It really drives me nuts when ESET AV blocks a site that I do not want it to. I keep on filing false positive reports but nothing changes. I would like there to be an option to allow a site/domain on the 'site blocked' notification. I cannot think of any reason why ESET blocks Sourceforge, for example.

When one buys another license, how soon can one enter the new license information so one does not lose any time on the old one? Thanks DrT PS Due to a poor showing by Bitdefender during testing and a price drop on Amazon.co.uk, looks as if I will be with ESET for another year.

That is why I buy kosher retail copies.

I am in the UK. I am keeping an eye on the UK Amazon site. AV companies tend to regionalise their products so I would not want to risk getting a version not intended for my locale. I an VERY jealous of the deals our colonial cousins get in retail. It breaks my heart every time I visit the USA.

Amazon's price has dropped £6 per 3 PC licence and it is now cheaper than buying from ESET. Hopefully ESET will come out with some offers if I wait until the last minute. It's a bit like one gets offers to shareware only if one uninstalls it whilst fully intending to buy it.

Ditched Bitdefender pretty sharpish for various reasons. Not that I care to test it again, it seemed to have deleted some system folders - the system could boot up but I restored from the backup taken before the install. @G4COE - I am from that big city that you mentioned that you are near to.

Hi Dave, Saving for an FTDX1200 ;-). Bitdefender 3 user/1pc £11.39 - and it has been hitting top marks in many reviews. I also do like ESET, but 70 sovs against 23 for 6 PCs...it's a no brainer. 73's de Guy G4DWV/4X1LT

The price of the product I am interested in, 3PC/1yr x2, was £17 last year from Amazon, is £35 this year and ESET UK's price is £31. At least half of the products I have checked are significantly cheaper. A 10 PC Vipre licence is £50. Norton AV is £24 for 3 licences. ESET is no longer competative IMHO. Money is money and times are tight.

Hi, ESET's price is not significantly cheaper than Amazon's. I would not buy software that is intended for another country - there is a chance it would not activate so US intended ESET may not work in the UK. ESET is one of the more expensive AVs at the moment.

Very disappointed to see that ESET's price has doubled in the last year on a like-for-like basis. £17 last year for a 3 user/1 yr licence from Amazon, £35 this year. The slightly lower price (£31.50) from ESET for a download is not good value when Amazon ships a physical product. It is unlikely that I will defect, but I am checking out other products, most of which are cheaper.

I have not seen the message before or since the instances mentioned above. No proxy servers here.

My win XP was also 32 bit, the other windows were 64 bit.

Strange...

The latest definition updates for NOD32 AV are unsigned. One gets a message if one still wants to update using them. Confirmed on Vista x64, Win XP and Win 7 x64. DrT

Happy New Year to ESET and everybody here. To ESET - thanks for making a product that works and I cannot tell it is running. Jumped ship from Kaspersky and cannot see myself going back. Their mods are (being polite) 'not nice' or helpful and their software causes problems. They just manage to sort them our then they come out with another version and have to start again. To everybody here - by helping to keep the place friendly. Here's to a malware and virus-free 2014. L'chaim, Na Zdorovie and cheers! DrTeeth

No probs with the Asus RT-N66U router FWIW - using the Merlin firmware. DrT

Actually, the erroneously released v7 update also uninstalled the previous version (v7) automatically. ESET has got this upgrading well sorted out; unlike Kaspersky where the official line is that you CAN upgrade but all the mods on the forum strongly advise against it.

Okay peeps, thanks a lot. DrT

I am not clear why there is an option for submitting a sample for analysis in the dialogue box I sent a 'shot of. If they are geting lots of non-malicious files being sent in, it sounds like they need to tweak their detection algorithm . The recommended way is more trouble than it is worth - especially if the AV is going to detect it every time I manipulate it.

Do you have a screen shot of what the screen should look like to send something to the labs? I'd expect something on that box. I have tried to submit files to you, but I di what I can but am never sure if anythiung has been sent as I get no gonfirmation. If I do not have an easy way to send files or get confirmations...I might as well give up trying to help and I do NOT want to At ALL. DrT

Please see the attached screenshot. Is there a way to send the file to ESET from this dialogue box? Under the 'show advanced options' the option to send the file is ticked, but there is no indication that any file is sent. This is very confusing so can somebody clarify if anything is sent or not from this box? TIA, DrT

Hi Marcos, Please check out this thread hxxp://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5901 for more info on this. Smart optimisation is not disabled. Regards DrT

All program's first run seems to be slow as the files are scanned and any future loading is at normal speed - I assume that a hash or something is stored for future use. There is at least one exception to this...PowerArchiver. This does not happen and the program's authors have to submit each update to you to overcome the slow *continual* loading. A few days after that the issue seems to be resolved in an update until the next one. Can this be fixed so they do not have to do this? Thanks DrT

That is exactly what I thought. All that bandwidth for an EULA? No way.

Clicking on the 'more information' link in the notification box does nothing at all. Getting that to work would help .
