"ESET seems to have upped the ante considerably here. While NOD32 has always been a cutting-edge product in technical terms, usability has seemed very much an afterthought in previous versions, at least as far as general users were concerned. In a sudden leap, this new product has shaken off the complexity and actually taken something of a lead in terms of ease of use. The default settings put in place in a few easy steps during the installation seem ideal for general purpose use, information and alerting is clear and helpful without ever seeming intrusive or scare-mongering, and detailed configuration is about as straightforward and painless as such things can be. With the user experience reduced to an installation process, and possibly the occasional alert as another attack is spotted and blocked effortlessly, the unobtrusiveness is further enhanced by the product’s legendary lightning speed, miraculously unimpeded by the additional protection, keeping overheads to a level barely noticeable on modern high-powered systems. Lacking full behavioural monitoring may help minimize the slowdown, but with the level of in-depth analysis and emulation going on during scanning the performance is most impressive. As vendors release their latest 2008 product ranges, the addition of new supplementary modules seems to be all the rage, most suites now sprawling with diverse functionality, often at the expense of user-friendliness and occasionally posing dangers of their own. ESET has resisted the temptation to sprinkle in too many extras, focusing instead on the core requirements of a security system. Covering all the essential bases with a smoothly integrated set of protective barriers, the combination of top-of-the-range detection, response time, heuristics and throughput with excellent presentation and design will make Smart Security pretty hard to beat."

I'd agree with most statements in that posting except for:

legendary lightning speed

Sometimes, Yes... But download a large file and watch the CPU Utilization go nuts and the browser freeze. Not really legendary lightning speed there.

The article shows a perspective of a vision based on what the ESET is really.


Problems always exist and they will exist I believe that the ESET will resolve them not in our time but inside possible we have to think that they are working exhaustively so that you link suite be in the perfect point.


New image new evolutions always bring these problems but tou conscious what in the future will shine it is enough to do what we have been doing up to now, to turn back the maximum of possible considered mistakes.


This way the version 551 thinks if stable in spite of some unforeseen circumstances in the update.

Well , I would agree to some extent (if I'll talk about my own laptop) but today I found another computer (client) which works much better and faster with v3 than with v2 , which I can't explain but the reality shows it happens.

So nodyforever is right when he/she wrote "Problems always exist and they will exist" , some will have problems , other will not . As everything new , I am sure that EA/ESS will be much improved in the next 3 months (for example)
