ESET Review
Lightweight protection ideal for older machines

Our Take
ESET is the connoisseur's pick — featherlight on resources and packed with advanced controls. It's ideal for older hardware. The tradeoff is fewer consumer-friendly extras (no big VPN/backup bundle) and a slightly more technical interface.
