Linux Home User NOD32 EOL options.
Nightowl replied to homeuser's topic in ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Linux Desktop
I believe so the v8 for Home edition will be released some time , but it would have a minimal GUI , I believe by the time the GUI will be better , but I think the Business part is more important to them as mostly that where most of their customers are in the Business part , but I believe after that when the Endpoint v8 for Linux Business get a proper GUI , it will be imported to Home edition and then released to Public , but I wonder when that will happen. As I also don't use ESET Protect but I need the Linux v8 -
I remember it a lot! and I love this NOD32 I wish I can go back to these times , I kept trying lot of AVs that time , but normally I would use Norton but that time it was so heavy that I had to move to a light AV which was NOD32 and till this day I never moved again

Reputation of Programs.
Nightowl replied to New_Style_xd's topic in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
You can switch it with an open source alternative like Qbittorrent or Deluge , they have a better reputation and no PUA detection. -
Questions about Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware
Nightowl replied to chrisjordan's topic in Malware Finding and Cleaning
I can't understand honestly what you mean by Transcript , but from my own experience , ESET is better than Windows Defender in lot of places , and for the false-positive scoring , ESET always score good with FPs at minimum rate , while Defender has much higher FP rate In ESET you can configure it to not touch the PUA(Possibly Unwanted Applications) , torrents and miners will be mostly detected as PUA , unless the detected miner is a malicious one(runs without the user's knowledge/permission) you can switch to an open source torrent client , which can take off the PUA detection because the open source ones won't use toolbars or other bad things. -

Hello , I don't work for ESET so I cannot really know these information -
Disable PROGRAM UPDATE
Nightowl replied to Rose's topic in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
You are right , when there is a security issue or stability issue , ESET will just force the update to all most probably , but as Marcos said , if it's a feature update it can be delayed , deferred -
Eset Endpoint Security on Windows Server 2019
Nightowl replied to MarianL's topic in ESET Endpoint Products
You can combine Server Security with Windows Firewall, or this isn't in your options? As Marcos mentioned that it's not tested on Windows Server and it could possibly make problems for your Windows Server , especially the Firewall part since it's not tested on Windows Server environments. -
It happened to me also , you should be prompted for an Application Modified notification , you should press Keep Rules and remember action , it's because Chrome has updated , ESET has detected that something has changed. Is your HIPS set as Smart Mode by chance? Keep the GUI of the ESET opened , close Chrome completely and re-open it , Endpoint should prompt you with a notification that Chrome.exe has changed , if you want to keep it's rules as they are or disable them. Another browsers should have no issue to access the internet , Firefox , Edge etc.. I am sorry , I typed wrong , HIPS is not responsible for it , Firewall is , there is an option of enable detection of application modification This is what preventing the Chrome from starting because it's waiting for your choice.

ESET can possible quarantine/remove the whole file and also can possibly try to clean it , but mostly when files get cleaned , they will eventually break somehow if I am not mistaken , anyway I don't like to install software on my devices that request to install other things like toolbars or another free softwares etc..

A potentially unwanted application (PUA) is a program that contains adware, installs toolbars, or has other unclear objectives. There are some situations where a user may feel that the benefits of a potentially unwanted application outweigh the risks. https://support.eset.com/en/kb2629-what-is-a-potentially-unwanted-application-or-potentially-unwanted-content You can switch DivX with VLC Media Player , you would get rid of those detections , VLC is safe and without adwares/toolbars.
