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. -

Nightowl replied to MrWhispers's topic in Malware Finding and Cleaning
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

Version Internetsecurity 12.0.27.0
Nightowl replied to galaxy's topic in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
I think ESET since v1 is a great innovation, atleast it gave me the opportunity to stop using resource-hungry Norton , it was the only 'light' AV available back in the time. And now we are v12 , Thank you ESET. -
It's worth buying ESET , buy it, they deserve the money.

@eset32, I am sorry but I can't find any drivers for your CPU in AMD website. EDIT : My mistake , I see you have a dedicated GPU card, Search for the AMD HD 3200 drivers in the AMD Drivers page , and update it and see if it still crashes or make more troubles , updating through Device Manager doesn't always show that there are updates available , you could get them from AMD Drivers page. Is that a laptop or a desktop? 2nd EDIT : I only see 3200 as Mobility chip (laptop) , but even though Windows 10 is not supported in AMD Drivers page , I think because it's an old GPU and it's not supported anymore , because the latest drivers for it were released in 2013 for Windows 8 , that's an old laptop right?
