ESET has definitely been a notch above all of the other A/V's I've had to deal with.  I've had to clean up issues for clients using AVG, AVAST, Norton, Symantec and the Micro$oft stuff, but not one issue with ESET (which is why it's the one I use on my computers and laptops for the last several years - and I go ALL over the place!). 

+1
 
I have used ESET for years now ever since a programmer type I met told me that's what he and all his colleagues use despite the fact that they actually worked for one of the big rivals.

Oh and W10 sucks IMO. 
 
I'm really not looking forward to the day when I am forced down that road.

I was just using edge but recently it was garbling up the characters in my important documents so I changed PDFs to always open with Adobe, and nope, it doesnt stick and keeps going back to edge.
 
Only reason I got two copies of Windows 10 is because they were both free upgrades for my Win 7 and 8 keys. Overall I dont mind it though.

It's not so bad really. Then again, I never used 7 or 8, went straight from XP.

I concur. However, the more one can get W10 to look and 'feel' like XP or W7 the better in my opinion 

 
 
The feature I miss most of all in W10 is a 'proper' Start screen.
 
I've done away with the ridiculous phone/tablet-style Start menu and customised what's left as best I can, but it still seems a bit of a mess compared to the simple functionality of older versions.
 
If anyone knows how to get that back in W10 I'd appreciate the advice 
 
This is the best I've come up with so far using a combination of Taskbar and Start menus to open most-used programs:
 

 
 
Mind you, don't get me started on OneDrive and the confusion that's caused poor old Straummy 

I installed Classic Shell ( http://www.classicshell.net/ ) on my Win 8.1 box and used it for years.  Worx great.
 
My new box is 10 Pro.  I decided to build the Start screen from scratch to see if I could live with it.  Between task bar and start menu I've reached a point of usability I can live with.  For now.
 
 

Only because it's becoming obvious that we're all going to be stuck with W10 for the foreseeable future (and even W7 updates are being throttled to push people to migrate), I'm learning to live with it.  I've forcibly uninstalled their photo and Groove Music apps (and even did this to Edge though a future update replaced it - VERY difficult to remove!).
 
I work primarily from the taskbar and even have a copy of File Explorer down there so I can just keep clicking on the second icon to create new windows.  I've cleaned up my start window, but nothing is quite as easy as it should be.  Like everything else in life recently, the powers that be (please put on your tinfoil hat now) want everyone to be distracted by news (ha!), entertainment (a.k.a., gossip & sports) and shiny objects, so you have to remove layers of BS to make a usable system.

I actually prefer 8.1 over all of them.
 
IMO 7 was just taking Vista back to being more like XP because they knew that they cocked it up and 10 is a hybrid of 7 & 8 that's trying to keep everyone happy, but just looks a complete mess IMO. Don't get me started on every update (that you can't turn off) screwing up the ability to print anything.
 
It looks like it was designed by committee, which is never a good thing.

I never get what the big deal is really. 3.1, NT, Vista, XP..It's just another OS. The updates happen, stuff still works, I can print things...mostly I just ignore it..then again, I'm a gardener...
