    Description: Ad blocker.
    Details: I hope Eset has a ad blocker function similar uBlock Origin with built-in rules and allowing import custom rules (EasyList, EasyPrivacy,...) without any browser extension.

    Sadly eset hasn't got an adblocker. As mentioned in my above post I cannot see them adding one but I don't work for eset so could be wrong. Eset does protect you however from adverts containing malware

    Thanks for reaction . I want to not coming   “Potentially unwanted application found”  window again & again. I feel bad situation. Many crack softwares are deactivated. Where is " Exclude signature from detection " ? How can I found it? Pls,send me with snapshot or video.It is very important.

    2019-12-27.png

    When it comes to potentially unwanted programs you can completely disable this option in the detection engine area. PUA programs are programs that aren't technically viruses but they have bad business practices e.g. hard to remove, try to instal extras e.g. toolbars, might contain adware and try and send information back etc. The idea with a PUA is when the option is enabled it is up to the user to decide if the pros of using it outweigh the risks. 

    If you want to keep PUA alerts on and it comes up with the pop up as you first showed by clicking the advanced arrow it will give you an option to exclude. 

    Finally I'd like to warn you that using cracked software always comes with risks because they are coming from non official places and could contain extras.

    Description: PLUGINS for the browser.
    Details: Develop plugins to block dangerous and pop-up blocker sites such as Kaspersky, Avast and Bitedefender. These companies already have this kind of security.

    This has been asked before a few times I believe but a lot of people are against it as toolbars, plugins etc. can often cause more problems.  For example you mentioned Avast - I posted something in the general forum a week or so ago about Avast having its browser addons removed as it was actually tracking users - something that people not only find shady, but something people might expect an AV to prevent not actually to take part in. I will paste the link of that post bellow. 

    As for ad blockers eset has often been popular because it doesn't include stuff that could be classed as non security. For example many AVs these days include features similar to CCleaner e.g. removing unneeded junk files. While this may come under privacy, eset has always focused more on actual security e.g. preventing viruses, hackers etc. This is probably the reason eset doesn't include an ad blocker because while adverts can be annoying, they do not fall under security.

    However it is important to note, that while eset doesn't include a popup blocker it has features, technologies etc. designed to protect you while browsing. Its web protection and other tools are designed to block malware online including those via adverts so while it may not be able to block adverts it should prevent any from infecting you. 

    I don't actually work for eset - so I don't know eset's exact stance on these things, but I don't expect eset would go down the route you mentioned.

     

    Why is there no in program update to 32 bit EIS 13.0.24?

    The same is happening for me running Windows 2 professional 64 bit

    ESET Internet security v 13.0.22.0 English (not sure how to tell if it is 64 or 32 bit)

    Edit:

    Although https://support.eset.com/en/which-eset-product-do-i-have-and-is-it-the-latest-version-home-users

    Says the latest version is 13.0.22.0

    This could be because v13.0.24 is still being rolled out slowly. Also sometimes some versions are location based e.g. I've seen one with a different number in the past that was the same as another number but for a different country

    This topic is checked by product managers and staff responsible for decision about new features to implement so posts from you never go unnoticed. Unfortunately, customization of the tray icon menu is not an easy task and since it would cost too much in terms of resources, it's not on top of the to-do list.

    Oh yeah sorry if I sounded rude as I do get it's not a priority

     Gaming mode could be easier to activate, some time on the past it was present on the context menu on system tray icon. I would really like to have it back there, at lest a option to do it faster. Also, could implement a way of customizing the context menu with what you actually use.

     Also, could implement a black/dark theme to the UI. 

     I've been using it for so long, I actually love the Smart Security Premium, but, this little things, sometimes are really boring to set up every single time you want to play a game.

    -I thought, there could be a "White List" where you put the programs you'd like, and then Eset's SSP auto enter "Gaming Mode" when it detects the process running.

    I've been asking for the ability to customise the content menu for a while now so that users can add stuff they'd prefer to see e.g. firewall troubleshoot wizard

    Why is there no in program update to 32 bit EIS 13.0.24?

