If you reached the point to have UAC bypassed , neither NOD32 nor ESET internet security can help you. The main idea is, as a home user with Win 10 and RDP disabled, you do not need ESET internet Security and NOD 32 will suffice. All over this forum , the advice is to buy ESET internet Security (more expensive) , which has RDP brute force protection: https://forum.eset.com/topic/26634-is-nod32-eset-really-that-good-legitimate-question/?do=findComment&comment=126009 "..As for ESET, I'd recommend that you trial ESET Internet Security (contains also RDP bruteforce protection)" https://forum.eset.com/topic/26518-is-eset-antivirus-a-good-choice-does-it-cover-all-my-bases/?do=findComment&comment=125382 " NOD32 Antivirus would not protect you from RDP brute-froce attacks which is a common infection vector of attackers to gain access to victim's computer and run malware, steal data, etc. " https://forum.eset.com/topic/26432-eset-nod32/?do=findComment&comment=125023 "I'd recommend trying out ESET Internet Security or ESET Smart Security Premium (ESSP) which are products that also protect your from brute-force RDP/SMB attacks"

An attacker has to gain Administrative privileges on your PC , before registry modification. How an attacker may get admin privileges without login credentials????

Hello peteyt, What do you mean by "I don't know your exact question?" My "exact question" is in the post above: "If I have “Don’t Allow Remote Connections” to this Computer selected , I am still exposed to RDP brute force????

Thank you for your answer, but....still I did not get it. If I have “Don’t Allow Remote Connections” to this Computer selected , I am still exposed to RDP brute force????

The general advice is "I'd recommend that you trial ESET Internet Security ,contains also RDP bruteforce protection " However, I have several home PC's , behind a router; all of them running Win10. All of them have “Don’t Allow Remote Connections” to this Computer. Do I still need ESET internet security or NOD32 is enough?
