    New A-V Comparatives Malware Protection Test

    Notwithstanding that Eset was lumped in with Windows Defender in the lowest certificated category, there is a question about LiveGrid's effectiveness. Eset's scores for online and off-line detection were identical. This indicates to me that LiveGrid is either unnecessary and Eset's DNA signatures alone are adequate, or LiveGrid's reputation capability needs some fine tuning. 

    This is just a "synthetic test", in real life may be different......:P

    well synthetic tests are one thing and real user experience is other

    Hi Peter,

    Everything in life is based on "synthetic tests"

    - want a job? You have to pass an interview, no matter how good are you in real life

    - want a driver's license? You have to pass multiple tests, is not important what your mommy says that you are a good driver

    Beside these "synthetic tests" there is a consensus on this forum that  v10 is slower than v8;

    Who cares about RAM consumption when 8GB is common nowadays.

    Well...it is not! (see attached). V10 has a performance score of 4.5/6 and is visible in real life.

    My question was referring to real support. I want , if I have a problem with v8 , to get a solution for v8, not to be advised "install v10"

    For example , I had the same problem mentioned several times so far :

    "HIPS - User rules file contains invalid data"  see:

    ...and nobody bothered to provide an answer , other than "install v10"

    Hi,

    Is NOD 32 v8 still (actively) supported?

    I have 2 licenses for 2 years , but I am not quite happy with the latest version ( kind of slow down my PC, tried on 2 different computers), so I would like to continue with v8 (instead of MSE +MBAM)

    Thanks!

    ESET leverages mainly a blacklist of hashes calculated from the results of emulation provided by advanced heuristics

    In spite of all this sophistication, I never had an ESET detection other that signature based, always with clear name of item detected.

    And this for more than 5 years; nothing like HIPS detection, behavior detection, etc.

    I have two questions for MSE...do you work for Microsoft or are you receiving any form of compensation from them?

    Oh yeah... I am vice-president  at MSE and I receive millions of dollars just to post on ESET forum.....:lol:

    Why do you have to find all kind of explanations and cannot accept the simply fact that , indeed, MSE improved its detection rate?

    It is a vivid example of how important cloud based reputation analysis is in malware detection today

    see this:

    https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/mmpc/2014/09/22/microsoft-cloud-protection/

    Microsoft is using cloud protection to help keep our customers safe. In fact, nearly any detection made by Microsoft security products could be the result of cloud protection. Software developers often ask us how this cloud protection works and how they can improve our cloud’s impression of their software.......

    Of interest is Microsoft does not participate in Virus Bulletin tests. I believe the following related to their test procedures might be the reason

    MSE is a free software ; I do not see a reason for MSE not to participate in any tests or to fake any tests.

    It is free.

    On the other hand, you can see "reactive detection rate" between 90%and 95% for most of the VB candidates, which is not impressive.

    Proactive , less than 75%.

    This leads me to believe that the malware samples used in the tests were "cherry picked" to be detectable by both products generic signatures versus those used by other AV vendor products. 

    I highly doubt that AV Test would use different sets of malware to test different security software.

    From what I know , the set of malwares is the same, they will re-image the test PC and run it again for each and every entity tested.

    I hardly remember an old-fashioned signature detection by ESET. Maybe with eicar and some other few files where a traditional signature suffices. ESET have used sophisticated DNA definitions for years which are based on code emulation by advanced heuristics, so not traditional signatures. I'd bet that most detections you've seen were thanks to various ESET's technologies. For more info, read https://www.eset.com/int/about/technology/.

    Do you also believe that MS would protect you better in real life than ESET?

    I used ESET for few years; even though ESET is quite sophisticated, yet all alerts were signature based; never got an alert from HIPS or something else . MSE is good enough on detection based on signatures.

    Do you believe there are security solutions that detect 100% of malware?

    Is not "what I believe" is what AVTest said. 

    3 hours ago, Marcos said:

    Do you believe that 1,9% difference in detection in a test is that big?

    No, will not make a big difference , so even though MSE would be at 98% is still exceptionally good.

     

    Now, if you pair up MSE with MBAM Pro v3 , you will get a layered approach in PC security with better results than just using ESET.

    HIPS - User rules file contains invalid data

    I checked my v8 logs and I have the same "User rules file contains invalid data"

    I do not have any custom rules in HIPS.

    Please advice how to fix this in v8.

    Hi Marcos,

    Please disregard my post, since as of today I am not an ESET user anymore.

    HIPS rules order in v.8

    in ESET NOD32 Antivirus

    Posted

    Hi Marcos,

    In a previous answer of yours, (see below)

    you said:

    " then you create a general rule with no path specified, the former rule must be placed above the latter as the rule with the first matched condition is applied.

    It seems like, the order is important.

    So, my question is , how do I move the rules up and down , to change the order, and how do I insert a new rule between two rules already created?

    I'd certainly listen to ESET experts who offered technical reasons why they shouldn't co-exist.

    Not an "expert" opinion but you could figure out this by yourself:

    When MBAM  was just an "antimalware" designed to run alongside your antivirus, it was tolerated somehow and made "compatible"

    Now MBAM 3 claims to be an antivirus replacement, so in fact is a competitor; I can guarantee you that will be 100% incompatible with each and any antivirus on the market.
