Should I be concerned about ESS getting the last position?

Eset Smart Security seems to be in the last position (almost) in the Anti Phishing test for 2012 and free tools like avast! antivirus are much better

I have a license for Eset Smart Security for 3 computer valid until Dec 2015 which was gifted to me by ESET for showing them a major security risk on their website

But do you think I should switch back to avast! which Ive used a while back with these kinda poor results on Eset's part or this test doesnt mean much?

I'd probably turn that feature off. It's just overhead with no benefit. I'd think mot users of AT could spot a phishing site without using software to point out the obvious.

I just use Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE).
Seems like Microsoft has a vested interest in improving security for their products. So I feel MSE is on par, or better than most.

The cost of MSE is right.
