| ESET simply cannot remove this useless software from my PC - Its a Software which takes 100% resources even after 30 minutes of Starting - thought it a PIV Machine but the work for which is to be used is accounting and some Data Entry and Pls dont tell me PIV are waste - Fact is ESET cannot be uninstalled and seems have to Format the Machine to remove this Junk | |||

| This software works great for me, takes 1 of 4 cores for active monitoring which seems to be over kill, but uses less memory than firefox with four tabs open.. so all in all, not much of a hog for me. | |||

| It's the main processing part of the antivirus/security suite of ESET. THE BEST antivirus ever. Also if uses a bit of RAM, is lightweight on the overall system. | |||

| ESET antivirus and smart security. I'd personally use something like Avast for its extra features, but this antivirus caught a hold of some stuff that avast didn't detect. | |||
