eSet is not fair!
I've been using eSet's "Smart Security" for nearly a year now and I really like it. It protects my family's PCs from virii and malware and other nastiness, doesn't seem to slow us down any, and runs without a hitch. The icon sits in my systray and turns orange if there's a problem. Usually it's just a nice teal color. Right now, though, it's orange.
Did it have a problem with downloading a virus definition update? No.
Did it catch a nasty virus? No.
Did it detect someone 0wnz0rring my PC? No.
It is detecting that there are 14 days or less left on the year license I bought.
That's just not fair. I have become conditioned that Orange Eset icon = bad. Now every time I look at it, it looks orange and that just bothers me.
I think they should be required to just pop up a little notice and go back to blue. After all, there's nothing altogether wrong. I have time left on the license.
I've sent a bunch of people their direction, and I'll still stay by them as the anti-virus and anti-spyware of choice.
But I'm not happy about the "false orange" thing.
