Eset is a well-known Slovakian antivirus, highly appreciated for its lightness on the system.
Formerly called Eset-Nod32, the publisher has modified its entire range in this 2024 edition, calling them Home, Premium and Ultimate (which includes a VPN thanks to a partnership with Windscribe)
In version 18, ESET has strengthened its engine for blocking unknown threats and enhanced protection features against ransomware and advanced malware.
Admittedly, it's not much, but we'll take a look.
Web protection: 10/10
Eset blocked all malicious links.
Fake crack : 1/1
Eset LiveGuard attempts to analyze the file.
It declares the file to be safe, as the SFX is password-protected.
During the launch, Eset will block the 3 malicious installations.
Malware Pack : Remaining 9 files out of 148.
ESET blocks a suspicious file at runtime, dropping it from 10 to 9.
At launch, the attacks don't launch, I suspect ESET is silently blocking access, or the C&C servers are closed.
Excellent point for Eset!
Final scan :
Eset : 0
NPE : 0
KVRT : 0 (False Positive)
Final opinion:
ESET offers excellent protection on all levels.
Its protection against unknown forms has been much improved, as ESET detects unknown files in “Suspicious” mode thanks to its LiveGird cloud network.
We still recommend it.

When this video comes out, I'll be away from home for the weekend to get some rest.
I'll be releasing the MS Defender + DefenderUI Pro video when I get back, on November 13, as it's already been shot and edited.
Have a great weekend

. Darn shame that LiveGuard is still only available with a premium subscription. Nonetheless, I still use it on my main desktop, and have been for years.
