Advice Request Goodbye Kaspersky, Hello ESET

[pvsurfer]

As a US resident and our government's Kaspersky ban, I finally got around to uninstalling Kaspersky Internet Security and replacing it with ESET Home Security on our Windows (home) PCs. So since I'm an ESET 'newbie' I have everything running at default settings, and that's the main reason for this thread - I would be most appreciative if you ESET users would share your setting preferences. I would also be interested in learning if any of you run Andy Ful's WHHLight along with ESET.

Welcome to the ESET community! For a newbie, the default settings are quite effective. However, you can always tweak them according to your needs. As for WHHLight, it's compatible with ESET but ensure it doesn't interfere with ESET's operations. Always remember to keep your software updated for the best security.

If as you say, WHHLight is compatible with ESET, then it shouldn't interfere with ESET's operations.
Of course I always keep Windows and my security apps up-to-date.

Absolutely, WHHLight should work fine with ESET. I just mentioned it as a general precaution. It's great to hear that you keep your systems updated. Enjoy your ESET experience!

I'm curious how much will K be affected by the US ban regarding its protection levels, detection etc. Which i think it will have an impact.
