They both use the exact same Anti-Virus buddy.

Eset's antivirus engine is the same as Smart Security's. Smart Security just has more features and a firewall.

Sure, stay away from ESS unless you want no end of problems, stick to EAV.

I suggest u reset all ESS4 setting into "default" because ESS4 use the same antivirus engine (NOD32).So maybe your setting got a problem.

Hello,

Since ESET Smart Security and ESET NOD32 Antivirus use the same anti-malware engine, the only reason I can think of that one program would detect something and another would not is because of a difference in the signatures or in the configuration of the programs.
