Don't they own android?

Would they not have a legal problem with this? I mean people pay for security features that works with browsers and they won't be happy if they suddenly stop working. There's also the risk of either side losing customers e.g. if AV's build their own browser or a shared browser Google and others will lose out or some will be forced to avoid certain features if they need specific browsers e.g. I use chrome as I have an android phone and have my desktop and mobile browser synced

Interesting article that could cause issues for many security products. There is however talk on there about a whitelist which could make sense with the browser only blocking those that have issues

Eset smart security is still available for current users but new users cannot purchase. The only difference between internet security and smart is smart includes anti theft

Is there any word when an update will be released to bring this back?

I read a lot of nhs computers also run xp which doesn't help

If you want it now just use the live installer

Can you block it so email attatchments can't be opened. Was just thinking of how to avoid this as sadly people are the weakest link in security. Blocking email attachments and if you need to open one having it opened on an isolated network so if it is infected it can't spread

I read somewhere that someone in the NHS got an email from an unknown sender telling them they had been infected with ransomware and to open an attachment for more info/to pay etc. Obviously this was the real virus. Thought the nhs would have a strong training course for social engineering

A website I regularly visit is being partly blocked by Eset. I reported it to the website in question and was given a link on how to unblock it with Eset. I told the website they should contact Eset as there is probably a reason that the site is being blocked and it would be better to have this fixed for all users. Also there is probably a reason for Eset blocking the site and for that reason I won't put it into my exceptions - even if it is a false positive if the site did get infected in the future I'd be at risk. The website is www.doctorwhotv.co.uk. When entering the site, the site is viewable but an alert comes up "hxxp://community.doctorwhotv.co.uk/javascripts/count.js;Blocked by internal IP blacklist." Most of the site is viewable but the community page is blocked completely with the following message "Website blocked The web page is on the list of websites with potentially dangerous content. Access to it has been blocked." What is the reason for this? The site seems to have stopped emailing me. I'd usually think that was suspicious but it is well used popular site. Just wondering what they should do to avoid this. Thanks Peter

Have you ticked remember action for this certificate. In the image the ask everytime bit is selected so blocking it will only block it for that instance and you will be asked again each time,

If you buy it from the site above everything should be okay as it's the proper mexican site. You'll get an account and licence

I suppose with live installers downloading the latest version you could set it so putting your licence would download the correct version

This seems to be the Mexican site hxxp://www.eset-la.com/mx try contacting them

I think he means contact your local distributor. Which country are you in? A lot of countries have their own local distributors who may be able to help you out

I was just wondering, apart from the extras like the password manager and anti-theft and so on, is there anything different in each Eset version? The reason I'm asking this is I have noticed lately in the forums a lot of people accidentally downloading the wrong version for their license e.g. downloading smart security premium rather than internet security. They then have to uninstall/download and instal the correct version. This got me thinking. Rather than having separate versions would it be technically possible to have one version? The idea is that certain parts would be locked without the correct license. This would mean that if someone wanted to upgrade they wouldn't need a new version and would simply put in their new license to unlock the previously locked features. This would also mean if someone wanted to downgrade they wouldn't have to uninstal, they would just put in their newer lower license and have the higher up features locked again. Obviously this might be more complicated than it sounds but thought I'd suggest it. The only problem I can see user wise is having the tools on their computer taking up space but unable to use them. This could possibly be solved by having the tools like modules and not actually stored on the computer. Basically when the higher up version is unlocked these tools could then be downloaded via the program automatically. Again this could be more complicated than it sounds but it would mean Eset would only need one version, one download etc. Thanks Peter

In settings you can tell the program how long to stay unlocked for or if to stay unlocked for good each session (not recommended). However I think sleep mode is different and it may simply lock itself each time.

Description: The ability to change quick linksDetail: Not sure if I've mentioned this on here but it would be really handy if you could change the quicklinks that you see when you right click the eset icon in the taskbar. For example some people will never use the gamemode but for people who game a lot being able to add that option to the quick link would make it far easier to turn on/off. Same with other options.

Do you mean 10.1.204.0 smart security. I'm sure I read smart security still includes anti theft but it's not available for new users. It could be a bug if your still on smart security not sure though.

Wrote this in a rush and forgot to add the web interface could be attacked using Cross-Site Request Forgery

Stumbled on an article about a new email service that has claimed to be the most secure email service. Seems it's actually the opposite. It's an expensive device yet when a security researcher took it apart they discovered it was simply a cheap rasperry pi device with lots of out of date software and no apparent update system. Apparently the creators claim it uses its own proprietary system but the researcher found nothing like this. Theres a full rundown of everything the researcher found online. Its quite an interesting read https://scotthelme.co.uk/nomx-the-worlds-most-secure-communications-protocol/

Go into setup - advanced setup - click the update area on the left hand side near the top - should be just under antivirus. Click the + by profiles and the + by basic. You should see a bit with update type and a drop down menu. The pre release option is in there. Press okay and it should be sorted. Then go into the main update area and run an update.

I can confirm this. The search can find anything from any page while on the first page. However as soon as you go from page 1 to another page and try and search nothing can be found

I use two factor authentication for a few things but I do have an issue with it. Back when lot's of people's icloud's got hacked, apple started rolling it out, but Apple never actually stated they were hacked which makes me believe a lot of the incidents where forms of phishing. I've read about phishing using two factor authentication which generally involves a hacker pretending to be from the site/company etc. Basically they inform the user that there's an issue but can't access the account until it's been disabled or they send them the code. Also if I remember correctly one phone network had issues with it's voicemails being hacked a while back. Don't get me wrong two factor authentication is great but it should never fully replace teaching people how to be secure.

As someone who likes to keep an eye on the tech and security world I just came across something I'd never heard of thanks to a bug fix via Chrome. I thought I'd share this as I found it quite interesting. Homograph Attacks basically uses foreign languages that use characters that are similar to english characters, such as Cyrillic characters. The idea is that the domain will appear to be genuine while taking you to a completely different website. Chrome has just released a fix to prevent this issue that has been ongoing apparently for years. I think it does show the importance of using up to date software. Strangely never heard of this until today. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/04/18/homograph_attack_again/
