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:

This information was removed intentionally since the version of the detection engine doesn't matter much nowadays in the era of LiveGrid and streamed updates.
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!

Where have you been for the past 6-8 months or so?
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.
7 hours ago, TomFace said:The last update information (as in the ESET icon in the taskbar) has not been available since late v10 or early v11. That is old news.
Old news, but don't you think is more useful to see if ESET updated rather then the version????
7 hours ago, TomFace said:concerning update at log in, in the scheduler, I do believe it to be enabled in default
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!

That's a moral concept. Business ethics is for all practical purposes today some archaic concept
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...

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 tests , should be sanctioned by you.
itman, I am talking about decency here....

@novicewe kindly ask you to stop trolling. You were already warned before and we won't tolerate such behavior any more. If you don't like ESET and think that Windows Defender is better for you, you have the right to use it instead of ESET.

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

It could be after a database update ESET was able to detect the 10 threats , or ...maybe the malware was able to disable ESET ability to scan/realtime scan and detect the threats ...
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...

you fixed ESET by updating to v12 which then it was installed and i set it my way and it found 10 VIRUSES removed them...?
thanks
Dean.
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 " ????

they both do test AVs according to their test methods.
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.

Hello!
How planned to Free Eset Antivirus? Thats non-full function , thats is small protection free.
Kaspersky, Avira, Avast , and other have Free Antivirus. Can do you planned feature Eset Free ?
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.

In any case, it is not a feature that would be applicable to consumer based firewall solutions.
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!

ESET ........................98.5%
MSE (free)................100%
Avast! (free)............100%
BitDefender (free).....100%

Also those results should be for an extended period of time with a minimum of 6 months and preferably, a year
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%

193 URLs to me does not sound like a lot at all when there are potentially millions of malicious URLs
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????

Yet for some reason that only the gods seem to know, you are still very much involved within the ESET community.
I am crying for over 300CAD spent on various ESET licenses , when I see a free antivirus performing better.
This is my involvement...

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.
