I was at the German site. All talking about antivirus only. Anyhow, the Germn testing website does not list Eset as a good one. Not even average industrial standard, they say. Scores base on overall metaresults for Sept-Oct last year.

One can sort the results at the top, in three categories, protection, repair, usability (the latter including speed factors and system drain).

Sites like this seem to be the only possibility to have at least a chnace to bring some order into the diverse disorder of software you can buy. Somewhere one just has to start.
