Sonoran Desert 7 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) For what it's worth: I recently came back to ESET (ESS) after using Norton and Avast for quite a few years and dabbling with Webroot and Bit Defender. (The "unbiased" magazine/online reviews swayed me). ESET just exudes quality, excellence and superb craftsmanship in all facets with layers of protection, rock steady reliability and no drain on computer resources.Everything in ESET is just so well thought out and executed. I also appreciate the minimalist (some say outdated) interface. My older computers don't even know ESET is installed (unlike BD, which they choked on). The knowledge base is hands down the best in the business as is the forum. There's a good number of brainiacs who post on the forum, more so than others forums I've looked at. It's pretty impressive when someone complains of a bug in ESET that one of the mods (like Marcos) says, "Nope, it's not ESET, it's a bug in so and so's software, we verified it and told them how to fix it". ESET doing other software vendors research and then telling them how to fix their software. None of those annoying, troublesome green dot/traffic light browser plugins that didn't work or broke the browser so you'd have to disable them anyway. I don't use the the antispam in ESS 8, it's nice that I can disable it and not have the taskbar icon turn red and tell me I don't have maximum protection. The firewall in ESS 8 works flawlessly, not causing any problems whatsoever (unlike Avast and especially Norton not letting Outlook retrieve/send email). I went away from NOD32/ESET after version 3 and now coming back to the excellence of ESS 8 I'm kicking myself for ever leaving. Well that's my story, ESET and I are going to make beautiful music for 2015 and beyond. I can hear my wife telling me "I wish you would fuss over me like you do with ESET".
