Re: ESET antivirus -- PCTECH

I also use Microsoft Security Essentials at home and recommend it to all who
ask. It is free for personal use, and is really good. The footprint is
small and it installs and updates easily.

Note about "free for personal use". While I am sure there are businesses
who also use it, it is a violation of the licensing agreement and I don't
recommend it to clients for that reason.

I didn't mention it initially because Jeff asked about "administration",
which implied to me that it is for a business.

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.
