[ESET SysRescue Media Creator Windows fails >8 GB drives]

ESET SysRescue Media Creator Windows fails >8 GB drives 

 

Failed on 16 GB drive, worked on 8 GB drive.

 

Now gonna try making media on 16 GB from the booted media.

[Scan Progress bar]

PLEASE READ MY PREVIOUS COMMENT.

I gave  the steps/algorithm required to make it accurate.

 

please read thoroughly.

[Scan Progress bar]

ALGORITHM for accurate progress bar:

1) Analyze the total size of files to scan, say 128 MB

2) Start the scan(In-depth or smart)

3) Suppose:    - IN-DEPTH scan gets 4 MB files scanned per second

                        - Smart scan gets 32 MB files scannned per second.

                        (since it's less thorough than in-depth)

(i) include time needed for archive scans in it. say it can scan 4 MB of an archive in in-depth &  16 MB in smart scan modes.

 

4) So, total time required:   -IN-DEPTH scan=128/4 sec= 32 sec

                                               -Smart scan=128/32 sec= 4 sec

 

5) Say the scan has been running for 2 sec now(time elapsed= 2sec).

     -- So, time left:    In-depth= 32-2= 30 sec

                                  Smart=4-2=2 sec

6) So, progress bar SHOULD SHOW:

      -- IN-DEPTH:  2/32*100= 6.25 % scan completed

                                                   30 sec left untill completion

    -- SMART: 2/4*100=50% scan completed

                                                  2 sec untill completion

 

 

 

 

SO, HOPE I GAVE AN ACCURATE ALGORITHM TO DISPLAY SCAN PROGRESS WITHOUT ANY HICCUP.

this won't get stuck on 99 %

 

It's real simple, I've just written it so gigantically to explain clearly.

U realize this algorithm is nothing harder than speed-distance-time problems that we used to solve in junor-high   

 

So, if u follow this algorithm, scan progress bar will be very accurate.

 

And hence provide users with a prediction when the scan will be complete & hence OFFER PEACE OF MIND TO UR CUSTOMERS.

 

***Tell me if u guys will add this feature...

**relate scan completion to ur girlfriend coming over.

How would u feel if u call ur girlfriend to come to ur home, and she just keeps on telling that he's/she's en-route, and she doesn't share where she is, 

and u have no idea how much more time she'll take.

 

turns out that she came home when u were abt to go to office.

[Another new update]

Yah, as it's not available for download at BETA DOWNLOADS or the normal Internet Security download webpage, it seems that the update is being rolled out via update patches only.

[Scan Progress bar]

 not showing scan progress bar, instead showing animated dots all the time(from 2016 onwards, version update).

We need scan progress bar & estimated time of completion.

 

Scanning algorithms are very light, and also READ speed from drives is less.

So scan is slower & less thorough.

Applies to all ESET products.

 

Plz elevate these issues ASAP.
