On Android Device it is not possible to run firewall and it is not necessary to run, because of some restrictions. To run firewall it is necessary to root device. Backup is also a part of security and we can’t say that it is not necessary but we can say it's expensive. On Wikipedia are mistakes, I have read several scientific articles and some dates were wrong.

I have some files that are threats and need to be analysed, Eset Smart Security does not detect these files, where can I post these files?

Eset Online Scanner was not upgraded from a long time, it is necessary to upgrade more often, to introduce new malware detection technologies and for be more powerful at threat detection.

I have notice that when a PUA is detected by Eset and a warning window is displayed, if I press ‘’No Action’’ button, file cannot be run, this should be revise. I propose to be added in Advanced Settings a setting that block PUA to download (this setting can be optional, user can decide to activate it or not.) Also when Internet Explorer is open in Metro Mode, Eset display notification, when a PUA was detected, on desktop, in future Eset should display a notification in Metro Mode of Internet Explorer. Have a question: I run Windows 8.1 update, I have installed Eset Smart Security 7, when I log in to computer Eset Logo do not appear immediately but with a delay, it is normal that, or Eset Smart Security does not work good?

Hello, I have some improvements and suggestions for future Eset Mobile Security for Android. I like Eset Mobile Security 3, it is a very good antivirus. In Anti-Theft section for full optimization (5 stars) it is necessary to be on always GPS and Mobile Data, this is not good. If GPS and Mobile data are always on battery of smartphone will drain more quickly and privacy of user decrease because some applications may use GPS for localise mobile device, and last but not least invoice for Mobile Data will increase. This thing must be changed. I propose to add a SMS command that will enable GPS and Mobile Data. User can send a SMS command to enable GPS and Mobile Data if smartphone was lost or stolen and automatic enable GPS and Mobile Data when SIM was changed. Database from Eset Mobile Security 3 indicates after last update version 4805, on hxxp://www.virus-radar.com indicated version is 1809. This thing make confusion, database from Eset Mobile Security 3 should coincide with version displayed on virus-radar.com. New versions of Eset Mobile Security first are launched on google play and then on official site. In future it is necessary that first new versions and beta versions appear on official site than on google play. Eset Mobile Security 3 should improve send SMS when SIM was changed and indicate the phone number (in international format for example). My.eset.com should have possibility to run more tasks for example: run a security scan, check license status of mobile devices, etc. In next version of Eset Mobile Security for Android will be necessary to add a feature that scan and decrypt files encrypted by ransomware. Eset Mobile Security need to ad option to delete antivirus logs or to add a configuration for delete logs at number of 10, 20, 40, and 60. In section Audi Security Eset need to develop something own for privacy advice not to use android displayed information from applications. For be more interesting Icons from main window (Antivirus, Anti-Theft, SMS and Call Filtre, Anti-Phising, Security Audi, Settings) need to indicate status by color, icons not remain grey but indicates green, yellow, red security status. Eset Mobile Security for android need to take actions more automatic (automatic put in quarantine or uninstall infected application, files etc.) Eset Mobile Security should have different modes (Standard, Advanced, Automatic), Standard Mode for classic use and for the most users, Advanced Mode for advanced users with detailed features, extra settings, extra protection; Automatic Mode for best automatic use with recommended settings and take decisions without any actions from user. On Eset Mobile Security the notification from bar would be interesting as on computer (with active elements). Icon from notification bar to indicate directly the level of security, through the colours. On computer Eset has the option (In tools) to send a file to analyse. This option would be useful on Android, to send a suspect or possible false positive to analyse. Eset Mobile Security is necessary to have the following interesting features: 1.Network Control (Measuring input and output data traffic, impose a monthly limit (user-defined) for 3 g data.) 2.Blocking Applications (with a pin code or a gesture) 3.Determination of Advertisements (detects ads and provides complete data tracking) 4. Recovering data from your phone remotely (files, notes, applications, video) 5. The Geographic Perimeter ( The phone performs certain actions (lock, siren, transmitting location) when phone is outside from perimeter. For example: go to a coffee shop and activate the option with a perimeter of 500 meters, so that if someone steals your phone and takes it beyond this perimeter feature activates the specified action.) 6. Web Storage (would be useful for data security and backup) 7. Web Console (Instant overview of security status and all functions performed on your device(s) ) 8. Check device’s battery life remotely, update remotely from my.eset.com 9. Parental Control (With the help of Cloud) to be blocked sites by category (drugs, weapons, known viruses, etc.). In Audi-security would be useful a feature that detect if there are programs (applications) that can interfere with Eset Mobile Security. Also would be useful an option to detect vulnerabilities for example: protection against vulnerability type "Master Key", exploit, and unsafe settings from browsers and from applications. Eset Mobile Security would be interesting to have the possibility to activate functions, when you shake the phone such as: Update, Task Killer, clean cookies or browser remains, etc. An important component for Eset Mobile Security would be Anti Format protection. The mobile device may be vulnerable in front of formatting if it's plugged into a computer. An attacker specialize in computer programs can connect your phone to computer and can format the whole device, this thing should be combated. At Eset Mobile Security Data encryption should be added and feature to create VPN (Virtual Private Network). Scanning options (fast, smart, Deep) should have detailed customization options for greater customization. Heuristic-based scan need to be added to detect threats not only on the basis of signatures but also be basis of behaviour. Section Settings has few functions, should be added for example control of graphical interface, control dynamic icons. Option to scan a file or directory is not present, this is not very good. Protection option against potential applications that containing spyware and infringe user privacy should be added. Anti-Theft should have a feature to phone back, It mean if phone is stolen then can be sent a command that would allow the phone to call you back to listen what happens around. Eset Mobile Security does not scan SMS from spam, virus, etc. Eset Mobile Security is necessary to scan your SMS (sent and received.) Updates should have a profile (more profiles) special for roaming, for a successful update in roaming. Eset Mobile Security would be good to have Network Protection (protection of networks, especially public networks, from attacks). Remote updates are important be made from my.eset.com; When the SIM card is changed, Eset Mobile Security not always reported the device's location and phone number that belongs to an unauthorized SIM card. Eset would be good to have option that enable offline license activation. Eset Mobile Security today is protected (the settings) of a password. In the future if it is possible, it would be better to be added the option to scan your finger footprint (finger scan) to have aces faster to settings and to enhance security. Eset Mobile Security would be good to have a night mode (this way to be able to optimize processes and settings at night for minimum battery consumption.) The version of Eset Mobile Security for Windows Phone (Now is new version of windows phone 8.1 and this version need to be secured) has not been upgraded for a long time. For a protective efficiency upgrade to new version supposed to be done every year at all versions from Eset. Eset does not have version for IOS, IOS also need to be secured, in future can be added a version for IOS. Thank You!

