Marcos replied to cutting_edgetech's topic in ESET NOD32 Antivirus
Would connecting a USB keyboard be an option? -
Activation of NOD32 Antivirus for Linux Desktop
Marcos replied to Lubo's topic in ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Linux Desktop
If you use a firewall, make sure communication with ESET's activation servers is allowed. For a list of ESET's servers, refer to this KB article. -
Games are not happy with new ESET Smart Security
Marcos replied to VidKo's topic in ESET Beta Products for Home Users
Just to make sure, do you have the latest version (1406) of the Antivirus and antispyware module installed and LiveGrid enabled ? -
Email message in Outlook changed to draft by ESET
Marcos replied to kevint8's topic in ESET Endpoint Products
What version of ESET Endpoint Antivirus, MS Outlook and Windows are you using? Does disabling integration with MS Outlook in the advanced setup make a difference? -
NOD 32 seems to be causing freeze during boot
Marcos replied to cutting_edgetech's topic in ESET NOD32 Antivirus
If Windows hangs, it's necessary to create a kernel (or better a complete) memory dump and convey it to ESET for analysis. For instructions how to configure Windows to generate complete or kernel memory dumps, refer to this KB article. It also contains instructions for forcing a crash manually. Alternative links with instructions are as follows: hxxp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff545499(v=vs.85).aspx hxxp://pcsupport.about.com/od/tipstricks/ht/makebsodxp.htm -
Help for removing ask search toolbar
Marcos replied to georgebush's topic in Malware Finding and Cleaning
Basically it should be enough to uninstall a potentially unwanted application via the Control panel -> Programs and features / Add or remove programs. -
Aggain, Eset crashes
Marcos replied to a topic in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
%SystemRoot% should normally resolve to c:\windows. Check if the dump C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP exists, compress it, upload it to a safe location (we can grant you access to our ftp server) and pm me the download link. -
Is it now clear what you were doing wrong? You have ESET Endpoint Antivirus installed but trying to configure an ESET Endpoint Security feature (Web control). In order to block URLs in EAV, navigate to Personal filrewall -> Settings -> Web access protection -> HTTP address management where you can specify the URLs to block.

Operating Memory virus help
Marcos replied to jeffrey159's topic in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
Indeed, there's no mention of a threat detected in memory. Detection of potentially unwanted applications is optional as they don't pose a threat. -
Operating Memory virus help
Marcos replied to jeffrey159's topic in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
Please post a complete scan log, not only brief information / statistics about scans. If there are too many records, post only the malware-related ones. -
You can find instructions how to password protect a rar archive here for instance.

It doesn't sound like a general problem as nobody else has reported it yet and Adobe Flash as well as Firefox are famous programs used worldwide. Please try to narrow it down to the particular module by disabling HIPS, protocol filtering and real-time protection, one at a time and let us know about your findings.

Please submit the file to ESET as per the instructions here. Without analyzing the file, it's impossible to tell whether it's actual malware, clean file or non-functional (corrupt) file.

Please reinstall VC++ Redist. from hxxp://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3387. If you have Windows x64, also install hxxp://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26347.

Aggain, Eset crashes
Marcos replied to a topic in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
When you encounter the issue, we'll need to get the following: 1, a complete memory dump created manually as per the instructions at hxxp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff545499(v=vs.85).aspx 2, SysInspector log 3, information about installed module 4, export of product settings 5, information about the OS and platform (should be included in the SysInspector log) -
ESS v7.0.104.0 performance issues
Marcos replied to nickster_uk's topic in ESET Beta Products for Home Users
If you look at the performance test closer, they state: Use cases: visiting websites, downloading software, installing and running programs and copying data. That said, it all boils down to what files are used. If large archives or heavily packed files are used, it will take longer to scan them. However, without knowing more details about this particular test, it's impossible to comment on it but generally said, in a real-world scenario ESET is one of the lightest AVs in terms of the system footprint. Also we've been continually working on improving performance of code emulation so that files are emulated by advanced heuristics much faster than ever before. -
If you have an email address in the exception list, it will always be checked for spam regardless of whether it's in the whitelist or not. If you do not receive spam with your email address listed as the sender, removing it from the exception list should do the trick.

Check this out for a comparison.

50-80 MB is normal nowadays, also given that only the engine with signature database is about 31 MB in size which needs to be loaded in memory. Also memory is used for operations that would otherwise require writing to the disk which speeds us scanning a lot.
-
Reading several files at once from different physical places on the disk would make hard drive heads move forth and back which would actually slow down the scan speed. You can observe the same when copying files simultaneously within the same disk - it takes longer compared to the scenario when only file is copied at a time.
