i think the viruses that prevented ESET from installing are the ones that find ESET a threat to them not malwarebytes

Do you have a System Restore point where your PC wasn't infected with any malwares?

Reinstalling Windows 7 would be a real pain compared to Windows 10 for example but the system file checker may help you. Take a look at this or this on Microsoft Answers.

V12 din not fix anything , was just an upgrade to the new version. V11 failed to detect " 10 VIRUSES "

 

So, why exactly are you "thanking ESET Developers and ESET Security Team "   ????

It could be after a database update ESET was able to detect the 10 threats , or according to what he said , that the malware was preventing ESET from doing it's job, maybe the malware was able to disable ESET ability to scan/realtime scan and detect the threats , by installing v12 as far as I imagine ESET was able to run it's engines to be able to scan and detect.

Try to find a good System Restore point where your computer was running good without any troubles and malware , restore to that point , upgrade ESET to v12 , fully scan your PC inorder to check if there is malware around or not.

Either way, I cannot see a reason to " thanking ESET Developers and ESET Security Team " ; in fact if a malware was able to disable ESET, is a big failure...

It is really hard to figure out what you are saying. Did you finally get Eset ver. 12 installed and as part of its initial scan it found and deleted the "viruses" you are referring to?

Read a number of web postings indicating either updating your graphics drivers or, reinstalling them if no update is available, often eliminates this issue.

It could be that they were PUAs or some malware in an archive which were detected by v12 after PUA detection was enabled or a full disk scan / initial scan was run. Since v11 and v12 have the same detection capabilities, there's no reason why malware would not have been detected by v11 but would be detected with v12.

My vote is on this activity since the last Eset ver. 11 detected some test malware of my PC after I reinstalled it after a Win 10 reset install. The files were detected by the initial scan and were not archived but were indeed Powershell scripts.

Well in my own experience , ESET was able to protect me most of the times even though that sometimes MalwareBytes picked up things that ESET didn't , but I still trust ESET and stopped using MalwareBytes , but I do understand that we all make mistakes and so do ESET , even if sometimes you get infected, it might be not ESET fault , Indeed you pay for the service for it to protect your systems , but still threats in the World are getting born and made everyday , so it's quite hard to stay up-to-date with all of the threats and also you need help from your users by sending you samples whether it was automatically or manually

I never had a malware that was able to disable ESET , but I think they can work around it and disable it if a malware maker wanted to do that , for Windows Defender it's so simple , you just add a registry key to the regedit , and then Defender is disabled.

i deleted all system restore points when it was working it improves system performance

I don't know about the system performance but as far as I know that it would only free up some disk space if you remove restore points but not other performance benefits

Check this website and skip to step 3 since you have Windows 7  : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/929833/use-the-system-file-checker-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system

If you have the ISO or disc of Windows 7 , you can do a Startup Repair and see if it can fix some files , you can check this website here it's explained how it's done : https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-perform-a-startup-repair-in-windows-7-2626170