Eset Nod32 antivirus for linux was not upgraded for a long time, it is necessary to upgrade (v5 launch) and to add firewall, antispam etc. for better protection.

I think that would be useful if Eset has possibility to run other tasks remote, not only related to license ex: update, run scan, etc.

To name the recently introduced technologies: Advanced memory scanner, Exploit blocker, Vulnerability shield, LiveGrid (instant cloud blocking), continually improved advanced heuristics in terms of detection and performance. As you can see, ESET puts a lot of effort into technologies that bring actual benefits to users. Developing each technology takes a lot of resources and time. The number of features doesn't matter; what matters is how good protection, safety (false positives) and footprint a security product can offer. Introducing 20-30 or more new features not bringing any actual benefits for users would be wasting of time and resources. If you think that ESET lacks protection against some kind of malware or other threats, please let us know and we'll look into it. Yes it is true, it is not important quantity but quality. Eset strengthened actual components. Thank You! For advice.

Yes, it is important that Eset concentrated to some points but if will spin in circles, progress will be not so good. It is good to work for improve actual technologies but it is necessary to launch may be few new technologies. I really like that Eset work good at false positive chapter and in latest tests Eset have almost no false positive detected. Sorry for my mode of writing, I accustomed to write and read in this mode. To be honest I like Eset as it is and I will continue to use many years before.

and most of the rest are ideas that would make the products unnecessarily bloated or they are not good or safe ideas (e.g. ESET cannot remove PUAs automatically by default for legal and safety reasons) and ESET won't include them in future versions of the products. Thanks, now I don't need to mention this myself. As for many of the suggestions, have all of them in ONE product is not my cup of tea. And there is already several good online services (cloud backup etc..), and/or stand-alone applications that you can download and use for one or several of the suggestions. Some of this features can be added in a separate version of Eset for home, a version with premium features but this depends from manufacturer if want or not to launch so version.

