[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 847436, member: 83059"] ESET’s recent engine update has been fantastic. They have arguably the best signatures now. My main gripes at this point, if I HAD to complain about something, are: - SSL decryption behavior by default. Some like it, some aren’t comfortable. This would be ideal to ask at install time. - UI is kind of wonky — I don’t enjoy custom notification banners. In ESET’s case, theirs don’t fare well on HiDPI displays and with rotation. - HIPS instead of behavior blocker. They have a very very powerful HIPS built in but none of the “set it and forget it” protection modes trigger on unknown binaries doing suspicious things, which is quite different from most other AVs with a HIPS/BB component. But OTOH you can customize their HIPS to do really elegant and powerful sandboxing if you are willing to invest that effort. - Price/value.... it costs significantly more than other top tier AVs. Furthermore their pricing model treats Macs and other OSes separately from the PC product which makes it even more expensive if you run multiple OSes. But yeah I heard that they power Google Chrome’s built in AV scanner for their downloads which is likely how they stay on the forefront of new malware. [/QUOTE]
