There is one thing I love about Eset. If the browser of my VM visit a dangerous site, Eset, from the host informs me or blocks the connection.
I've been told ESET has a great engine. However my experience with it was not very good.
So, I got a horrible intriguing virus that blocked keyboard and mouse on boot and put my safe mode in an infinite loop (couldn't access it) (hey, was my first and only major infection and got me into malware testing and security, so not everything was bad).
Ended up asking for a friend to make me a clean install of w7 (cause he has cheaper keys, or even free) and he did it and installed ESET (again, free or cheap keys cause he works with retailers).
From start, ESET was a pain, its gui took like 30 seconds to start and it ran very slow/stopped responding once I clicked something. Hardware was not the best, but still, not low enough for something like that to happen (dual core, later ones and 4GB ram).
On top of that, when I updated to Windows 10, ESET stopped working completely and I lost my key (cause I couldn't reinstall it without knowing the original one) Would be willing to give it another go, but I don't feel like paying for it after that.
I could also have contacted support, but I doubt they'd help me out cause I had no proof of purchase.
I'm pretty sure I didn't. Would be quite a coincidence for me to mess them up in a way it would disable keyboard and mouse actions AND put my safe mode inaccessible, in an infinite loop I hadn't done anything/installed anything the last time I used the computer.Not sure what sort of virus you got but that is why you always must have a rescue disk from ESET or Kaspersky or any other reputable one..
I always have a rescue disk with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool on it just in case. You are sure you didn't mess up with system files or something? Sometimes people mess with that without even knowing what they remove...

When I said bootable linux thing, I meant Kaspersky Rescue Disk, that's what I used. However, it didn't pick up any malware and didn't solve it. I could see and access my files, though, they were all there.
I do too; however, like ESET its pricing is a little steep for my taste. But, it is quite a good program, especially the latest version. Probably the fastest scanning engine I have ever come across. Performs a full scan of my PC in less 10 min. They have a great caching algorithm. Only probem is that they have more than 4 or 5 active processes which, on a older laptop is quite worrisome.I like F Secure
You missed Botnet protection and Advance Memory scanner and LIveGrid and Exploit Protection.Eset has a really fast reaction to zero-day malware, but I'm not really sure about their zero-day components. For example, Norton has sonar which is really good, but ESET? Does it have only the HIPS? If you use HIPS into automated mode, they aren't going to do so much.