There are too many points to answer separately. As you wrote, some things are already in the product (e.g. drivers and ekrn.exe starts as soon as possible, Linux-based LiveRescue not requiring AIK, etc.) and most of the rest are ideas that would make the products unnecessarily bloated or they are not good or safe ideas (e.g. ESET cannot remove PUAs automatically by default for legal and safety reasons) and ESET won't include them in future versions of the products.

This is true, the user is seeing the gui open, not services start. There is a strict cleaning option. ESET isnt a datacenter or hosting company. There is already graphics adjustments. It already looks for conflicting drivers and warns during installation. Many of these are already available, the user just doesn't have the product knowledge. A nicer, more organized, and utilization of forum tools would also help us read those, its discombobulated . Yes, I know that some features already are in Eset Smart Security but I focused on features that are not, I know Eset Smart Security well and use it over 4 years, I rephrased some existing features. To create a sysrescue disk from Eset Smart Security it is necessary to have Windows AIK installed on computer, I referred to Eset Sysrescue from Eset Smart Security not Sysrescue linux based. About graphic, Eset GUI at version 7 looks like version 6 GUI and at Advanced Settings graphical interface it is not optimized for windows 8 touchscreen devices, it is necessary to change mode of display Advanced Settings.

Hello, I have some interesting features and suggestions for Next Eset Smart Security I observe that Eset Smart Security is not executed immediately or before run operating system, in present is a little delay at run of Eset Smart Security , in future would be good that Eset Smart Security to start as soon as possible even in boot sector. Eset Smart Security display every time pop-up windows at detection of adware or potential unwanted (unsafe) applications, Eset Smart Security should try to clean adware or take automatic optimum decision, also if it is find a program that contain adware Eset Smart Security should clean only adware (if it is possible) not to uninstall whole application. Eset would be good that make available to change graphical interface from advanced settings or to change automatic graphic after new version. Eset should create a cloud system storage with virtual space (in cloud) for files, photos, documents, backup. This cloud system storage would be very useful and safe for users which want to have access at all files, photos, etc. from many devices that have installed Eset Security Solutions. This cloud services should be included in Eset Smart Security 8. Eset Smart Security should have possibility to set scan priority (low, normal, high) for short time scan (reduce time for whole system scan) and for customised system resources consumption. Eset Smart Security is necessary to have Auto Mode, when activate, Eset take optimum decisions without requiring user intervention and without requiring any action from the user. Eset Smart Security should have a feature that check and advice user if in computer are installed programs (applications) that can interfere with Eset Smart Security. For speed up scan, when PC is connected to the internet Eset would be good to use cloud database and behavioural analysis of malware. For stronger malware removal should strengthened repair and delete capacity with File Shredder or method Gutmann. Eset Smart Security should have in Tools a tool that scan Windows, registry, files, applications, etc. if were not damaged or modified of malware, also check if not has been deleted a file or registry key that would cause errors or impairs the functioning of the system. In section Schedule should be added possibility to schedule scan at each 10, 15, 30 start of computer or define a scan data and execute scan with first start of computer (ex: 05.04.14 full system scan at first computer start). Would be good if Eset make available license packs with unlimited number of devices. Eset would be interesting if have a world interactive map (cyber map) where to be represent in real time, based on Eset Live-Grid, attacks by type (Intrusion, Spam, Vulnerability, On-Demand, etc.). Eset Smart Security should have Sandbox (for browser) for run suspected or sensible sites, also Safe Pay (Keeps hackers at bay by automatically opening all online banking pages in a separate, secure browser, and keeps all necessary credentials safe and within your reach.). Eset Smart Security would be good to have Safe Search to check display results (safe or unsafe) of search in Google and Bing. Eset Sysrescue should be simplified, in present must be installed Windows AIK for create a rescue disk, in future would be good to can run Sysrescue without need to install Windows AIK. In a computer with big files a whole system scan lasts about 4 hours, scan speed should be improved. In version 7 of Eset Smart Security