@OJNSim - It's also based on years of experience. I personally don't use ESET products. However, my opinion of ESET, has nothing to do with my answer. My suggestion of not keeping any personal files stands. I have never heard of a single infection that would extract install.wim, modify the image and replace it, in an effort to prevent from being removed. In order to modify a windows image the Windows SDK tool must be installed, the chances of malware modifying the image, is less than winning the lottery. You have better chances of being hit by lighting multiple times.

weird..some previous comments disappeared. Anyway, I am not arguing anything, just asking. Your explanation about malware is able to infect any kind of file is new to me, and I still wonder how to handle it. OS, Applications can be reinstalled from scratch maybe unconvinient but tolerable. Personal files - this is a real problem. I understand ESET is not good enough in your eyes, is there another one(s) that you feel can do a good job scanning all these files?
