ccsetup548 detected as 'Suspicious Object'
Nightowl replied to Nightowl's topic in Malware Finding and Cleaning
I didn't know about it honestly , but that was a good read if you are interested : https://blog.avast.com/update-ccleaner-attackers-entered-via-teamviewer Are you sure that ESET doesn't filter PaleMoon? , but I don't think that matters , because the first block happened while the browser was trying to save the file , It didn't filter the website , but it did block the executable from being on the PC -
Hello, CCleaner is a trusted software as far as I know and it doesn't do any harm , could it be a false positive or my other computer did act up? I've tried both times on different PCs , but each PC gave a different result Laptop I have tried to download CCleaner and ESET has detected it as 'Suspicious Object' and blocked the download from being completed using Chrome and Edge, I have restored it from Quarantine , and I have installed it and ESET didn't warn me again about it after Restoring from Quarantine , and no I didn't exclude it. PC I have tried the download using PaleMoon , and it worked without any trouble without ESET blocking it Both computers do use 12.0.27.0 Internet Security.

Uninstall the device and remove driver files , and then install the one that you have downloaded from AMD site and see if it makes any differences

Win32/Bundled.Toolbar.Yandex.J
Nightowl replied to MrWhispers's topic in Malware Finding and Cleaning
It might be maybe because that uTorrent is known to host ads in their program, anyway it's better that you have switched. -
We all respect everyone , but it's up to the company to decide whether they want to release a free product or not, as others have said you can use Windows Defender as part of Windows Security , I think Windows 7 does have : https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/microsoftsecure/2013/11/14/windows-defender-and-microsoft-security-essentials-which-one-do-i-need/ but If you feel that you don't want to use what Windows 7 offers as Security , you have different other options to try like Kaspersky Free and the list goes on if you use Google 'Free Antivirus'

Just avoid software that will throw at you toolbars and ads/pop-ups. -
Warning about "https://list-cloud.com"
Nightowl replied to Ian Ng's topic in Malware Finding and Cleaning
For anyone interested in what is the browser(website) doing in the background you can download an add-on called uMatrix, it's similiar to NoScript also HTTPSEverywhere does help and improve web browsing. -

Software that gives you Ads/Pop-ups doesn't deserve to stay in your PC in my opinion , that's why stick to a torrent client that won't give you ads/toolbars/pop-ups , If you are used to uTorrent interface then Qbittorrent is based on it and open source , give it a try. -

It just means that they were able to block 100% of the widespread malicious samples used in a test.

Win32/Bundled.Toolbar.Yandex.J
Nightowl replied to MrWhispers's topic in Malware Finding and Cleaning
It would be better to install software that won't throw at you useless toolbars that would end up giving you ads or pop-ups , ditch uTorrent , there are better alternatives like Qbittorrent(based on uTorrent) or Deluge (open source). It made your setup crash because ESET tried to clean the toolbar from the installer , so the installer crashed. uTorrent uses that way to force you upgrading into a paid version where there are no ads/toolbars. -
Error: Torrent is not a valid Win32 application
Nightowl replied to dumbenis's topic in Malware Finding and Cleaning
Argh I didn't pay attention , Why are you still using Windows XP? Microsoft has dropped Windows XP support and doesn't release any updates for it. -

@MrWhispers, Are you browsing the internet using Steam? -
Error: Torrent is not a valid Win32 application
Nightowl replied to dumbenis's topic in Malware Finding and Cleaning
@dumbenis, Don't exclude uTorrent as it's not recommended because sometimes you might get malicious files through a torrent I don't know what is causing the problems you had , never had any problem with Torrents and ESET , but I do use a different torrent software , I do use Deluge(open-source, without ads and stuff that uTorrents add unless you bought it) and use magnet-urls for downloading the torrent or just download the torrent and run it in Deluge without any trouble Can you post a screenshot of the detection from ESET? EDIT : If you download Ubuntu torrent for a test, will it still get detected? - hxxp://releases.ubuntu.com/18.10/ubuntu-18.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent -
ESET Internet Security 2019
Nightowl replied to Clark T's topic in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
More changes/fixes should come in the next versions soon, but GUI changes I don't know about that. -
@alexander14, As posted by Marcos , ESET doesn't have any plans for a free-product , in another words it might be wasting your time creating and editing the images for that request because as far as I think they will not do it because they don't have this as planned feature , maybe if there are a lot of users who are requesting this , it might do something Free AV is good for bringing people to the brand and then tempting the user to upgrade to a paid version If you still insist that you want a free AV , I suggest you to try Kaspersky Free, but if you have some spare hryvnia to spend , then go for ESET Internet Security