capacity of response is low, program freeze when a full system scan with log runs, capacity of response should be improved for run without slow down even the computer is old. Eset Smart Security in Tools would be good to add a tool that check potentially vulnerabilities from sites (When user want to view if site that often access is or not vulnerable at attacks). Eset should have a premium feature, Password Manager (stores, password management) this feature would have function of generate and stores user’s passwords. Eset Smart Security should have Security Vault for encrypt with password the most valuable or personal data. Network Threat Protection would be good to be in Eset Smart Security. For considerable energy savings or battery savings Eset should add Power Saving Mode. One of interesting feature that should be ad is Wallet (Stores your sensitive credentials and automatically logs you in to all your favourite websites emails and apps.) Eset should have Anti-Piracy (Check license if is genuine or pirated). Eset warns if operating system is not up-to-date, would be good as Eset warns if programs installed on computer are not up-to-date. Eset would be good to have a Gold Version to provide ultimate protection with premium services and extra features. Eset Smart Security should add in Tools a tool named Deep Rootkit Scanner, this tool would be useful to detect sophisticated and well hide rootkits. Eset should add Network Mapping Monitor (Display and monitor devices that are connected in home network besides base PC. Prevent unauthorized connection of devices at Home Network.). In Eset Smart Security Firewall does not secure protocol IPV 6, all protocols and ports must be maximum secured. For more beautiful design in Graphic Setting would be good to add dynamic control of all icons and active control elements. Eset Social Media Scanner Should have possibility to block pages with ads, public pages, groups etc. Eset Social Media Scanner must have a feature that control accounts, pages, posts, content, etc. (User defined rules ex: Block adult content, block defraud pages; like Control Parental for Facebook). Eset Social Media Scanner Should check if profile image of user or personal data were or not used at other accounts, and check if user’s profile photo is or not used like profile photo at other account. Eset Smart Security when find an infected file displays multiple notifications as file was cleaned or placed in quarantine, but not always files are really cleaned or placed in quarantine (sometimes files remains), clean capacity should be increased. Eset Smart Security is too heavy with system, when is introduced a removable device with many files, when Eset automatic scan this device Eset become unresponsive and freeze. While Eset scans removable device is difficult to run files that are on device. Performance should be improved. Would be good to add my.eset.com Dashboard (See all the status and licensing information about software and services in your own my.eset.com dashboard. Remote scan and fix security issues on all your Eset-protected devices from anywhere using my.eset.com. Eset Smart Security should have Anti-Banner (Protection, filtering publicity banners). Eset Smart Security Would be good to have Secure Keyboard for more protection against Keyloggs. Eset would be good to have Start-Up Manager (Manage all tasks, applications that starts with windows). Eset Smart Security must add Chat Encryption (Keeps your conversations private on Yahoo, messenger, Mail, Social Network, etc. Eset Smart Security should have various profiles which are optimized for different activities. For example: 4 profiles, profile standard (standard settings, tasks, and activities), profile gaming (optimising settings, activities, tasks for gaming.), profile Power Saver (optimiser tasks, settings, activities for maximum energy savings.), profile Advanced (premium settings, activities, maximum power, ultimate protection by additional parameters). At Eset Smart Security Advanced Settings must be optimised (changed) such that can be accessed easily from windows 8 tablets and from touch screen devices. Eset Smart Security would be good to have a Self-Repair feature (this feature auto repair Eset Smart Security or provide user repair methods from errors missing files, drivers or malfunction). In AutoScan from Eset Smart Security would be good to introduce Scan Automatically Mapped Network Devices, also keyloggs scan would be good to add. Eset Smart Security should have a feature (tool) that safe decrypt files in case if computer is infected with Ransomware and offer good shield against Ransomware. Eset Smart Security it is necessary to have a tool that create a secure network connection, VPN (Virtual Private Network). Eset Smart Security would be good to have Live-Grid Statistics (Display number of safe files and infected files that were collected by cloud). When new version of Eset Smart Security will come, hope that GUI will be improved.
