  1. Hey Alikhan

     

    A interesting question. Well it all depend on how you will define zero day protection abilities? I mean, is a behaviour blocker a zero day tool ? It is no better than the rules that is defined for it, and Hips is no better that the man sitting behind the screen? Sandbox is a strong zero day tool, but i I have seen some, who has let malware through the sandbox? My point is, focus on backup/ layered security such a image backup software, which have the ability to recreate your  whole system.This is in my perspective a strong zero day tool, and money well spent . And lastly, I will let Eset talk for them self , see this link : Zero-Day Attack

  2. Hello EnotslT

     

    Well, you can configure Eset to automatically check for new versions (updates) : How do I configure ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD32 Antivirus to regularly check for the latest product version?Do I have the latest version of ESET Remote Administrator / ESET endpoint products? ,or you can on regular basis check this site: Eset News. And lastly, you can always visited the nice people here at Eset Support Forum.

  3. Hello

     

    Well,.. I will just ecco what Alex,Swex and Arakasi has alredy said, but I will just add a small twist. If you should run into update issues, then it will be best, in my opinion, to first post your issue here, before trying to delete the update cache. It will, or can give Eset support, a better chance to troubleshoot the issue, to the update problem.

  4. Just a quick update, I uninstalled ESET and re-downloaded the installer (which was slightly bigger than the one I already had, despite being the same version!).

    After reinstalling, the file reputation is now working correctly, so thanks Janus for the suggestion :)

     

    Hey bentham

  5. Hey Again :-))

     

    I am using iE 11 , and personally I think that it is a secure browser. But be aware that not all websites are compatible with ie 11 yet. An example is this site. You can use the browser fine on this site, but if you what to copy and paste a link, then it is not possible  using ie 11. ( at the moment I am using Waterfox 64 bit browser on this site) But have fate my dear friend, Eset is aware of it. See this link . forum issues with IE 11 on Windows 8.1

  6. Hey

     

    A module update is the latest version of a part of your ESET security product, and an example could be ,improvements or corrections , most often to a specific module, such as the firewall module or cleaning module.These improvement is sent out automatically, and can be seen in your logs as a "module update".

    Hello BuzzSuffer and welcome

     

    There should be no problem at all, in adding a third licens. Just take contact to your local Eset distributor and explain the situation. I have done something similar and there was no problems in adding a exstra licens.

     

    Regards Janus

    Thanks for the reply Janus. Do you know whether you can do it online?

     

    Hey....

    No sorry,because there can be, small differences from country to country. So the best thing I can offer (when I don't know from what country you write from) is this link to Eset's official distributors/support. Link : hxxp://www.eset.com , so just give them a call/ email

  8. Hey....

     

    Eset Smart security v7.0.302.26 does not auto update when windows pro. 8.1 64 bit starts up. Windows is set to " go to desktop" when windows 8.1 starts . Internet connection is up and running before Eset, and everything is okay in Scheduler. Eset does update after an hour. At current moment, Eset shows vd. 9039 and when I check Eset Virus radar it should had updated to vs 9041 , when windows starts up. Tried to uninstall Eset and reinstall to see if that did a different (not that I thought it would do a different actually).No other security software is running, there might block the update function. Just in case I did a " ping update.eset.com into the command prompt " and as expected everthing was okay.

     

    Regards, Janus.... ups have to go :-))

  9. Hey Chrlshlmn

     

    Tried out "bitdefender 60 second scan" , with a couple of Trojans. It made me wonder. Did you know that "bitdefender 60 second scan" only offer detections of threats, (all is in the cloud) but do not offer any help to remove infections. It detects only, and then offer a link to one of its products, of course. I just write this in case that you were not aware of this....

  10. Hey my friend :-))

     

    The rule of thumb is, as you say, to only have one real time protection running.It will definitely minimize the probability for incompatibility issues. I have seen systems ,there had more than one real time system running, ..freeze, because both real time systems, were trying to catch the same  malware.( The end result was that the malware actually slipped through) You can of course, exclude the different real time scanners from each other, but my personal opinion is, that it is best to only have one Av solution running, and instead  have some good on demand scanners , (on a usb maybe) in your sleeve.

  11. Hey my friend :-))

     

    Hitman pro is in my opinion one of the best second opinion scanner available. I just use it as a on demand scanner, even though I have bought a 3 year license. (Bought the license to support them, because I had used their free service for so long). Regarding about potential incompatibilities issues with Eset, then I personally think that you will see no issues, but 100 % guarantee does never exist. If I were in your place now, then I would put your money back in the pocket, keep Hitman pro as a ondemand scanner for free. There are other on demand scanners like Emsisoft Emergency Kit wich are great to use and have on a usb.

  12. Hello Cosmo 32

     

    Thank you for sharing your setup. Much appreciated. I hope that this thread can lead to some inspiration for those who might not be so knowledgeable, yet. I mean, if just one reader get a "eureka" moment, like... oh yes, of course backup is essential layer to security, for my family pictures e.t.c. then it would be perfect. We all come here on this forum, with very different levels of knowhow. And maybe can some of  these small posts, lead to some constructive second thoughts or questions for some. (oh bye the way Cosmo 32 I really like your Avatar, it remind me of myself monday morning....)

  13. Hello btm and wellcome

     

    It is so nice to see someone having thought about backup software, because it can really save your ... ,  you know, a certain body part many times? So thumbs up for that. It is a thought out setup. But I have to ask you, hope you don't mind, but did you had many problems setting up nod32 and Outpost ? I ask because I have seen many incompatibility issues with the combination nod32 + Outpost. Thank you, for you sharing your setup with us,and once again welcome :-))

     

    Regards, Janus
