It is unobtrusive and quite good.. identifies malware websites, viruses etc. Trend Micro is quite good as well. I hate Symantec/Norton because of its high cpu/memory usage
I'll have to check out ESET, never heard of it. I have used a few free and paid AV software over the years, mostly unnessesarily as I don't install viruses and any Windows boxes I have are safely behind firewalls running on more secure OSs. The best AV is common sense
