[Eset Smart Security And Eset Nod32 Antivirus 8 Beta Available]

The only GUI change I was hoping for was an "Update" button/link on the right click menu of the tray icon. As for more features, I for one do not want the kitchen sink in the NOD32 product. IMO, kitchen sinks belong in suite type products (which I avoid).

[Temporarily disable protection bug?]

New Version 7.0.302.26 Installation on WIn 7 SP 1 Home Premuim 64-bit

 

When I turn protection back on, Anti-Phishing doesn't turn back on. It's checked in the Advanced Setup but still shows as Disabled on the Setup screen.

 

Is this a bug anyone has??

If the file is already detected (which probably is as you mentioned the name Win32/Kryptik.BRKV), v6 and v7 must detect it upon execution as they both already had advanced heuristics enabled on file execution. With older versions where this option was disabled by default, it was possible to get infected (e.g. if one disabled protection modules and downloaded malware). I'd suggest sending the file along with your product configuration exported to xml to ESET as per the instructions here.

 

Just looking for some clarification...

 

I checked my new version 7 install and verified that indeed, advanced heuristics on file execution are enabled by default.

 

I assume that the algorithms used for these choices (beginging with version 6) were greatly improved over version 5? I remember from the old NOD32 forum this being a big, sticky issue back then. Advanced heuristics on file execution were definitely not on by default back then. (Based on this thread, sounds like it's now an important thing to leave on!)

 

BTW, the help file bundled with version 7 explicitly says that advanced heuristics on file execution are disabled by default. You might wish to correct it...
