I tried it before. I havent done leak test on ESS yet, But my friends say that ESS firewall is just average or above average. It is actually a nod32 security suite with antispam, no privacy control, pretty okay firewall to me.
There is a new version now I havent tried it yet according to eset official forum, it consumes less memory, ESS version 3.0.566.

Would it be better than others?
I read an article in Holland which said that ESS is better than all other suites

The product is OK. I only have a problem with the 'religiousness' of its users...

What do you mean by 'religiousness' ?

Nod32 has some sort of cult following that is probably what he means, sadly I once was part of that cult that is until I learn the truth when running kaspersky online scanner on my computer.

As long as you say 'Yes', and 'Amen', everything is OK, but as soon as you start pointing at weaknesses, your credibility or your capacity to reason is being questioned, usually in a style that resembles shouting and ranting...

You tested it?

Of course, I tested it, but I wouldn't buy it. Too easy to kill... )))

I agree. I tried renaming ekrn.exe. ESS realtime protection disabled.!!!!! Its self defense can really be questioned.

Sounds very fishy to me

Its true!! I tried renaming ekrn.exe. Then reboot, here is the error message
"error communicating with kernel" What I mean not real time protection disabled. It really means ESS & also applies to Nod32 totally disabled. Everything including on demand scan dies.
It shows that it can be destroyed by very powerful mallware.

wow that's easy
