    EsEt Online Scan - Is It Overly Agressive?


    Win 10 / 22H2 / Build 19045.3324

    Last night I ran the EsEt online scanner.

    The results look like software I chose to install. Is EsEt seen by the community as overly aggressive?

    A bit of further searching suggests that Avast Free has past its prime as an AV program. I believe I started using it at the suggestion of a Sevenforums forum guru.

    What AV's are most trustworthy in 2023?

    Thanks

    You do not need a 3rd party AV program/app with Windows 10 or 11 and beyond. Microsoft Security (Defender) does just as good a job as Avast, Eset or any other AV app. It is a part of Windows and gets updated via Window Update.
    It looks like Eset does not like your setup files in your downloads folder ? You can restore them, if you like [Solved] How to Recover Files Deleted by ESET Antivirus

    Spunk is right. The built-in Windows Defender is all you need.

    The aftermarket anti-virus programs are no longer needed.
    Their business is dwindling, and that's why they're diversifying into other products.

    @baumgrenze, not in my opinion ! Eset did just what i would have removed if i had you run some programs we use to clean computers !! Most Malware Remover Specialist recommend a scan with ESET after running other programs !
