Hi,
I just installed a trial version of Eset 13 and rebooted.
Upon reboot, It says Eset needs your attention.
The credentials used to access Eset Live Grid are not correct.
Any ideas?

MSE/WD was just an example of free AV getting better detection than a paid one.
There are at least 9 others performing better than ESET, with 1-3 FP and some of them free (Avast!, Avira, Bitdefender, Panda)
This is not the right approach in trying to justify ESET's failure, over and over again.
I would expect ESET developers to contact AV Comparatives, ask for undetected sample, analyze and provide a documented answer.
"I have been using ESET for X years, and never got infected" is not an answer.
I completely agree with that - a documented answer would help. As I said, it's not only 1 month but the poor results have been consistent for a while now.

We can all agree that Eset rarely has false positives. The problem is the detection which are worrying.

If those are poor results, then how come I virtually never hear from users that they got infected with ESET installed. Of course, there are users who do get infected but they usually have RDP enabled and a user has a weak password which can be easily bruteforced, allowing an attacker to remote in and disable or uninstall antivirus. Another type of users who get infected are those with an older version that lacks some protection features or have ESET misconfigured (e.g. the whole c: drive is excluded, some protection features are disabled, etc.). But I virtually never come across cases when users who practice secure computing and have the latest version of ESET installed get infected.
You do raise a valid point there, however, It's not a one off result from AV Comparatives. How come the other AV vendors consistently get a good score on AV-Comparatives compared to ESET?

Another poor result from Eset... fourth from bottom.

In the Update Tab you could quickly see the number of the "Virus signature database" version in previous version.
Now you have to click there on "Show all modules" and look at the first item "Detection Engine".There was also a link to VirusRadar with the latest virus signature database update which was useful when it showed the added detections of each update.
Will that be coming back?
Eset LiveGrid is not accessible

Also what is going on with uTorrent?
A potentially unwanted box shows up saying saying ML/Augur is detected in a "file". It doesn't state what file is.
I've clicked clean and now looking at the logs, it has deleted uTorrent...
