    Are you happy with ESET?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi

    I have known  Eset as a company and their products for a long time, beginning from the days where they  had their " home " over at the wilders security forum. 
    For all that time,.... I have known Eset as a very professional and serious and most of all very committed  to their products and user base.  I have always had the impression of Eset as a very dedicated firm, and that has not changed over the years.  Do I trust the product, yes,  absolutely and without the slightest doubt .
    But as everyone know, then is security/trust of your system, or systems, much more than just one product, but Eset is definitely  a good start =)

    ....and now I have to work....:)

    Regards

    Hi

    Suggestion ...... : Anti-Theft included in NOD32

    Argumentation : I know that the Anti theft feature/service is a selling point for some of your top tier products, but i truly think that you will gain more in sales figures and goodwill if you let the " Anti Theft " feature be something that is incorporated in all of your products. Furthermore it will introduce a feature/service, for a product line like Nod32, that no other, for a similar product, will be able to offer for their users/potential customers as to my knowledge.  

    Regards

    Hi

    Suggestion.......: A second Eset Theme, (that you could choose eg. under Advanced settings)

    Argumentation : Beside the default color layout of the user interface it would be pleasant to have another Eset color theme layout . I have noticed that it can be a bit strenuous to the eyes to look at the white background especially when I have to navigate around the " Advance settings " . It would be pleasant with a more  calm and damped color combination.

    Hi Eset

    • Suggestion...... : QR-code Scanner in Eset Mobile Security. 
    • Argumentation: There is so many doubtful QR code scanners on the market, and it can be hard for normal users to see which one is the best or most secure. It would be nice if my Eset Mobile Security has an QR -code scanner build into the product,  or as a download for paying customer.

    Kind regards Janus

    A quick feedback to Eset

    Hey Eset
    I have been unfaithful ( in form of software :D) and been away from Eset for a while but you have always been with me in form of the mobile security which have safeguarded my family's phones very well. I have had some issues with the previous vendor that I used in form of serious incompatibilities problems, and I have had no time for trying to find the root of the issues due to a deadline/project. So what do you do? well.... you remember your old friends. And in that regard  I have to say that it was definitely a pleasant experience to see that my nod32 still runs with low memory footprint, and still have  the easy " install and forget " and in the same time you can still go into a total " nerd mode "  and configurate it to your likeing. The best part is,  that after I install nod32 on ours 3 machines that we use in our project, we have had absolutely zero issues. Thank you Eset,  you have saved us some time...and definitely less frustrations. 

    Regards

    Just two question about v.8

    in ESET NOD32 Antivirus

    Posted

    Hello foneil

    As I wrote in my pm, thanks for the kind words, they are very much appreciated. Foneil, did you noticed my second question in my original post? If not then it comes here as a copy and paste: " I saw that I still have to use the WAIK to create a sysrescue disk under the section "tools". But I can see that from your homepage I am able to create a live rescue disk based on linux. Why is it, that the sysrescue cd under the section "tools" is not linked to the live sysrescue cd/usb, that is in my perspective much easier to handle/create for an average "Home" user" . I am just wondering why Eset is still using WAIK in your product for home users. when you have created such a fine product as your live sysrescue cd.

    Kind regrads Janus =)

    Hey Arakasi, and thanks for your kind words  :) . But I guess I am not so much a forum man anymore, due to huge piles of lovely work. (  .. no I am not crazy, yet :blink: but I know it is concerning behaviour LOL). Just curious regarding my two questions. But it is really nice to know that,competent top users (and others) like you and SweX and Tomface is still around to guide and help. I hope Eset appreciate your effort, and ideas. But that , I am sure that they do.

     

    Take care..

    Just two question about v.8

    in ESET NOD32 Antivirus

    Posted

    I was somehow surprised to find this " Smart mode " in the H.I.P.S. module. Because it has always been my view, that Eset always has limited the users interaction, so that it was the software that took the decisions, more or less.

    But I really like the idea, if it is so, that Eset user could choose between classical H.I.P.S. functions, or a more restrained (limited ) behavior blocker in smart mode. I really like the idea of this duality. If it is so....

    Yeah I am fine and kicking SweX, after a fine summer =)

    Hey Eset
     

    Today I have updated my Eset to version 8, and in that regard I have some question, please. Is H.I.P.S. in smart mode more like a behaviour blocker, that  works of course in the boundary of the predefined rules. And does anyone have a screen shot of what the warning notification could look like. Second question goes more like this: I saw that I still have to use the WAIK to create a sysrescue disk under the section "tools". But I can see that from your homepage I am able to create a live rescue disk based on linux. Why is it, that the sysrescue cd under the section "tools" is not linked to the live sysrescue cd/usb, that is in my perspective much easier to handle/create for an average "Home" user.

     

    Kind Regards Janus ( A greeting to SweX, Arakasi and Tomface hope everything is well )    :)

    Eset Smart Security And Eset Nod32 Antivirus 8 Beta Available

    in ESET Beta Products for Home Users

    Posted

    Hey Eset, just a quick question, please =)

     

    Is the new botnet protection, an enhanced heuristics IDS algorithm, (enhanced detection system) that we find in the new beta version 8? (improved firewall function as eset calls it) I guess it works much like a behavior blocker, (or am i wrong it that assumption)  looking at suspicious behaviour. The only difference you can say, is that a true behaviour blocker depends more or less of user interaction.

