Yes, it's typical for ESET NOD32 to show such results.

I received ESET NOD32 Anti-Virus bundled with my new laptop, but performance hasn't been ideal yet. After installation, booting took much longer and launching apps was extremely slow. In comparison, my older laptop running McAfee for years showed no such problems. Could this slowdown be due to ESET or typical anti-virus behavior? My newer machine (with ESET) has an Intel i7 4700HQ, 16GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 760M, and a 750GB HDD on Windows 8. My older machine (with McAfee) has an Intel Pentium, 3GB RAM, 320GB HDD on Windows Vista SP-1.
Why would you even install that in the first place!?Anyways yeah it's probably the antivirus or you might have a virus that the antivirus hasn't detected. Install avast and malwarebytes and see what pops up
Even though McAfee doesn’t improve laptop performance, it struggles significantly with virus removal. It’s just a basic alert, no real action taken. I chose ESET because a friend who uses it reported better results against viruses and malware. Probably they’re dealing with a different problem right now.
I've been using Eset Smart Security for two years. I saw a 5-second slowdown in my boot time after removing it, and now cold boot takes about 3 seconds.
Checked the link you shared. It appears to be a documentation page for a specific tool or service. Let me know if you need help interpreting it.
Always verify startup services in msconfig and Task Manager before proceeding.
Many believe Eset works well, but it falls short in reality. The intrusion detection system lacks a default set of valid rules and doesn’t catch as many threats as more affordable antivirus solutions. Simply uninstall it and use free options like AVG or Avast; AVG offers better detection than Avast but is favored by users, and it’s still decent. I’m sorry if my tone came across as harsh, but Nod32 performs adequately, though it isn’t outstanding.
