  1. As a matter of interest, internally ESET is not having any problems with either ESET firewall or Microsoft teams so there must exist a setup which will happily work.
  2. The original poster should get some translating assistance as all of this appears to be extremely confounding. It would help others to assist you in this issue. For example, mentioning Microsoft surface tablet 2005 when they clearly didn't start with that device until 2011/2012...and how does that even relate to the original issue?
  3. With every iteration of ms software, it bloats and bloats but fails to really improve. User functionality is reduced at the expense of adding extra garbage that could be eliminated. As for exchange, the end-user couldn't give a toss, they use the mailtool outlook and ANYTHING could be sitting behind that. Since switching to win10 (3 months), I have had 2 instances where my raid1 is re-synchronising. Previously, win7, I had 2 raid1 volumes and no re-synch in 4 years! Currently, it has been running re-synch since 8pm last night (13+ hours). Previously, I removed the mirror and recreated the volumes which was much faster. LVM on Linux synchs WAY faster. Windows and microfart are a closed-system blight on the tech world and the sooner it is up against the wall the better.
  4. Probably about time the world steered away from microspasm anyway.
  5. I don't get it. If the patch has gone last month, presumably this has closed the hole. In which case, how can these systems be exploited if patched?
  6. Specs: (sadly) win10, Ryzen7 3700, 32Gb DDR4, RX3700 (8GB), 1 x 512Gb PCIe4 SSD, 1 x 1TB PCIe4 SSD, 2 x 480GB SSD, 2 x 8TB HDD, 850W PSU, 32" 4K monitor... OS-less, I7 4700K, 16GB DDR3, 240GB SSD, 750GB HDD, 4 x 3TB HDD, R9 370... Sorry, were we comparing genitalia?
  7. I have a local account. I do not use online anytihng for this win10 debacle. I have SHUTUP switch off almost everything. I have no one drive, I have no microsoft accounts. microspasm have, over the years, clearly demonstrated their mistrust, disgust and lack of customer service for the very people who made them the global garbage patch they now are. As for a Linux recommendation, clearly, the front runner for new folk is Ubuntu. The GUI has evolved vastly over the years, it is stable, useful and easy to get to grips with. The standard desktop version contains all the workable software you would likely need. Installing more software is a doddle and there is a world of passionate, dedicated expert-like folk who will gladly offer any free assistance. There is NO activating online. There is (almost) no snooping - firefox, etc will have crash report info sent off but these things can easily be disabled. Almost everything you could want will be available as Open Source or GPL, etc so no worries about purchasing things. Virtualisation runs far better on the Linux platform than windows via KVM/QEMU. The only caveat that I have encountered is that cut/paste between host/guest and shared folders are a bit trickier to set up than would be the case with a windows setup. However, if you don't want a more hardware-centric virtualisation then you can still employ virtualbox which operates as well as virtualbox does anywhere. Software development tools do NOT require 10Gb or more of install as one gets with visual studio. By the same token, no registration is required such as microspasm force one into so they can spy on more of your activities. If one is a non-gaming user, Linux is ideal. If one is a business user, it could also be ideal but for the fact that the bulk of businesses use BackOffice tools - especially exchange/outlook; the latter of which has been altered so it is not so user-friendly any longer. I was weaned on UNIX (SYSV) and have been a ms/windows tech-type since MSDOS 3.x and windows 3. With every subsequent release, I have disliked windows less and UNIX-like more. The day windows is history will be a glorious day for the whole world! P.S. Once you feel confident enough you can even recompile your Linux kernel to streamline it to your tastes and speed-up your boot times. Personally, I have not recompiled a kernel since using Slakware but it is fun to try and would take far less time today than the 4-7 hours it used to take using pre-pentium intel chips back in 1993.
  8. Therein lies the strength of UNIX-like. If a thing is harder to get working, when it craps itself you know where to look and, more often, how to fix it. With microspasm, all you do is click click click and when it goes tits-up there is little or no way for end-users to fix it. There is a world of difference between treating the end-user like a responsible adult and treating the end-user like moronic cash-cow.