    Will the new, extended protection capabilities of the Exploit blocker, warn Eset users when you have an outdated version of Java, Adobe Flash player/reader? ( likes you get a notification when new windows updates are available for the user ) That would be a great service towards the users, mainly because exploits happens mostly because users have an outdated version of e.g Java.

     

    Take care, regards Janus.

     

    In-depth scan skips most files

    in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium

    Posted

    First I removed ESS 7 from one of my systems and reinstalled it. Then I checked the ThreatSense settings of the scan profiles. Fortunately the smart optimization setting appeared to be enabled in the smart scan profile and disabled in the in-depth scan profile. However, when I pressed the "Default" button, the smart optimization setting of the in-depth scan profile was enabled automatically! This must be a bug!

     

    Hello

     

    We must presume that the downloaded version is configured in default settings, such as eset has thought its product. So using the default bottom should set the software back to the stage where is was, before it was tampered with. And...In my perspective this is a bug, and an unfortunately feature :-)))

    Done a Video to illustrate what we are talking about

    Herdprotect for advanced users...

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hello all :-)

     

    I stumble over this second option scanner, and have been testing it out a bit (2-3 days), and I am somehow impressed. It has 68 scan engines, its name is HerdProtect, and you can see it as a tool much like Hitmannpro and Virustotal. Herdprotect does not remove antimalware-adware, so it's not a substitute for proper security at all. It's as said, a second opinion scanner. It's still beta software, and it produce, not much, but still too many false positives after my liking . So you have to have the ability to distinguish between, what is false positives and what could be malware before you use this software. I would say that this tool, is definitely for more advanced users, mainly because it still produce too many false positives. But it has a great potential, and will without doubt be a strong contender to Virustotal. The file download is about 2 mb, and if you run windows 8 or 8.1, then it will need, net framework 3.5 which it will download if you accept it, of course (it will take 3 to 5 minutes). If you explore their website a bit, you'll find a tab called "Knowledge Base". Here you are able, to upload file Hash - domain or URL/IP Addresses, , but it's not so complete as virustotal, and that's okay because Herdprotect hasn't been on the market for long. What is your thought about this tool and websites like these?, do they create more panic than they help  Link to HerdProtect. 

     

    Regards Janus...have a splendid and malware free day :-)))

    New ESET User with a stupid question

    Hello Dan and wellcome :-))

    No Eset does not advise to disabling or enabling "Smart Screen " it's entirely up to you.... eset will work fine whatever you choose, so don't worry.Regarding Enhanced Protected Mode, then is the answer the same as above. I am using IE 11 and I can guarantee you that you can choose whatever settings you what without Eset will interfere. I am using Ie 11 with enhanced protection mode, Activex filtering + smartscreen, and with 64 bit process to enhanced protection enabled, and it run in a perfectly symbiosis with Eset.

    Hello

    Thank you for your splendid explanation Arakasi, and sorry that I haven't answered before now. I were at the cinema to see the Hobbit with some friends. But your explanation gave me a Eureka moment of joy, that is so great, I really like those moments when you can see the big picture....Thanks to Marcos, and my friend Chris, which gave me the opportunity to get wiser :-))

    Exclude from detection is greyed out in Ie 11

    Hello

     

    I looked at the thread ccleaner by chrlshlmn, an noticed that in my answer to the OP question, that in my screen capture, the opportunity to check the box " Exclude for detection " were greyed out. So I went to Piriform to download the file again, and noticed that I for some reason still receive a notification where the box exclude from detection is greyed out. My system is Windows 8 pro 64 bit fully patched. Eset Smart Security version 7.0.302.26. Browser is Ie 11. I did a download of Firefox 26 to see if it was related to a specific browser. In Firefox it seems to work. The first popup in firefox, stops the download, I press " no action " but still the box is greyed out (Exclude from Detection). Then I proceed with the download, eset comes with the same window again in the end of the download, and it that window i get the opportunity to check the box, "Exclude from Detection "No other protection is running. Eset is in default mode except from that I have " Enabled detection of potentially unsafe applications " selected, of course. For now I have no idea why I can't seem to use this option in IE 11, ...with other words why the box it's greyed out...... Eset and other top users, can you figured it out ... I have create a small video, where I am trying to illustrate my point.

    License Renewal/Extension Question

    in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium

    Posted

    Hello Kent :-))

    If you have bought a new license code from a boxed set, and when you activate it, you will receive a new username and password that is tightly bound to the new license, and therefore can't be used to prolong an existing license with another password and username, when we are talking about boxed versions of Eset. If you have used one of Eset's local vendors then it is another story. Because here you have the opportunity to renew up to 90 days before your license expires,and 60 days after your license expires.Besides all this, then I really like your idea Kent, but I have no idea about how it could be administered, that we have to leave to someone else.

    Regards Janus

    Hey chrlshlmnn :-))

     

    The reason why eset keeps blocking CCleaner download from piriform, is because it contains a potentially unwanted program, in this case google toolbar. It is only meant as a extra service, to notify the user that the download contains something else, than is otherwise expected. You know, you always have the opportunity to press no action. I have downloaded ccleaner from piriform.com and it contains no malware whatsoever, just this PUA. (potentiel unwanted programs/software)
