"Light and versatile"
Version: ESET Smart Security 5 5.0.95
Pros
Fast and accurate.The new interface is nice.It does not conflict with other applications.A good firewall with user-friendly settings.
This program works fine in Windows 8 Developer Preview.Cons
Not found.
Summary
I was not a fan of ESET, but periodically return to the program.
However, when I tested Windows 7 and now when I'm testing of Windows 8, I use ESET.
Windows Firewall settings is inconvenient, COMODO Firewall is not installed on W8DP, Norton installed, but it does not work. -
"Overwhelming for the non-computer savvy"
Version: ESET Smart Security 5 5.0.95
Pros
... Nothing new. It does what it used to do in the version 4, only worse. Nothing good nor better, sorry. I miss the previous version.
Cons
I tried to upgrade using their option, but that didn't work. So I had to uninstall the v. 4 and install the v. 5. It doesn't come with a warning that you should check this topic on their site prior installation: How do I configure an ESET Smart Security push installation to prevent loss of network connectivity?
I lost connection. Anyway after spending a long time installing it I had to waste yet more time trying to figure out how to take out of quarantine some safe applications. It's ZERO user friendly. I don't have time to waste trying to find online help so that I can manage preferences and allowing processes, etc etc... If it was up to me, I'd set the 'Interactive mode' option for the firewall BUT it steals my time, seriously. I really regret upgrading to this confusing version.
I miss the simplicity of the v. 4. Most likely I'll end up downgrading it. Utter disappointment.Summary
I've been faithful to Eset for a couple of years now, but this time around it's not worth your money. I was very satisfied with the previous version, which I'll end up downloading again, if given the chance. If not, I'll change anti-virus and firewall, period.

Cons
No Cons!!!!
Summary
Better than Kaspersky,Norton,Bitdefender,etc.!It doesn't slow down your computer!!The interface is pretty cool!!!Everything is awesome!!!It has found some viruses that Avira Internet Security 2012 couldn't find!!!
I think that this security suite is more for Windows 7 than for XP,because i use it on my netbook with Windows 7 and i'm sure there is no virus,but on my PC with Windows XP Avira IS has found 4 viruses after Eset!!!
