[QUOTE="cofer123, post: 1066851, member: 92976"] It really looks like their marketing and product departments are not in sync. Pricing is all over the place, product offering is lacking, now you have 4 choices for the home user. I don't believe they will manage to attract new users when their competition is cheaper and with more features and simpler to figure out what you're paying for. Also, when referring to their products, people usually remember them by NOD32, not so much as Eset. Names are that important. Everyone knows Norton and that it's yellow, McAfee and that it's white and red (and slow and annoying 😅), Kaspersky and that it's green. NOD32 is the robot antivirus but whoops, where have they gone to? Hopefully but I don't know. I remember they claiming improvements for behavior detection since at least version 15, yet not much has changed. All we got is a browser add-on that doesn't do anything the browsers don't already do, with a few extra gimmicks. Also, while we are at it, there are reports of a memory leak with version 17: [URL='https://forum.eset.com/topic/38922-ekrnexe-memory-leak-in-ver-17/']Ekrn.exe memory leak in ver. 17[/URL] I checked and noticed similar behavior on my machine, with ekrn.exe using around 200MB of memory after a few hours running.
