?
Planning to get 1U1Y later this week and give it a try, since there is an IT fair coming ard in my country.

ESET is way far less configurable, and its HIPS very young

At this point it should be working, but not a rule has been added to it for a few years, while other HIPS got tons and tons rules by now.
