NIS 2012 and Windows 7 ESET Smart Security

I just installed NIS 2012 on a brand-new Windows 7 system that came with "ESET Smart Security", which was bundled in with Windows 7 from Microsoft. I expected NIS to disable ESET, but they seem to be working side by side.

 

If I disable ESET from my system, am I loosing any security protection?

 

If I remove ESET from my system, am I loosing any security protection?

 

Thanks
