Hello, Just wanted to ask if it's safe (or even possible - haven't tried it) to export settings from Internet Security and import them in NOD32 Antivirus for example (and vice-versa). Or is it best to only do this within the exact same program? Thanks

Description: Add virus / website / potential false positive submission section Detail: Two methods are currently described in this article: In-product and email submission. The first requires ESET LiveGrid feedback system to be enabled. Some users may not want this, since it enables more than sample/URL submission. The second is ineffective and frustrating: many mail servers reject these attachments and email sending becomes impossible.

Ok understood, thanks.

I do have them, but this isn't really a problem but merely a cosmetic issue and suggestion, so I won't have to select "Unknown device" or some vaguely related device type like "Computer" instead. Do I still need to raise a ticket for this request?

Hello! Network Device types I'm currently missing for selection: Satellite receiver IPTV player Furthermore, perhaps you could consider allowing user-created device types and icons. Thanks.

Hello! The software is excellent overall with many options, great performance and extensive documentation so I will be getting a license when the trial is over. I'll focus on a few issues and concerns, mostly Firewall-related: The main one, and the reason I'll have to switch to NOD32 Antivirus: Windows Apps (Store) cannot be used in anything other than Automatic mode. A reason to use a strong 3rd-party Firewall is the ability to customize rules and monitor connection requests. As you know (found several old Forum topics on this) Windows Apps keep changing their path location, so the prompts become unbearable. They should be safe to allow, because: a) supposedly vetted by Microsoft b) SmartScreen exclusively for Store apps is also at hand So, a special Firewall rule to simply allow all Store apps (and their updates) is sorely needed, regardless of Firewall Filtering mode. As for Desktop programs that change their installation path: they are much less of a problem since there are not many. WhatsApp for Desktop is such a bad example: they update it every 5-7 days and it becomes a problem also for the Webcam protection module: only way to avoid constant notification prompts is to disable Webcam protection entirely (hence the switch to NOD32). A clear indication (colour-coded perhaps) for invalid firewall rules is also needed, and a quick way to select and optionally delete them. Some cosmetic remarks, again about the Firewall Rules window: 1. Quicker access to it, either with configurable keyboard shortcut and/or a direct tray-icon link. 2. Make it remember its previous size/position. I keep maximizing it because it resets to its small, default size every time it is launched. 3. Add an alternative "Display Rules view" mode. Rule order cannot be altered, but all Rules can be sorted every way the user wants (name, protocol, direction etc.) and single rules can also be fully edited and enabled/disabled. For users that do not tinker with Rule order much, this would be way more flexible and useful. Also: consider adding shortcuts to all Tools in the tray icon. Having to go through Tools/More Tools is a bit tiresome. Why not add full shortcuts to all main sections of the program in both tray icon and Windows Start Menu? It'd make navigation easier and quicker.

Thanks. Yes, I know about the switch. I was suggesting an automatic approach, which should not be complicated to implement. For example: Automatic Dark Mode for your website Dark Mode - The prefers-color-scheme Website Tutorial So, you could have these selections: 1. Default light 2. Default dark 3. Default (auto light/dark) 4, 5 etc. Additional non-default themes

Perhaps you could consider adding an "auto" Theme which will switch automatically between Default light/dark, based on either: a) user preference, as advertised/indicated by the web browser b) user location, as set in the Forum settings.

My fault! In one of my rules the Application path was empty, so that rule caused the problem. At least I got reminded one needs to be very careful and precise. 😳

Hello everyone, Trying out Internet Security, Windows 10. Firewall in Policy-based mode, the Windows Firewall has been automatically turned off. I've added a few rules to ESET (haven't touched the built-in ones) but noticing that several programs without a rule connect normally. Others programs are being blocked. I thought this mode blocks everything without a rule? Firefox for example connects normally. Rules that allow these programs are still present in the Windows Firewall, but: a) Switching them to Disabled/Blocked changes nothing b) Windows Firewall is disabled and should be ignored anyway? Thank you
