    Just did a scan, it finished in less than a minute......or maybe I didn't know how to do a full scan.....but I like that it also catches tracking cookies.....and it asks before deletion by default of a virus or a tracking cookie.....

    Ok just did a full scan, no FPs and it finished pretty fast considering that I have 3 TB of data

    I like the way how it doesn't delete threats automatically by default and has a very easy way of adding exclusions, it shows all system hidden files by default just like NOD32 and Kaspersky

    I just installed the F-Secure Anti-Virus and it's super light, even lighter than NOD32! I immediately felt my internet snappier than when I had NOD32 v11 so I bought a license. 39 USD for 1 year/3 PCs

    I guess my internet feels much faster because it doesn't have a built in HTTP Scanner like NOD32 but I don't need that, all I want is a sold file scanner and that's it.

    Did you get infected with ESET? :eek2:
    Are you running Win 7? The UI looks dated, reminds me of Adaware or Vipre.
    Try Appguard or Andy Ful Hard configurator and I bet you'll never run any AVs ever again.
