  1. Thanks Piotr, for the provided links to the other free security products that ESET offers. I have long known of the fantastic ESET Online Scanner, of which I use to scan any new install, re-install or a new computer with, once all updates/apps are installed. Most of the time, something is quarantined during this first scan. Though I never delete the items until I know for certain that it's unneeded. I did know of the SysRescue (recent AIK package install required) & SysInspector already. The stand alone tools, I wasn't aware of. And many Thanks to ESET for providing them. There's no such thing as "too many" virus/malware cleaners & if one only has one available computer, it's good to keep as many current emergency apps as the user deems reasonable. Some stubborn malware requires more than one tool for discovery/removal. I have personally seen this on several occasions. Cat
  2. 90 second installs? I have an MSI with an i5 & 8GB RAM, the install took about 3 minutes. Still, this is an improvement over previous versions. Plus no reboot was required. When there is improvement, no matter how slight, I'll take it. Install times also depends on the ISP speed, which if a cable one, may vary during peak times. The "99%" complete even shows as such with the ESET Online Scanner, even though it may still scan for another 30 minutes or so, & also shows for a bit on V6. Kind of like a gas gauge on an auto, it's not an exact science. Ever notice how long it stays on Full, then once it begins to drop, it does so as a rock? That bugs me more than the "99%' complete does, as I know that I'm soon going to pay for more fuel. No one year subscriptions there. Cat
  3. Installed ESET NOD32 V7 on my Dell Dimension 2400 running XP Home SP3, runs like a champ. The initial scan completed perfectly & all is fine. This replaced MSE on this machine. Also installed ESET Smart Security V7 on my Toshiba with same results. This replaced AVG 2013 Free, which was good for a free product, however not the quality of ESET. Resource usage has improved on both computers, resulting in better browser response. Initial scan was clean, though I do run the ESET Online Scanner every two weeks on these & one other. I didn't expect V7 to find anything due to my aggresive scanning & being extra careful as to what I click onto. I'm a licensed ESET NOD32 6 AV user, have used the brand going on the 3rd year now. Have 5 computers with several Windows installs, with only a 3 PC license, had to skimp on security on my less important OS's. Those makes a good test ground though & with the upcoming drop of support for XP, the users who continue to run the OS will need the best security possible. ESET should fill the slot fine, as it did with Windows 2000 for 2 to 3 years after drop of support. As usual, when running Firefox, my default browser, the warning about the NoScript site came up. a good sign that V7 is functioning properly. Many users expects to see not too many changes from version to version. However the changes that ESET has provided has always been for the better (like the Anti-Theft beginning with V6 Smart Security). I look forward to being a regular here, as I also tested V6 for months before the final release was available. Have lots of beta testing experience the last 3-4 years, beginning with Windows 7 Beta/RC & Windows 7 CP/RP (from Day 1 of CP), am a moderator on a Windows 8 forum. Besides ESET, I've beta tested also for MSE, AVG & F-Secure. Please keep up the great work. It took me 3 years & a half dozen purchases of paid security apps before I discovered ESET. I'll continue to use the ESET brand as long as it provides me the excellent protection that it has & will continue to recommend it to others as a premier security product. Cat
  4. You need to install SP1, otherwise you'll not get anymore updates. If my mind is serving me correctly, those who didn't install SP1 for Windows 7 gets no more updates as of April 2013. I had this same issue with my Toshiba, had to install SP1 manually. Here's the link, make sure you select the correct bit version. hxxp://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5842 Best of Luck, Cat
