ESET has detected it since version 15403 in memory and since 15404 on files on a disk too. As for the vulnerability CVE-2017-0144, ESET has protected users from malware exploiting the vulnerability since April 25 by the network protection module present in Endpoint Security v6, ESET Smart Security v9+ and ESET Internet Security v10 even if the appropriate hotfix from Microsoft was not installed.

EFSW doesn't contain firewall which means it can't protect you against exploits at the network level. However, as long as you keep the system up to date and have all security updates installed, all known vulnerabilities should be already patched.
