AlienForce1 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Finally a test that shows what all of us already know ... ESET is the lightest :) I would like to see it also as good to remove malware (for the moment Kaspersky is better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxhedroom Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I agree with what they mention...if your AV is noticeably slowing down your system then it's probably time to upgrade or maybe switch to an SSD for your system drive. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you surf the internet safely , don't download crack from bad places (for my part they come exclusively from here) , I don't think there is a point to have a "Firewallhipsmultilayersandbox" on your system...

Administrator DKT27 Posted December 26, 2011 Administrator Share Posted December 26, 2011 Find it disappointing almost NO tests etc are done using Comodo... it is unbelievably light.Read this. Not mentioning this cause you are saying about Comodo, but a reason why Comodo isn't included.@Tweety.Abd: ESET firewall is great in protection, the protection marks you see is not for firewall, it's for HIPS. The firewall itself is quite fine (if you exclude some bugs in ESET 5). I'm saying this after testing for few months, otherwise I was one of the biggest critic of ESET firewall in previous versions.

I'm saying this after testing for few months, otherwise I was one of the biggest critic of ESET firewall in previous versions.Thanks for the response :) I believe Symantec's Norton has better firewall which is fully automated and while automated, it creates program rules, unlike ESET, if you set it at Automatic, it doesn't create any program rules. But I'm a bit skeptical about Norton at the moment, my USB drive is almost always infected and when I plug it in my computer, it does delete the virus, but after a few moments, my hidden files and extensions and operating system files are left exposed. And this has happened like 5 times now, and the virus is called Win32.SillyFDC. It changes the folder option settings and I have to reset it again. I believe I need to contact with Symantec before I switch product. My settings are all set at maximum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 you get extra is the virus free guarantee and the tech support...I'm amazed they charge for the antivirus component which happens (IMO) to be the weakest module in the package. Have no experience with their tech support, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no experience with their tech support, though.I'm pretty sure the AV component is free too. I'm running CIS premium, and it has AV, firewall, and defense+ (their HIPS).

Administrator DKT27 Posted December 27, 2011 Administrator Share Posted December 27, 2011 @niharjhatn: Good point. AV vendors do work on improving startup and such, but nothing's transparent enough.True, Comodo AV + Firewall + Defense+ is totally free. The paid version just offers extra services, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
