This mode is designed for a system that has rules already made. Either created manually or through learning mode first. If not every action by the system will cause a pop up until rules are created.
It was popping up about OSArmour all the time and I selected create rule everytime, but then my pc stopped responding.
Maybe it's conflicting with OSA. It did block a website as well with no option to allow it.

You probably should add an exclusion for OSArmor.
Maybe I'll install again and leave at defaults but I read here it needs tweaking to be good?

Discuss - Configure ESET as default-deny (bye ransomware!)
This is a good place to start. A couple people also shared their additional rules in that thread. Leaving it on automatic, but adding these rules, will increase your protection without the hassle of interactive mode.

Advice Request - Configure ESET Antivirus for Maximum Security (by RoboMan)
Last update: November 2021 If you're here you may probably have been delighted already by the majestic features of ESET :) Maybe the signatures convinced you? Great static detection for sure. In this thread I will guide you a bit on how to configure your ESET product for maximum security...

Configure ESET as default-deny (bye ransomware!)
Good morning mortals! I hereby share with you some amazing HIPS rules for ESET that will work as default-deny to prevent infections such as ransomware. You can check the source here. You can test under your own risk. I have enabled them all with ESET Internet Security 19 and it works...

ESET's HIPS is its strongest and weakest point at the same time. Extremely powerful but too complicated for a newbie who just wants the software to protect their machine.
For a consumer level product the more automated it is, the better. Not everyone is or wishes to be a security enthusiast.

Yeah I've been a long term emsisoft user, pretty much install and forget. Just concerned it wasn't doing so well in the hub so thought I'd try something else. Kaspersky always gave me problems so ESET was next best thing but finding it's a bit hard work for my needs.

Default settings provide very good protection for a home user, depending on your habits. If you use it with OSArmor at default then you are in really good shape.

Don't judge your security software for online tests. Despite I love our Hub and respect the users that share their testing with us, one must remember that we're testing packs of malware, throwing sometimes dozens of files in the same scenario. You, final user, with safe habits and ad blocker, will be lucky if you face a real malware executable once in a while. Emsisoft failing in some packs doesn't mean it can't stand infections. It has proven to be a solid solution.

Even i know this and I've never used Eset, especially this "... or through learning mode first."

Neither. Kaspersky AV and Eset Nod32 are not worth the money you are paying! Either get Kaspersky Internet Security/Total Security/Security Cloud Personal or Eset Smart Security Premium. If you just want an AV and nothing more, get Kaspersky Security Cloud Free. It gives you more than KAV and Nod32 have.

Eset is great in performance, as well as having excellent settings and a great HIPS settings, if you know what you're doing. However, I miss some functions that Kaspersky has.
And not if it's my impression, but I can't feel safe enough in Eset as in Kaspersky.
However, I definitely recommend ESET to anyone who doesn't have a powerful computer, just be sure to tweak the settings, such as turning on DNA signatures, PUP detection and protecting your main folders through HIPS. ESET can offer great protection, I just don't know why it comes so poor at default settings.
Kaspersky, most of time and for many users, is install and forget, I can't say the same to ESET.

Kaspersky is heavier at update too. It's super empressive how Eset can update their product and signatures fast.I find Kaspersky is relatively light except when browsing the web..For some reason avp.exe spikes when opening a new tab
Agreed,...Eset is lightning fast..

I would choose Eset, and tweak it. I like Kaspersky too, and I think it's a hair stronger than Eset. But for the normal surfer the difference IRL would probably be minimal. Both are great products.

Both are great
if you have high pc specs go to Kaspersky Internet security
if you have low pc specs go ESET Smart Security.
i prefer BitDefender
thanks

although I think that kaspersky is something better than Eset on several computers I am using eset (it is not the subject but bitdefender I think it is better than kaspersky) eset consumes less than kaspersky and eset gives me peace of mind and no discomfort

Your opinion is out of place, it is being discussed which product is better protecting the system, not if the product is Russian or of any country. In Kaspersky protection> Eset
