How does hardened ESET compare to other AVs?

[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 796729"] I've used Eset in the past and IMHO it's a great program. It's definitely one of the top security programs out there and has tons of features and flexibility to make the system very secure. It's also one of the lightest programs available. Protection wise its very good, but in staying that, at default settings other programs may be a little better, however if you take the time to tweak it and take advantage of things like HIPS it's very strong. [USER=53544]@RoboMan[/USER] created a fantastic setup/configuration thread for Eset Internet security. I would start there if you have any questions about it's settings and how to configure it for stronger protection. The one thing to keep in mind, while from a protection stand point it's probably best to set both the firewall and HIPS to interactive mode, however like [USER=37647]@shmu26[/USER] said, it can be very noisy. One way around this would be to put both the firewall and HIPS into training mode for a day or 2, run all the programs they use and let Eset set the rules for all of those programs, then set both of them to Interactive. You would have to ensure the system is clean first though, but that was how I set my rules to limit the amount of noise interactive mode can bring. Depending on your friend's technical level I would maybe install a trial and see what they think. It's a very good program overall, but like I've said depending on how you configure it, it can be a little noisy and if your friend isn't very technically adept to know what to do with those prompts, it may be a little overwhelming for them. Let them try it for a bit and see what they think. [/QUOTE]
