If you are ignorant, you can say so. In reality ,is the latest report from AV Comparatives for August 2018.

Yes, but PZT is mandatory contractual car insurance in Slovakia

I ran my PC for months without any antivirus and was OK. Based on your philosophy (has ESET ever failed to protect you) I can say that my mouse never failed to protect me in these months, hence I should use it as antivirus.

Yes , consistency is good! But not on 98% for the last 24 months when even MSE scores better!

https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/real-world-protection-test-august-2018-factsheet/ ESET ($59.99/year) 98.4% MSE (free) 100% (99.5% and 0.5% user dependent) Avira (free) 100% BitDefender (free) 100% Panda (free) 100%

I apologized to TomasP, not to you , so there is nothing for you to accept (or not!)

Aha! I got it!

In fact I couldn't agree more with your statement...

You may be in violation of the Forum rules, specifically #15 https://forum.eset.com/topic/76-rules-of-the-eset-security-forum/ TomFace will alert soon a moderator... Oh, I forgot, this applies only to trolls

See here: " HIPS is as crucial protection module as real-time protection and should always remain enabled. Disabling HIPS also disables self-defense,Advanced Memory Scanner, Exploit Blocker and Ransomware Shield." So, disabling HIPS disables Ransomware Shield.

There is no behavior monitoring in ESET!!! See Marco's answer above.

Is based on HIPS , no behavior or honey pots. See here, from Marcos "we do not perform behavior blocking..."

Dear Sir, It was not my intention to create unrest among the community, I apologize for that! I have 3 ESET licenses 1PC/3Years (2years and something now) for which I paid more than 300CAD and I do have certain expectations from this software. I am not aware about these statistics, all I can see now is that ESET performs worse than some free antiviruses on AV Comparatives (for tha last 18 months) and that ESET doesn't participate in AVTest anymore, following a string of bad results (again in the 18 months) Also on my own tests ESET did not pass any ransomware simulators, the answer being : in real life is different. Well here you can see people complaining about "real life situations" Are you familiar with the story "The Emperor's New Clothes"??? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor's_New_Clothes Even though the emperor was naked nobody wanted to say anything , not to be labeled as "stupid" (in the story) or troll in our situation. Maybe I am the "child" who suddenly realized that ESET is not what is claiming to be.... Thanks,

The "troll" just notice another ransomware fail, FYI: https://forum.eset.com/topic/16839-gamma-malware-help/

This was not about A being better than B, was just an observation from the video attached ; I know it hurts to see MSE performing better than ESET, but this is the reality (and not only here, check the latest AV Comparatives) But, of course we can pretend that never happened and that novice is just a troll. Is the most convenient conclusion, which will make everybody happy.

Yet, MSE (free) detected the malware as Trojan: Win32/Tiggre!plock There is a certain limit of decency up to which you can blindly defend ESET. ESET doesn't have a dedicated antiransomware shield based on behavior. Has just a HIPS set of rules which the marketing department named them "antiransomware shield"

https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/real-world-protection-test-july-2018-factsheet/ ESET (50$/year/PC) 98.9% MSE (free) 100% Avira (free) 100% BitDefender (free) 100% No improving in the last 24 months.

Well, THIS is a professional advice! 100% agree!

I did.

You should stop here already...If you are not familiar with "ZoneAlarm antiransomeware " why would you jump to give an advice????

No, will not. If a "parent" application tries to connect through a "child application", you will get an alert about the child, not about the parent. For example if you allowed internet explorer TCP/UDP port 80 & 443 (for general access of internet) and an application, let's say example.exe , will connect to the internet launching internet explorer as "child" you will not get any alert from ESET firewall, even in interactive mode.

How exactly is a firewall supported? I use PCTool Firewall + since 2012 (unsupported), I used Kerio 2.15 for many years (unsupported) ...

PC Tools Firewall does the same. Plus will alert you if an application will try to connect through a child...

Yes, but this would be impractical. All I want is to receive an alert for <any application> which is trying to use <any application> in order to <connect to the internet>. Nothing more ,nothing less. But I am afraid that ESET HIPS cannot do that.

That I understand ! But... the target should be also blank because , as I said you do not know who the target is (not necessarily IE11 only) . In my previous example , the target was Mbamservice.exe .
