![]() My girlfriend resisted my suggestion that we replace MSE, as it was something she was used to and hardly noticed. ![]() They became my guinea pigs, but what is a better test of AV software than to install it on the systems of 3 users who routinely infect their systems? I proceeded to purchase a 5 user family license and used the remaining 3 licenses to install ESET products on my girlfriend's desktop, father's desktop, and mother's laptop. It shared all the qualities which made me fall in love with MSE (except the price tag), but the with the added bonus of being very effective. I noticed that ESET had been ranking quite highly in several AV comparison tests, and decided to run the 30 day trial on my home desktop and work laptop. I refuse to endorse a product that I know is inferior and ineffective, so I began my search for a new product. ![]() However, for a while I've been researching different software, comparing results of AV Comparatives and Virus Bulletin (among others), and concluded that MSE is no longer offering an acceptable level of protection. It's free, clean, lightweight - all of which are qualities I wanted in the AV software I use and recommend to clients. My go-to AV software of choice was typically Microsoft Security Essentials. In the past I steered clients away from popular AV software such as Norton and McAfee, as I believe they're bloated, confusing software suites that often times (in my experience) wreak more havoc on a client's system than a potential infection could have caused. I am a PC technician who recently discovered the wonderful software that is ESET Smart Security / NOD32. ![]()
