I agree with Lew, you don't need to reinstall just yet.
The first likelihood is a conflict arising from the ESET driver. Products like NOD32 use a low-level driver which not only interrogates new files/mail/etc. for viruses but also hooks into processes used by apps. The version you have may have been installed incorrectly (I suspect this is your problem, with preload - see links I sent previous), but it may also be a bug (as was the case in one of the links) or it may be an incompatibility causing a service like d-bus to choke.
If trying the preload fix is too challenging, then just uninstall and request a refund.
If you really feel you need an antivirus on openSUSE, you should take a look at clamav. It provides a scanning daemon for file checking but IIRC it doesn't have the low-level hooks. It definitely does not include intrusion detection.
Aide is for intrusion detection and IIRC is based on SELinux. Rkhunter I think is an on-demand scanner for rootkits and backdoors. These are fairly advanced tools. Before going down either path you probably should take a look at AppArmor first.

This goes back a few days, but I remember not being able to install clamav. Don't know why. I will remove eset. Doubt if I'll get a refund. Oh, well. . . --doug
