The Good, the Bad and the Buggy of ESET Smart Security 7 beta
The Good: ESET Smart Security 7 has a great GUI that is easy to follow for new user's although not too much has changed visually.The automatic first time scan is great as other antivirus programs don't normally have a first time scan. The scan reassures me that ESET is actually protecting your computer instead of being useless bloatware like many antivirus programs. Sorry Norton! . I like that to fully install ESET it only requires a restart.Overall it seems to be a great antivirus,I give ESET Smart Security 7 beta an 8.75 out of 10.
The Bad: The Smart Scan seems to either take 20 minutes or 5 minutes, it's off and on for me. It may possibly be on my end but I'm not sure as I don't have anything running in the background that could affect performance, nor do I have a full hard drive. I think this is a really weird issue that I haven't seen before in my years of having ESET. I have slow loading on any video content although it only seems to affect Google Chrome, although I don't think it affects Firefox as I haven't had any video content issues while using it. It seems I'm not the only one with this problem as I have seen other comments mention this.
The Buggy: I have had ESET Smart Security 7 up and running for 3 and 1/2 weeks and haven't noticed any debilitating bugs. I have noticed that the GUI has frozen only a minuscule amount of times, although to fix this all I had to do was simply preform the stereotypical Ctrl + Alt + Delete to end the process and reopen ESET.
