Hi,
Under Update settings, it is possible to select between default Regular update and Pre-release updates.
The ESET Guideline describes the Pre-release update feature as followed:
I have since yesterday changed my settings from Regular to Pre-release updates.
I have already version 8.0.312.0 installed.
What I can see, I have right now the following modules installed.
The only module which looks like "Pre-Release" is the Virus signature database and the Advanced antispam module.
Anyway, I have seen that virus signature databases are not released faster then the regular one. In my opinion this is not really important either due to the Grid-Live (Cloud) protection used by ESET products.
Is the pre-release update function only to get some new modules a bit faster? Like a "beta-test-light" or something like that?
How much time does it usually take from a pre-released update, until it is included in the regular update? Are there any statistics about it?
And finally, it is not recommended to use pre-release updates on production desktops. But has it ever occurred that a pre-release update actually created problems for some of the users?
