[QUOTE="Wraith, post: 797047, member: 74314"] ESET IS is probably one of the BEST Suites you will get. It's extremely light on resources and static threat detection is superb. But as others have pointed out, it does not have any proactive defense or behaviour blocker. However ESET has HIPS which is technically far superior to any BB IF YOU KNOW HOW TO CONFIGURE IT. With default settings ESET is meh but once you tweak the HIPS it acts as an anti-executable. Follow the link [USER=29489]@Azure Phoenix[/USER] gave you. I myself have been using those rules for the past one month without any problems. As for configuring other settings, Turn ON scan for PUP/Unsafe applications. Enable Smart/DNA Signatures in Real Time Protection and scan of Runtime Packers. Set HIPS to SMART Mode along with the rules provided in the link and Firewall to Interactive along with the rules provided in the link. Also in the Intrusion Detection part of the Firewall make sure that all options are checked. If you want to make the HIPS behave like an anti-executable you will need to create a HIPS rule to ask you for every new process launched via Explorer(I use this Rule). Another excellent option ESET IS provides is the Device Control. It is disabled by default but it offers very granular control of what devices can be accessed. You can block USB devices, DVD drives, Bluetooth devices, printers, firewire, LPT/COM ports. No matter which suite one uses, he/she should learn to make use of all the features in the suite.
