Has anyone heared of the "ESET anti virus protection"? GOOD vs BAD ?

It's VERY good. In fact it's what I use. Kaspersky and NOD32 are the best anti-virus programs available. I use NOD32 because it's lighter on my system than Kaspersky. Either of these programs are highly recommended. Recent tests prove Kaspersky and NOD32 are better than the best sellers Norton and McAfee.

Norton is rubbish, it's notoriously bloated and likes to take over your system. Trend Micro Antivirus is a viable alternative if you're having a lot of trouble with software conflicts. Trend Micro rounds out the top three. BitDefender is very good as well, but gives a high number of false alarms.

The most popular free anti-virus programs (AVG and Avast) have poor detection rates (82.82%, 87.46% respectively). If you want a free anti-virus Avira has higher detection rates than AVG or Avast! (94.26%).

In my many years computering, I never heard of this antivirus program before, but of course you got to remember that there are lots of antivirus programs out todate and most that are Free are not Safe to download and install so my advice to you is Only "Download and Install" programs that you know for sure are Safe to Use, use programs especially (antivirus, and spyware) that is well known and recomend by others and you can also go to CNET Downloads to check out Free programs as that is suppose to be a more safe and secure site to download from. So don't install that program because it just might be full of (spyware, and malware) If you need a Good and Free antivirus program (just ask that question here in question and answer) and everyone here will give you a list of Safe, Free/Paid version of Antivirus, and Spyware programs that is well known and used by others ok. It is always best to be safe than sorry later. Good Luck

I've used NOD32 on several machines for about a year now. Never had a single virus on any of them.

its great! love it!
