Same here! Even some not so safe practices, this combination blocked everything, so far.

I'm using it. After reading some kinda gobbledgook about incompatibility with win update 1903 on my ESET web site (I've used ESET for probably ten years) and multiple problems getting my new build OS to stabilize, I just decided to go with Windows Defender until I'm in a mood to experiment with some other AV. My 3 year AV subscription to ESET expires in September, so I'm not losing much financially, and I'm looking around.

The Win 8.1 build upstairs is still running ESET and that's OK with me.

This same stupidity is common in the auto industry, same item , new part number.
Change for the sake of change.

It is most commonly attributed to somebody trying to impress the boss to keep their job. And the boss falling for it.

These are the same type of college educated people that think you want to see Toshiba hard drives when you put Seagate in the search box . . . ;>)
