How does ESET's web access protection & antiphishing protection check the URLs the user visits?
Is this done online (i.e. all visited URLs are transmitted to one of ESET's servers)
or offline (i.e. the URLs are just compared with the offline virus databases).
Does it make a difference whether LiveGrid is enabled or not ?
Offline comparison would be similar to what Firefox does (it downloads a list of
malicious URLs and then compares the URLs you visit with its offline list).
Take a look here:
hxxp://blog.emsisoft.com/2015/05/10/emsisoft-anti-malware-emsisoft-internet-security-10-available-2/
They claim:
"9 out of 11 well known antivirus/anti-malware products track and submit all your visited websites to some far-away server [...]"
which is of course a rather bold claim and i hope that this can be dismissed as "marketing"
So, what about ESET
Thank you and cheers

[...] Is it safe (in terms of reliabilityissues) to use ESET's Exploit Blocker along with EMET or MBAE? [...]
I would be interested in an official answer to that as well
Thanks in advance!

Yes, I'm not going to change the in-depth scan into a smart scan I was just asking for the sake of knowing the differences
Thanks again,

Thank you for your quick reply. It is all becoming clearer now
If I understand you correctly, If I enable the "Enable Smart Optimization" option in the "In-Depth-Scan" profile,
that would mean that this profile is then practically the same as the "Smart Scan" Profile (i.e. there would be no more
difference between the profiles) ?

Dear users,
in order to improve our products and to tailor them better to your needs, we've prepared a short survey to find out which of the tray menu options (displayed after clicking the ESET's icon in the tray menu by the clock) you use most and what options you would like to be added to make performing frequent tasks quicker.
Best regards,
your ESET team
Wow, I'm quite new and have just bought a license,
but it is really refreshing to see that the developers actually care about the usabillity of the
product and that they do ask their users. After disappointing experiences with other AV companies
with their bloated products, poor user interfaces, and their contempt shown for their users (as in "we do not care about
what our users want, just buy our product and STFU") this makes me quite hopeful that I have finally found a vendor different
from the others (as in "we do care about our users")

Hi,
could anyone kindly explain to me the differences between the different scan types:
- "Smart Scan"
- "In-depth Scan"
- "Custom Scan"
If I was to set the ThreadSense parameters to exactly the same values
in both the "Smart Scan" and "In-depth Scan" profiles
(under Settings-->Computer-->Antivirus and Antispyware-->
On-demand computer scan-->ThreatSense engine parameter setup),
would there be any difference left between these two scan types?
I have read the help on that subject, but unfortunately I'm still somewhat puzzled
Thank you in advance and kind regards

How does ESET check URLs - online or offline ?
in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium

Thank you for your reply.
Could you please elaborate a bit on what you mean by "if needed"?
Does that mean that URLs are usually checked offline against the virus databases
and then, ONLY if something looks suspicious, are checked online in addition?
Or does that mean that all URLs are ALWAYS chekced offline AND online?
Thanks again!
