ESET
How does hardened ESET compare to other AVs?

[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 797141"] I am not sure if this particular component has been tested by itself, trying to test exploit capabilities properly is quite difficult. From what I remember it's not very configurable, you cannot add/remove programs and select settings like HMPA or Exploit Guard, but I think it protects things like vulnerable apps (ie: browsers, etc...), core OS components, but I'm not 100% sure. One thing Eset likes to state when talking about their products is that they are designed in such a way that all components (AV, FW, HIPS, Live Grid, exploit, etc...) work together and really shouldn't be considered as separate entities. If anything disabling one component may severely affect another as they all work together. Personally I think the best defense against exploits is to simply keep Windows and all your programs up to date and to remove programs you rarely/don't use. As I've said in my previous post, if you take the time to configure it and really take the time to make good use of it's HIPS, you will have a very secure system on all fronts IMHO. [/QUOTE]
