  1. Is it for any links or just while in google search? If it's just google go to the google site and type something then hit the setting and make sure "Open each selected result in a new browser window" is unselected. If its all links while it may seem odd make sure the CTRL key isn't stuck.
  2. Could it not block them before it wa able to encrypt then you wouldn't need to decrypt?
  3. Sounds like a bug @Marcos . Noticed you said the setting has to be changed manually on each computer but it appears that eset displayed it as off because the original that had the settings copied from was set to off so the versions using the copied settings displayed it as off while actually not being off.
  4. Is smart mode okay for an average user? Same for the hips rules in the link?
  5. Not sure if its anything related to the link below. I have seen things posted suggesting that on boot up there is a delay where windows doesn't detect eset straight away. Does the error go away? This might suggest it is just delayed at detecting it
  6. May have mentioned this before but i would love an option to change what shows when right clicking on the eset icon in the taskbar. E.g. user could add areas, settings etc. that they used more often for quicker access
  7. I will also add that while the forum is used frequently for bugs and such eset does still recommend opening a support ticket - don't think this was a bug but I have seen some people forgetting this option exists.
  8. As long as by helping you just mean advice about using eset etc. then I cannot see why not. Obviously if you used your website to help users download it illegally (which I'm not insinuating you plan to) then that would be a different case and would be blocked
  9. I just did a Google of TNod - it appears to be a program used for illegal purposes so I recommend removing this asap
  10. As mentioned I'm not sure if any/many av's can do much about this right now. It relates to something I have been saying for years - too many people rely on their AV too much - for example I use Windows 10 because it's security is far better than previous versions and I think anyone using older unsupported OS's e.g. XP are just looking to put their systems at risk
  11. Ah I see - at least if it works it will stop people blaming eset - Would there be a way to set it up possibly to do a check - e.g. so users could see a warning that RDP is enabled, hasn't got a password etc.
  12. It has probably been mentioned on here - but Itman and others have pointed out you can set RPD to get locked out after a set amount of failed logins - I'm just guessing but presume you do not have this set up as Brute force appears to have been used so adding this could avoid this in the future
  13. I am curious - I don't know a lot about networking and RDP but have been wondering for a while if there would be a way an AV could warn users if RDP was not secure etc. I'm not sure if this is what you are hinting at and I know you can't say a lot at the moment but I do think if it is it could fix the issue that a lot of ransomware posts seem to be related to.
  14. One thing I have wondered if it is an option then what does that mean for users? As in will it be recommended only for advanced users and if not why an option to disable
  15. I thought I replied to this so hopefully I didn't - if my reply was deleted e.g. against rules I apologise. Basically I agree - the main reason I began using Eset is because it didn't follow what other AVs did - it did its own thing but I'm wondering if this is causing issues now. I came to Eset from BitDefender which a few years back became far too unreliable due to bugs - I wanted something that didn't slow my PC. Too many other AVs did things that in my opinion should be done by separate programs e.g. I have ccleaner so don't need an AV to clean unneeded junk files. That's what sold me on eset - sticking to just security. However I do feel like it's behind in advanced stuff - by advanced I mean things for advanced users and not advanced technology. I get the whole thing about not wanting to confuse users. An average user should never be given a choice or at least this should be avoided e.g. is this safe or risky - the user will not know and could block something by mistake that could cause issues or even allow a dangerous file. However there should in my opinion be options to allow stuff for those with the knowledge and willing to take the risk. There is always the risk that if advanced features like this are not included in fear of how it will affect average users, those advanced users will end up going to a competitor.
  16. I wonder if there is an option to get the premium version
  17. Yeah I'd go for this and have it disabled by default. I get the whole thing about false positives and it is a risky balance but really the users eset wants to protect should hardly ever need to go into the advanced option. These users would probably just install eset with standard defaults. The thing is a lot of users like choice and I'd worry eset would put some more advanced users off by not having these options. Hips for example can be dangerous in the wrong hands but it's an option and generally standard users will not enable because of the risks so things like the thing above should work as only those knowing the risks should enable them
  18. Sorry didn't mean standard user account. What I mean is unless you run encryption software does windows encrypt anything. Let's say a general user who just uses a computer for games and music, videos etc. If they don't run any encryption stuff I presume nothing should be encrypting anything so if something started encrypting something that would automatically be suspicious. @Marcos seemed to state it may be hard to determine genuine encryption from a virus but could eset not simply have an option to disable or warn about any attempts to encrypt
  19. Does encryption run on a standard home user computer without them knowing. What I mean is I have windows pro but don't use any encryption software so surely if something started encrypting something there would be a cause for alarm. I've thankfully never came across ransomware but I thought for a general home computer the fact something is being encrypted would look suspicious in itself
  20. I'm new to this topic but just wanted to ask something and unsure if its been asked. Firstly - I have no issue with Eset - I know nothing can ever be 100 percent. However in regards to ransomware would there not be a way to detect something is encrypting files which in turn could force an alert from Eset. I'm not talking about new unknown viruses, zero day etc but the act of encrypting itself. Basically could Eset not set it by default to alert users if it detects file encrypting and possibly even be set to pause the encryption until a user tells Eset to either allow or remove. Surely with that approach it wouldn't matter if it was a new virus unseen that eset didn't know as it would still see the encrypting part. Or are these viruses able to hide that they are encrypting things until it is too late? I don't have a lot of knowledge on these things so sorry if it is a lot more complex than that.
  21. Strange it didn't seem to be alerting about windows updates but as long as it seems to have went
  22. What is Eset asking on the main screen? I'm asking this because there is 1 alert with the 1 being green - in the second picture from the eset homepage there is also an alert on the home area with a green one but as the screen doesn't show the homepage we cannot see what it is. My guess is it is green because there is an alert and sorting this alert will remove the green background. This is just speculation but makes sense to me. Edit - Ran your first image on an online OCR 556/5000 "The free trial period expires in 29 days. O o Buy licenses Activate the product version of ENJOY SAFER TECHNOLOG Protection is being initiated. Some functions may not yet work fully. It may take a while. Sprawdi postgp Last update: Update has not yet been launched license: 25-04-2018 Buy license A free trial period is limited to 29 days." It could be that it is a free license and simply remain that colour until purchased
  23. Have you tried uninstalling with the eset uninstaller in safe mode then installing the latest version. Might be some old files are left behind
  24. Can I just check something. Are all 3 computers giving these warnings or just the 2 that you imported the settings to with the original working?
