I've been using Eset AV for many years since version 2. Now using the latest version. Very happy and satisfied with it. Not so sure about the Smart Security Suite, however. I'll probably wait for their firewall to get more mature before I consider switching from Comodo and Eset AV to Eset SS.
In the meantime, I'm very satisfied with the combo of Eset AV and Comodo for their Firewall only. Both native x64 apps and both have been rock solid on my 7 system, even though neither of them officially support it yet. The only issue I've had is when I upgrade to a new Windows 7 build. I have found it necessary to reinstall Eset and reconfigure Comodo each time I've done an upgrade, but that's no big deal to me. With Eset, one can export/save their Eset program settings to an XML file and it's a snap to re-import them after reinstalling Eset so it's just a few seconds really for me to reinstall Eset AV with all my customized settings intact.
ESET has a fine antivirus, but according to matousec, its firewall leaves something to be desired...

I used to use Kaspersky Internet Security, but found KIS 2009 far too complicated to use. To be fair to Kaspersky they did refund me after nearly 2 months of using the software. I have switched to ESET and have never really had any problems since - now using it on Windows 7 RC
I did. This is why I stated what I did about having a stronger anti virus over firewall.
I've read numerous tests all over the net and ESET has never been ranked so low. Who are these guys anyway? And, they are the only ones who have ever ranked Online Armor Personal Firewall as #1 from any site I have ever seen. Do these guys have some sort of stake in this very uncommon product?
Can anyone else back up this report? Is ESET's firewall really that bad?
