Hello,
I'm using ESET NOD32 Linux 4.0.81 on Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop.
Every week, I run an automatic in-depth scan; the issue is that when it runs, almost nothing else can be done on the (multi-task) system because ESET monopolizes almost 100% of HDD I/O.
There are 3 ways I can think of to solve that issue:
1) provide a STOP/PAUSE feature
2) provide the ability to scan only when the system is idle
2) provide the ability to limit the % of allowed HDD/SSD IOPS (or whatever other media ESET is scanning), although I doubt it can be done on Linux desktop.
I feel the first 2 are almost compulsory for a modern AntiVirus software and are already available on many other similar softwares.
Regards.
