It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

You do an SysInterneal's AccessChk for users "Users", "Everyone", "Authenticated Users" and "Interactive". For the directories "Program Files" , "Program files (x86)" and "Windows".
Next to this you can also check out if there are some folders that have rights assigned to your username and not to mentioned users group. You can use icacls.exe to perform the check.

In past I've used this command to perform the check:

icacls c: /findsid Username /t /c /q
 
and of course the you know who of the Anti-Malwares the K one... they should be the first choice outside US
For me it's not as much as $$$ issue since some deals can be eventually found but rather performance issue. Which one is lighter on the system? Makes the sense feel and perform snappier?

The $$$ saved can be translated to; how much is your personal time and sanity worth?

Really at this point, most of us in this forum should be able to use just about anything and be okay, right? I mean, being informed and making intelligent choices is the biggest part of staying secure nowadays. That's what worked for me, at least.

when I'd do something risky, like testing live malware in a virtual machine, I heavily relied on Eset. I used it mostly to protect the host and network, and for that kind of peace of mind, it earned its keep.
 
I believe the HIPS mode was changed to Smart, and potentially unsafe applications were enabled and set to balanced
Yep, I just went through it as well, and only saw those 2 changes at :35 (PUPs enabled to Balanced) and :48 (Hips mode/Filtering Mode to Smart).
And as @Morro mentioned in post #3, it wasn't even in Aggressive mode.

Malware Pack : Remaining 8 threats out of 71
Eset does an excellent job, all attacks have been blocked!
I don't understant what this means? Remaining 8 malware, but you say 'ALL attacks have been blocked" ? Were those 8 not quarantined or what do you mean exactly ?

Couldn't watch your video even though I wanted to, all the text were blurry on my 15.6 inch laptop screen. Maybe could you make your video using 1280x720 ? When you make the video at a higher resolution, it shows up compressed and blurry on my smaller screen, even when I max size the video.

During execution, threats are blocked by the antivirus (this is often the case with attacks; Eset blocks them at launch but does not always delete the source file).
Some do not work either.

For quality, I film in 1080p and render the video in 1080p :/

Is it an AMD GPU/APU?
Did you change quality from auto to 1080p?
 
It is an Intel cpu.
How do u change quaity to 1080p from auto ? The highest I can go is 1366x768 as per Fedora > Settings .
I mean change the video quality in odysee.com where Shadowra upload his videos.
My display resolution is also 1366x768 but I'm on Windows. I have Fedora in a VM though.
 
Just picking "Original" works great for me.
