[QUOTE="Shadowra, post: 1082998, member: 92939"] ESET is a Slovakian company, highly regarded for its solid reputation, lightweight antivirus and strong brand. Following a request to test NOD32, I was unfortunately unable to do so, as Nod32 is no longer available for download... However, I took the most complete version offered by ESET to give it a fair chance! [MEDIA=odysee]id=322812bdfd919e01d0edb3a70c7d623eb0b4f8a1;name=ESET-Smart-Security-Premium-2024;path=%40Shadowra%3Af%2FESET-Smart-Security-Premium-2024%3A3[/MEDIA] User interface : The interface hasn't changed for a few versions, but remains fairly simplistic. I'm just nostalgic for the robot used by ESET, which looked very "Next-gen" and has totally disappeared... ESET also offers a number of settings, but I choose to leave them as they are and trust the default settings offered by the editor. Web protection: [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]9/9[/COLOR] ESET blocks all sites with source-based blocking Fake crack : [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]1/1[/COLOR] During execution, ESET LiveGuard intercepts the launch and attempts to analyze it. Since the executable is in fact a password-protected SFX self-extracting archive, ESET allows me to do so. During copying, ESET intercepts malicious installations. I refused to restart the machine, as the threat (a CPL) had already been removed and was no longer active. Malware Pack : [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]Remaining 13 out of 526 threats.[/COLOR] ESET has a good engine, that's a fact. But I think it's a shame that it doesn't push hard enough to protect against unknown malware, especially in VBS/JS! Even though ESET blocks connections, AgentTesla is installed. Fortunately, the C&C connection was blocked, but I must point that out! Final scan : Autoruns : 3 keys ESET : 0 (False Positive - AtlasOS) NPE : 6 KVRT : 6 Emsisoft : 2 (Hijack detected !) MalwareBytes : 15 Final opinion: ESET is a good, consistent product that provides effective protection. However, by default, ESET won't protect against unknown malware and especially against scripted malware (VBS/JS) that has led to the infection of the machine. It's not perfect, but with a few tweaks (especially HIPS), ESET can provide much more interesting protection. [/QUOTE]
