HANDJOJO 11 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Thanks for the reply, however ESET has been absent for several months as per screen shot attached. We hope it will be back with new version. B/regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,630 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I believe Eset's issues with AV-Test are far from just their protection capability tests. In the last test Eset participated in there, it was rated as one of the lowest in performance. Obviously anyone using Eset know that is an absurd conclusion.

It just means that they were able to block 100% of the widespread malicious samples used in a test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the question about AV test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I have included virusbulletin page. , and in the malware results it performed better with the lowest false positive among others which is a very good thing. nevermind , sorry for my mistake.

It depends on what part of it you are testing. In general usage the performance if pretty good. There are situations where it could be faster, and maybe these tests weigh those things too heavily. Often when I open a folder if there are a lot of files the PC is unresponsive for a few seconds. I am assuming it is scanning the files. But I'm into my second day of testing v12. So far I haven't noticed it. I liked it enough to buy a license. It looks like a lot of people are complaining about the lack of new features. I'm good with that if the time is spent making the fastest, most stable product possible instead of following trends for the sake of doing so.

Never observed that in any Eset version I have used. Might have something to do with realtime scanning setings. Aside from a change to "strict cleaning," I pretty much run default settings there. Also might have something to do with how many concurrent processes are running/loaded. I usually only have only one app process open at any given time.

I don't seem to be having the issue with v12 so far. I did have it a lot with v10. In any case, I don't want to seem like I'm badmouthing the product. Just suggesting why tests may have ranked it as they did. It's far better than waiting for Windows Defender to do what it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
