That looks like a copycat of the old (v8) one The GUI in V9 is brand new...and it's actually quite nice once you learn the ins and outs of it. Personally, I wouldn't have minded if they had kept the old one (v8 and earlier) since it was close to perfect in my eyes. But the new one isn't bad either.

Ah right. Thank you Peter and Martin

Interesting. Are you sure ? It wasn't enabled for me when I was in the Advanced Setup window. I don't use SSL scanning, so if it would have been enabled I would have disabled it, but I didn't need to do that as it was disabled by default for me. Maybe it depends on what OS you install ESET on ? SSL scanning is turned on by default, except for Windows XP There we go, that explains it. Thank you Martin

Because ? And help with what exactly ? Do you even know why the RAM usage is like it is ? (sorry for only quoting one of your requests...I simply don't have time to ask questions about each one) No, rugk doesn't hate you, don't be silly kakashi. It's just that we are all concerned about what would happen with the products if you were head of development at ESET. ESET could easily loose over 50% of their user-base if they did a 360 with their product lineup, and started to offer something totally different. If we would go over to Kaspersky's, Symantec's, Bitdefender's, Avast's, Webroot's etc etc... forum and copy your post and paste it there, do you think they would appreciate it, or not ? (People use their products (just like ESET) because they like them, not because they want the products to become something totally different.) Why do you even use ESET if you don't like it and want it to change so badly ? There are over a 100 other AVs you can try out if you like, maybe one of them will suit you better.

So Beta 9 is here...I have only installed in on the XP box so far, but I haven't used the computer so I don't know how it will run when I actually do things yet. But I thought I could write a bit about my first impressions as things has changed quite a lot, especially the new makeup ESET put on its face At first I thought "hmmm ok I can get used to this GUI"...but later on the 3'rd time I went into the Advanced Setup I felt at home right way. The opening and closing of the sections feel practical enough. So as a whole, I think the new GUI design is fine. At least I am very happy that they didn't make it Black or very dark like Bitdefender for example, that would be terrible. I am also happy that ESS still can be considered bloat free. I have seen elsewhere that some think the GUI is "too big" and there's too much unused background space, well IMO that depends where you are in the GUI. For example, if you are at "Tools" you have some unused background space underneath, but if you click on "More tools" all that unused space fill up with icons. I really hope they don't make it smaller as that would only result in that we have to scroll much more, instead of clicking. And the "Advanced Setup" window is the same size as the main gui, and I don't feel shrinking it would result in an easier to use GUI. The size is good as it is. I rather navigate the GUI by clicking through it, than scroll through it. 1. I notice we got 3 new modules.... LiveGrid communication module, Configuration module, and Banking & Payment protection module. Virus signature database: 11704P (20150529) Rapid Response module: 6090 (20150529) Update module: 1059 (20150505) Antivirus and antispyware scanner module: 1457 (20150527) Advanced heuristics module: 1154 (20150129) Archive support module: 1227 (20150511) Cleaner module: 1109 (20150519) Anti-Stealth support module: 1077 (20150520) Personal firewall module: 1272B (20150525) ESET SysInspector module: 1246 (20150121) Real-time file system protection module: 1009 (20130301) Translation support module: 1350B (20150522) HIPS support module: 1181B (20150525) Internet protection module: 1200B (20150513) Web content filter module: 1040 (20150506) Advanced antispam module: 2314P (20150529) Database module: 1066 (20150525) Configuration module (33): 1117B (20150522) LiveGrid communication module: 1019 (20141104) Specialized cleaner module: 1010 (20141118) Banking & payment protection module: 1028 (20150528) 2. I notice egui.exe now uses 35mb and not 5mb as V8. And ekrn.exe sit at 130mb. 3. I see that the "Active Mode" under "Web access protection" in the Advanced Setup for e.g browsers is gone now. 4. "About" is gone from the main GUI and put under "help and support", but still easy to access from the tray menu as always. 5. Anyone remember "Update now" ? Guess what...It is back in the tray menu, it is now called "Virus signature database update...". (Perhaps the poll results had something to do with "update now" making a comeback ..https://forum.eset.com/topic/1651-tray-menu-options-poll/ ). Now, I don't remember the name but a new ESET process starts when you start "Banking & Payment protection" I will call it B&PP for short. And this B&PP process stayed in task manager even after I closed the browser. It wasn't resource hungry at all only 4-5mb. But shouldn't the B&PP process close down when I quit the browser ? That's all for now I guess....so far so good

@Marcos Maybe you could include the "known issues" list and "system requirements" in your OP so people can see it straight away ? Just a thought

Yeah I see the same here, no biggie I guess, but always good to find out why

This has been requested/discussed in the past several times. Afaik, considering that ESET is a highly integrated product, not only for simplicity but also for system performance, it might not be easy to do this in a good and easy way without ruining the product as we know it today. But then again, the Parental Control and a few of the other features that some users might disable/enable does not use that much additional disk space. I have always had Parental Control disabled and it works fine like this. Personally, I would like to keep it as it is, unless there are good benefits that I don't know about that overweigh the current product concept of having everything tightly integrated. Edit: P.R. was a bit faster.....

Hey Peter, nice seeing you again. That's lovely, then it might be better to be prepared for the "ahhh I don't like the new GUI" comments But the reality is you can't please everyone, that's impossible. And I'm sure most people will get used to it after some time, if not directly. Sounds great Peter, we can't wait to give it a test ride.

You are posting in the Beta forum section now, what changes do you think is needed ?

Exciting times If the GUI stays the same or similar, be prepared for the "ahhh the GUI looks so old and dated" comments.

Which version of ESET ? Incase you use an earlier build you could try the latest one which is 8.0.312 When you uninstalled, did you on any of the 5 uninstalls try using the uninstaller in safe-mode ? hxxp://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN2289&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US&searchid=1432526635151#Win_7

Yeah I don't think you will receive any VSD or module updates unless you activate. Click on "activate your product..." in the tray menu. And use the "Activate using a Username and Password" option.

It indeed does, I didn't have time to research more about the url yesterday I only posted it and logged out. If anything is hilarious, it must be that a person saying he is a "Senior Information Security Researcher" didn't bother to research more about the website itself before shouting out about it. hxxp://malwaretips.com/threads/a-hilarious-eset-broken-authentication-vulnerability.46023/#post-386449

ESET and Intel Security (McAfee) is not associated in any way. Hmmm maybe you forgot to uncheck the McAfee offer while updating Adobe Flash Player on the Adobe website.

Just click "OK" and be done with it, that your GUI is more orange than usual at the moment is fine nothing to worry about

https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/emsisoft-anti-malware-emsisoft-internet-security-10-available.376071/#post-2489771 The Emsisoft method seems good. I reckon it's better and safer to wait a couple of minutes to make sure it works for all users, than the product tries to update immediately which may result in a failed update for some, and wait another 59min or so for the next automatic update check. (Unless the user perform a manual update right after the failed update.) Though that is at boot, not sure how they do it at "wake from sleep" but I guess it's similar.
