Re: ESET antivirus -- PCTECH

I stopped using antivirus software other than what MS sends about 5 years
ago. It has been great. I talked to someone at Best Buy and they said that I
probably had a lot of problems and did not know about it. So I purchased a
virus checker and tested my laptop. It did not find anything to remove or
fix. I think they are just trying to frighten us into paying for virus
software.

I'm not a PC tech but am an IT guy, I usually have 2-4 PC's setup for
myself, family and one in the spare room for visitors. I researched
antivirus programs a year or so ago and found that ESET received a lot of
good reviews and press; so, I took the plunge. My experience was that ESET
did degrade the performance of my PC's to the extent that I uninstalled it
and went back to Norton; but, Norton also degraded the performance of my
PC's. A couple of months ago the LCD on my Dell 9300 crapped out; so, I
bought a mini to setup as a spare/travel PC, at that time I researched
antivirus software again, I found that Microsoft essentials received a lot
of good reviews and press, and its free; so I took the plunge. So far I
have been happy with Microsoft essentials, PC's performance is great, no
problems with viruses, program updates received often, I like it.

I have run across it a couple of times. One particular client (an
accounting firm) was sold eSet by another IT guy and despised it
because it seems to slow their systems down. I suspect it was
misconfigured, however.
The admin client is fine.

I prefer Trend myself.

Those of you who use it, how is it?

Does it do a good job? Performance? Administration?

Any thoughts appreciated.
