Installed ESET NOD32 V7 on my Dell Dimension 2400 running XP Home SP3, runs like a champ. The initial scan completed perfectly & all is fine. This replaced MSE on this machine.
Also installed ESET Smart Security V7 on my Toshiba with same results. This replaced AVG 2013 Free, which was good for a free product, however not the quality of ESET. Resource usage has improved on both computers, resulting in better browser response. Initial scan was clean, though I do run the ESET Online Scanner every two weeks on these & one other. I didn't expect V7 to find anything due to my aggresive scanning & being extra careful as to what I click onto.
I'm a licensed ESET NOD32 6 AV user, have used the brand going on the 3rd year now. Have 5 computers with several Windows installs, with only a 3 PC license, had to skimp on security on my less important OS's. Those makes a good test ground though & with the upcoming drop of support for XP, the users who continue to run the OS will need the best security possible. ESET should fill the slot fine, as it did with Windows 2000 for 2 to 3 years after drop of support.
As usual, when running Firefox, my default browser, the warning about the NoScript site came up. a good sign that V7 is functioning properly. Many users expects to see not too many changes from version to version. However the changes that ESET has provided has always been for the better (like the Anti-Theft beginning with V6 Smart Security).
I look forward to being a regular here, as I also tested V6 for months before the final release was available. Have lots of beta testing experience the last 3-4 years, beginning with Windows 7 Beta/RC & Windows 7 CP/RP (from Day 1 of CP), am a moderator on a Windows 8 forum. Besides ESET, I've beta tested also for MSE, AVG & F-Secure.
Please keep up the great work. It took me 3 years & a half dozen purchases of paid security apps before I discovered ESET. I'll continue to use the ESET brand as long as it provides me the excellent protection that it has & will continue to recommend it to others as a premier security product.
