No, it happens when automatically updates at log on; however, if I go back and forth between screens, the last update time changes to ta correct value.

The "Open ESET...." screen still doesn't correctly display the last update time (says 12h ago) , while the "update" screen says the correct time, see picture:

What about me???????

I was referring to an info like" Last update xx min ago" , not the version number of the detection engine; displaying the ESET version is not an info which is supposed to be readily accessible (could be buried deep in settings) , but to know when your antivirus last updated , yes. And why is that? I do not think there is an user who doesn't want his antivirus NOT to update ASAP after log on. And what is this "Automatic update after dial-up connection"???? I do not know anyone with a dial-up connection these days...What if I do not have a dial-up and I have a cable??? Thanks!

Another user had a similar issue, here:

Well, I tried all the other AVs on the market, but I have to say that ESET is the one which fits the best my needs. Old news, but don't you think is more useful to see if ESET updated rather then the version???? Well, as I said, I installed on 2 PC's , direct download from ESET and did not update on log in. So, I checked the scheduler and that option was disabled.

Just installed it on 2 different PC, download from ESET website, default config; "update at logon" was disabled on both PC's.

Hello, NOD 32 can update at "user logon" (I had to manually check this option in scheduler.....Why?) however , doesn't display this info on main screen, after logon (says "Last update 12 h ago") On "update screen", the info is correct (Last successful update 5:20PM) and if I click "Check for updates" , will check and display "Last successful check for updates 5:50PM." At the same time the info on main screen will be updated to "last update:29 min ago" from "last update 12 h ago" (see picture) Questions: 1, Why "update at logon " is disabled by default??? 2.Why the main screen doesn't display the accurate "last update" time? 3. When I point the mouse on ESET icon on taskbar , I get the version number (which changes several times per year, maybe). Wouldn't be more useful to get "last update time"???? Thanks!

Then so be it: let's continue blabbering about how ESET is the best thing since sliced bread and how the rest are using "propaganda" to justify their existence...

itman, I am talking about decency here....

It is not about liking or disliking ESET, but comments from a senior contributor , like " Microsoft security propaganda grows exponentially with each passing day" when in fact Defender from Microsoft performed better than ESET in the last 12 months in various third party test , should be sanctioned by you.

Propaganda or not, Windows Defender (from Microsoft) scored 100% on latest AV Comparatives, while ESET only 98.5%.

Either way, I cannot see a reason to " thanking ESET Developers and ESET Security Team " ; in fact if a malware was able to disable ESET, is a big failure...

V12 din not fix anything , was just an upgrade to the new version. V11 failed to detect " 10 VIRUSES " So, why exactly are you "thanking ESET Developers and ESET Security Team " ????

yes , but in the last AV Comparatives, ESET did not perform well (98.5%); for a regular user would be useful to have results from multiple third party testing entities. Hence the question about AV test.

The OP asked about AV Test participation , not about AV Comparatives.

This is a good idea and a long time sugestion ; all these mentioned above (Kaspersky, Avira, Avast,) and additional MSE , Bitdefender perform exceptionally well in third party test, with detection rates superior to 99.8% Adapt or be left behind.

OK, so what is the solution? Most of the software today use dynamic IP addressing , so is pointless to have rules based on IPs.

Any plans to give us option to use FQDN in firewall rules? Thanks!

https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/real-world-protection-test-september-2018-factsheet/ ESET ........................98.5% MSE (free)................100% Avast! (free)............100% BitDefender (free).....100%

Lately , a CD package has to be validated by the cashier on the point of purchase , in order to be able to activate it.

What is that a "packaged software"????

OK 6 months, then, from the same AV Comparatives: Real-World Protection Test February-June 2018 ESET compromised 0.9% MSE compromised 0.1% Real-World Protection Test July-November 2017 ESET compromised 0.9% MSE compromised 0.1%

ESET missed 1.6% of samples from 193, this means 3.088 Another scenario would be to imagine the same ratio on a million samples: this would be 16,000 misses. Usually the samples used in AV Comparatives are the new /fresh ,active , zero day. Who is interested to see if an antivirus will block a malware from 3 years ago for which everyone has a signature already????

I am crying for over 300CAD spent on various ESET licenses , when I see a free antivirus performing better. This is my involvement...