    Thanks. Yes I'm aware of that but my question was: why on my 64 bit version of EIS 13.0.22 i was able to update to 13.0.24 using the 'update' option within the software, but was unable to do the same for the 32 bit version on a different PC? Not a huge issue, as I manually downloaded the 32 bit version of 13.0.24 and just installed that over 13.0.22 but i'm curious to know why in program updates to the 64 & 32 bit versions are treated differently.

    Eset gradually sends out updates in program rather than sending the update to everyone all at once. This is often done to avoid issues e.g. everyone gets updated straight away and there's an undiscovered bug that affects everyone. Staggering the updates can help as only a few would get affected instead. It may also prevent overloads. It's not to say that eset doesn't have quality control but sometimes things can get missed.

    As you have seen you can still manually update instead of waiting for the in product update 

    uTorrent is flagged as malicious by several antivirus engines currently

    uTorrent getting flagged by several antivirus engines does not surprise me at all. The other day I was reading on "https://www.facebook.com/" how downloading content from uTorrent is illegal in some countries. If people still want to download something from uTorrent & something goes wrong they'll have no one to blame but themselves.

    Downloading any copyrighted material for free is illegal. So downloading any copyrighted torrent is also illegal. Torrent programs in themselves are legal because they do not supply and content.

    Hello,

    Hmm… this is kind of a long answer.  ESET is always looking at all sorts of new (and not-so-new) technologies and how we can better protect people, and the Internet of Things is one of those areas where there are a lot of challenges and a lot of interest.  We have done everything from finding vulnerable devices and reporting them to their vendors (under responsible disclosure guidelines, BTW), as well as looked at the space from the perspective of a higher level overview.  So, from that perspective, ESET does have interest in the space.

    But, that said, it is important to understand that there are a lot of non-obvious background activities that go into shipping actual hardware.  My last employer (before I joined ESET in 2005) was a telephony hardware manufacturer that made embedded systems like VoIP handsets, PoE switches, PBXes and the like.  While that may sound dissimilar to an "IoT device" at first glance, they are really largely the same:  General purpose (commodity) hardware and operating systems software that has been highly-optimized and engineered to perform a few set-purpose activities.  In the case of those devices, that involved things like taking and placing calls, handling voicemail, toggling MWI (message waiting indicator) LEDs and connecting to a variety of standards-based (SIP) and proprietary (Cisco) devices. 

    To get to all of that, though, the company had to go through all sorts of prototyping to design and then test the hardware, source component suppliers, find printed circuit board manufacturers, assembly partners, etc.  Doing all of that requires having lots of electronics engineering talent, with specialization not just in embedded but telecommunications and networking as well.  You have to design the plastics (or contract that out to a design firm), as well as do things like get certification from various regulatory agencies and safety organizations (FCC, UL, TUV and so forth).  You even have to design crush-proof packaging and foam inserts which is a highly-specialized field. 

    Getting device through certification is not always easy (when I left my last employer, they were going through a multi-month long process to get a Bluetooth radio module inside a handset certified for EU use) or cheap.

    And, once you've finally got a working, certifiable product, it gets even more complicated.  If you have a physical product like hardware, you have to have physical space for engineers to sit in, warehouse space for inventory, a shipping department, a QA/testing department, an RMA department for analyzing why units failed in the field and repairing them and so forth.  Also, expect to re-spin (revise) your product's hardware several times over its life-cycle to fix bugs in it.  Those will occur, no matter how much you design or test for them.  At my last employer, they had one product with a circuit board on revision H (8th revision) because revisions A though G had flaws in them.  Even something as simple as the Raspberry Pi 4 has design flaws that need to be fixed with a board redesign.

    All together, that is a lot of work, and while ESET has engaged in some activities-at-scale before which required some specialized engineering, making an IoT security device is in a different kind of direction than the has historically been in.

    That's not to say that you will never see an ESET IoT security device, but just not to expect anything in the near term, because there's a lot of work to do to get into the hardware space.  It may instead be more effective to partner with companies to provide that kind of functionality.  But, that's a discussion far beyond my area of expertise.

    Aryeh Goretsky

     

     

     

    Thanks for the deep insight. Sometimes the things that look and seem simple have a complicated process to get there

    It's funny that the NSA got it developed , got leaked by mistake or some kind of whistle blower I don't remember , and yet , the most infected country is the US , they fell in their own trap , and brought the whole world in the same trap with them, even Microsoft wasn't happy about the NSA doing that.