  9. Microsoft are intent on relegating the desktop PC into a -poor child of their crappy surface tablet. There is little or no point in promoting all this geoloating twaddle on a PC which is, for the most part, quite static in its movements. Laptops are not that mobile really, except for business types. Windows 10 is dire, intrusive, bland. If Linux could offer me better gaming options I'd blow windows out the door and not waste a minute more on it.
  10. Actually, you would. I said REPETITIVE. If the software has blocked an address there is absolutely NO reason to be notified that it blocked the same address again and again. If the address has indeed been blocked, what use for notifications? Repeated and similar notifications are redundant, annoying and intrusive. I fail to see the point in reinforcing previous postings just for the sake of posting.
  11. I think this may be the same request as I posted a couple of weeks back: excessive pop-ups regading the same addresses. Whatever you may say, it WOULD be most useful fo the end-user to be able to limit repetitive notifications for a specific, or base address.
  12. I was told to use 'learning mode'. Once that was enabled file-sharing worked (windows 7 to windows 10). However, no amount of fiddling and options is making KODI (win or pi) connect to the win10 shares. I cannot speak for how ESET acts with win7 compared to win10 but I had no problems connecting KODI to win7 shares and ESET was installed back then (before upgrade/rebuild) also. Does the eset firewall create a 'trusted zone' for local addresses (same subnet). I see that as a default that should happen.
  13. I, like MANY other home users, do NOT have an email client. How to disable annoying messages regarding non-existent email client protection?
  14. Now you are mixing site blocking with actual infections. Once again, the abillity to limit notifictions would be a nice feature, regardless of whether the user is an idiot, or someone that has half an idea they know what they are doing. Thanks anyway. I'll have done with it. This conversation is becoming circular.
  15. Logic 101: Is this site in the blocked list; TRUE/FALSE If FALSE add to list; show notify Set block TRUE
  16. Thanks but irrelevant. As I previously wrote, I KNOW what these site blocks are for. This entire post was about having the ability to limit repetitive notifications.
  17. I know exactly why this site has attempts on it. That is not the issue, is it? I know it is blocked and therefore would appreciate NOT being reminded of it on every occasion. The ability to limit notifications would be great.
  18. Ah...but if multiple, similar notifications are required then faith in the product is lacking. If confidence runs high for the NOD engine then what need for constant reminders? At the very least, an option - for the confident user - to run silent after one of a particular URL has been displayed would be nice.
  19. It would be a nice feature to have. The constant popups for blocked site, and even more for firewall rules are just an annoying overload.
  20. HI all, Network protection blocks a particular site. It blocks subsequent attempts to same site. Is there a way to prevent repeated messages for the same site? It is a chore to see 5 or more popups for the same site. Thanks
  21. Learning mode HAS opened the application for browsing. Thanks for that info.
  22. Well...for the previous 6 or more occasions I had 'advanced setup' open the window was not able to be resized. Since I changed to LEARNING MODE it now is. I'd hate to think that one was dependant on the other but it is an odd coincidence.
  23. Firewall rules window. It is either small or full screen. There is no in-between.
  24. Also....ARRRRGH! It would be GREAT if the ESET windows/boxes could be resized. Is this such a big ask? The ability to resize windows windows has been a thing for decades and yet now you deem this basic function redundant! WHY?
  25. Hulloa, Using ESET Internet Security under Windows 7 I didnt have this problem. Now, however, with the 'progress'of winspasm10 I find that what I could do with local fileshares and book library content, etc is no longer user-friendly. So, here's the scenario: Win10 (latest) Home router with remote IPs (0.0.0.0) accepted to port 8099 (forwarded to local 192.168.x.x address) port 8099. On the win10 system I create a firewall rule (and I have tried 'in' and 'both' directions) to accept any remote IP port 8099 to local IP port 8099 and, for good measure, I also specify the calibre application. Connections to this local book server are not possible except from the host via 'localhost:8099' URL. Coincidentally, I have another rule whose path is router - remote any:54321 -> win10 54321 win10 (ESET) - remote:54321 -> VirtualBox Guest:54321, torrentclient and do not have a problem with this setup. What am I missing here? I expect to allow an address and port without all this mucky muck of extremely granular setups. Thanks
