  1. Hi, guys, just to say a thing or two about ESS9. So, I've installed it on my antique machine - OS - Windows XP, 1.6gb, 1gb RAM, Intel Atom the other day.

     

    Firstly, the good. ESET's got a GUI that it deserved. Cheers! Excellent work! Readible menus and easy to navigate GUI for the everyday Joe (like me). You could have made a terrible, terrible thing. I don't want to mention the names of some your competitors and the awful things they've done with their apps, but I'm sure, you know what I mean. Or you could have left it untouched. Well, it wouldn't be disaster, but this GUI is better for me. More mature, if I could say so. It would be... little childish wish, but have you considered the option to choose colour or somethyng like that, besides the white?

     

    Some small issues. Firstly, in comparison with v.7 (the one I used more recently) the RAM has grown slightly - I mean for the ekrn. Secondly, I find little lagging when interacting with Windows Explorer, e.g. opening media from within a player - for about 10 to 20 or 30 seconds. Thirdly, turning off the protection (when I play games) - the file antivirus and the internet protection - and then turning it on back through the context menu or through the start window (not through "setup"), the internet shield stays inactive and the icon in the systray doesnt inform me about that (means that I'm unprotected to internet threats and don't know it), so I have to go to the Setup section and turn it on manually. !But this is an issue I had noticed since v.6. There are some trouble with Firefox I think too, but I couldnt define it correctly. It freezes.

     

    I dont know if my feedback is of any value, since I'm running the application on the antiquated XP.

     

    Greetings! Keep up the good work, and may the Force be with you! :)

  2. Hi, there! Wanted to write you about an incident I've experienced while testing ESET Ultitimately Smart Extremely Strong Security v.7 or just ESS 7.

     

    So, I was testing (not sure why) the program against PC Security Test 2011:

    hxxp://download.cnet.com/PC-Security-Test-2011/3000-2239_4-10696151.html .

    On one of the questions, I hesitated and exactly then came and the crash of the GUI. I couldn't move anything on the desktop and after a minute or two a pop-up in the lower right corner told me I was running out of free hard disk space. Another pop-up came telling me something like "Sorry for the inconvenience but...bla-bla ...should close" and BANG! the icon of the program in the tasbar disappeared. Didn't check the task manager though because I stared at the drive where my system was 32kb it read free. Should have been above 3GB. I restarted cause I panicked but thought that could be some generated report. So it was. I was frustrated and uninstalled the application. Something I shouldn't have done. I saved though the report 'cause I know it is beta, and yes $xit happens. That's why I am not mad at you. And now I have a folder on my machine with the respectable size of 3.59 GB of generated crash report. I am not sure how I can help I cant upload it anywhere, and my connection is not one of the fastest. So if you are interested, tell me. Want to help.

     

    Ah, and something else.

    The uninstallation didn't go well and after restarted the machine, I had a broken half program. Used the uninstalation tool. Now everything's OK.

    P.S. Operating system Windows XP SP3 Version 2002.