    This is why backdoors are always a bad idea. When it comes to government agencies some people seem to live by the idea that it doesn't matter because they have nothing to hide. However if there's a backdoor for one person or organisation there's always the risk of someone else finding it and if that person is a hacker with malicious intent, well lets just say there's a lot of damage that can be done. 

    enable in & out connections for application with dynamically changing path (wildcard support for firewall rules)

    Hello everybody,

    as the topic title says I have the following problem:

    I use Opera as my main browser and have the firewall set to interactive mode (which I won't change)
    Unfortunately, Opera changes the path containing the executable dynamically with every update.

    example folder structure:
    c:\Program Files\Opera\65.0.3467.72\opera.exe
    c:\Program Files\Opera\65.0.3467.72\opera_autoupdate.exe
    c:\Program Files\Opera\65.0.3467.72\opera_crashreporter.exe
    c:\Program Files\Opera\65.0.3467.78\opera.exe
    c:\Program Files\Opera\65.0.3467.78\opera_autoupdate.exe
    c:\Program Files\Opera\65.0.3467.78\opera_crashreporter.exe

    Now I have to allow connections every time Opera is updated.

    I thought of using something like c:\Program Files\Opera\*\opera.exe, but that doesn't work with firewall rules.

     

    Any ideas or solutions?

    Many thanks in advance

    Sadly wildcard support is unavailable and from what I can gather (apologises to eset if I'm wrong), there is no current plans to implement it. It is something that has been asked quite a few times. For example a lot of Windows apps from Microsoft e.g. on Windows 10 from the store, do the same thing, having the folder name change e.g. to represent the new version.

    UPDATE : It's removed now.

    Weird as on my phone when I have viewed this topic the last few days there was no link and even a post from Marcos mentioning no link - also there appears to be no edit to any of the posts - normally when a post is edited even by a Mod, such as removing a dodgy link, there will be something saying this.

    How about a NEW system tray icon for ESET? Like comic theme.

    Some female users would like to make them computers become feminization. Like putting a Hello Kitty on the Wallpaper in windows desktop.

    Does ESET think about cooperating with some comic characters or putting an cute animal to replace the system tray icon of ESET?

    Thanks.

    I don't work for eset so don't speak for them but cannot see them doing this. Not sure how easy it would be to do but would presume it would take time for a feature that would be purely cosmetic and for most unimportant  for a security program.

    Sorry if any offense has been caused as this was not intended

    Hi might have been some confusion. When Marco's mentioned opening a ticket with support he meant via email e.g. go to the eset website and open support ticket. Once this is done share the ticket number with @Marcos on here.

    This is the recommended method.  Hopefully they can figure out the issue

    I recall it's a matter of Android and we cannot influence it. The best would be to create a support ticket using the built-in form in order to get a statement from developers.

    I know an alarm app I use has an icon in the left hand side when an alarm is set as seen in the included screenshot. So I wonder if there would be a way to have eset always there as an option or is this different because eset is always running.

    As also shown in my screenshot eset currently has an icon on the left hand side as I am using unsecured Wifi (my works public wifi). So eset can show an icon in the left hand side just don't know if it can be implented to always be there

    The notification on the lock screen appears only after turning on or restarting the phone when Android starts up. I don't have any notification icon either. If you think this is not correct, you can contact customer care via the built-in form so that they receive logs from your device for perusal.

    I've always thought having the icon in the top left all the time as an option would be great, partly because it may reassure users eset is running and thus protecting the user. Not sure if there is a feedback/suggestion area for mobile. Maybe there should be a future changes bit at the top of this sub forum such as the ones used on some of the other sub forums such as internet security, nod32 etc.

    Windows version support

    Hi,

    How long will old versions of Windows still be supported by the Nod32 Antivirus application?

    I still have some Windows 7 and a Windows Home server 2011 (server 2008 R2) running.

    Is there a webpage that will list the supported Windows versions? Was not able to find one.

     

    Update: In this page, link here, it only describes what Microsoft plans are, not for how long Windows version will be supported by Eset.

     

    Kind regards,

    Mark

    I don't work for eset but sure they only recently dropped xp support so I would presume 7 would get supported for a bit longer although with 7 getting support dropped from Microsoft it isn't recommended to use it after this time
