ESET... What the hell? They need to get their shit together. I broke down and bought a 3 computer licence this year. So far it has been causing all kinds of network sharing issues with my homegroup. ESET's response it so keep installing and uninstalling it. And in the AV-TEST Usability was ESET's STRONG point.

webroot secureanywhere rules, bitdefender is very good but is heavy.

Unfortunately , rules on false-positive detections .

I suggest you to ignore all AV tests , its much better to rely on personal experience. I m using ESET last 2 years , never been infected...

I agree. I have been using NOD32 for at least 5 years now and never had an infection whatsoever. It remains light and non-intrusive.

Personally, I never trust these so called "AV Tests". I don't know who pays their bills, if you know what I mean...

I don`t think that is a wise ideea...

You were not infected in all that period because probably you know what you`re doing , but the great majority of PC users don`t have any ideea what is a computer virus , or when to click or not in an e-mail link ... That`s the sad reality ...

A PC geek can use it`s computer even without any AV installed and it`s PC can be clean for a long time (even on this forum there are a lot of users that don`t use any AV...) , but these are exceptions .
