    "Brilliant product"

    August 24, 2012  |   By shr4van

    Pros

    Easy to use UI
    Good detection
    Light on resources
    Free upgrades

    Cons

    None at all!

    Summary

    I've used everything from Kaspersky ( version 7 was awesome, after which it became a resource hogger ), Norton ( version 2006 after it too became a resource hogger ), Symantec Corporate ( resource hogger in its current avatar ), Bit Defener ( extremely high rate of false positives, updates that don't allow you to boot up ), AVG Pro ( firewall never remembered my permissions, and the auto scan feature never worked to detect which programs were safe ), F-Secure ( this one was decent, but did make your system a tad bit slow ), Trend Micro ( king of false positives ) & G-Data ( uses 2 engines - Kaspersky & Bit Defenders making it ultra slow ). Out of all these, only Eset stands out with no complaints. Everyhings made to work perfectly. I feel they should just do away with their customer support because the products just that perfect!!
