Just thought I share my settings in ESET Smart Security for those who want to try it or just got it and are not sure what is what.
Version 9: You Gamers want to enable "gamer mode": Please read this post for more info in the firewall options here Please read more about exporting and importing settings on this post here ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 8: Here are the ThreatSense parameters: Now ThreatSense Parameters are a little different in different areas so just match the one you see with the one in the pic.

Just installed Eset Smart Security 9 today, and I must say this a great Anti-Virus, Security software. Thanks for the above, it helped me set mine up.

@RocknRollOutlaw, My pleasure here are a few more tips:
AT first you will get some prompts from the firewall in interactive mode for some of your stuff the ones you recognize make sure to click the box to remember the rule and then click allow This way you won't be bothered with that prompt anymore: Here is a explanation for the firewall modes: The Anti Virus will also prompt you if there are any changes that happens to the system files, like when you do windows update, if you get that prompt during windows update be sure to click the box to remember the rule and then click allow: Edited by DST4ME - 18 Jun 2016 at 10:34pm |

Had no issues with that as mine was automatically set on "Automatic Mode" But others may find this extremely useful.

Very good but the anti virus will still prompt you if there is changes made to windows for example "Malicious Software Removal Tool" update will get you that prompt the first time.
its a very nice lite av isn't it. Good luck Boss Edited by DST4ME - 18 Jun 2016 at 10:48pm |

Oh ok... I'll remember what to do from now on. So far this has been a fantastic AV and I've used them all. In fact I grabbed this from reading your old posts on Eset. I got the paid version and so far it exceeds all others.

The trial version is the same as the paid, of course that only lasts for 30 days.
Its a great app, I used to use it back in the day when it was nod32 the anti virus. You gonna love it IMHO |

Once you have taken it for a ride and are sure your settings are fine then save your settings so that if you have to reinstall eset for some reason you can just have all the settings back by importing your settings file:
For Import you follow the above guide but at step 3 follow below: Edited by DST4ME - 19 Jun 2016 at 5:24am |

I use both of those also, between those 2 you are covered but I use the freeware version of malwarebytes, and update it manually but nothing wrong with the paid version |
