@foneil I was referring to the under the hood ones. I think people were expecting more than just an updated GUI and a referral program after waiting a year, which is what the release notes imply.

There are actually plenty of changes in the new version, many more than the (4) that is listed against the changelog that is shown against 12.0.27.0 Maybe once the discrepancy in the changelog is noticed and updated then you might be more satisfied ? @Marcos @Peter Randziak

Yes ...... I use it myself and it runs without any issue

You added that to the "exclude from scanning" list yeah ?? Using the format *www.sportshd.me* , using those asterisks

https://support.eset.com/kb2960/?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US

You could always exclude the site from being scanned/blocked yourself in your settings *AT YOUR OWN RISK*

Plus if you are on windows 10 https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4027563/windows-10-set-your-display-for-night-time

Version 11.2.63.0 Fixed: Webcam is not detected by Webcam Protection on Windows 10 RS4 Fixed: Antitheft Protection crashes during attempt to disable Fixed: Issues with Wi-Fi connected to public access point Fixed: Debugger not functioning

In case you have any problems in the future. The "Troubleshooting Wizard" under SETUP > NETWORK PROTECTION is always a good place to start/look at when trying to resolve network issues ?

Honestly you would think after years of the same/similar threads that people would eventually understand that "Tests" don't equate to real world. It's a very rare occurrence when ESET products actually fails to protect people in "Everyday" use, hence why the forums are nearly devoid of any complaints regarding infection. The OP and others keep relating to tests but have never fell short of protection themself when using the products. Unless you get infected with something or fall victim to some kind of ransomware when posting "What If's" is fruitless and misleading to other users.

If you go to the Tools menu , then "More Tools" at the bottom right of the window. You can get the security report from there @camelia

Obviously we have different opinions on what this "Simulator" actually does or achieves. Like i said above, the application needs looked at properly to see if it does "what is advertised" on the label. From what i can see on the screenshots, every test just "encrypts files and deletes the originals". I could do exactly the same thing creating a password protected file using Winrar, which is legitimate.

It's not a convenient answer , its a fact Eicar is a "test" file that pre-dates any HIPS type system. It's not a simulator. Never heard of "knowbe4" , the app needs torn apart to see how it works. But i suspect its nonsense that would return the same result when run under any security product......... the old term "Scareware" comes to mind ?

The answer is in the name ....... It's a "Simulator" = not the real thing Firefox and chrome both block you from downloading this and on the "KnowBe4" webpage they acknowledge this and tell you how to get "Around" this. Why would ANY legitimate security vendor have to provide details on how to do this. Im sure they would be in contact with google and mozilla to have it unblocked if it was a mistake.

@chrcoluk report the seller to EBAY as they are breaking the T&C's of EBAY You might get a refund and not be at a total loss

Buying software on EBAY is a big NO-NO , sadly there are plenty of people quite happy to make money from scamming people. It's usually the seller that "disappears" before the licence issue arise ?

By disabling the firewall , allow "everything" takes place. Not just "this and that" ESET Firewall and WFC are equally easy to use. WFC is not actually a dedicated firewall and just allows for easier use of windows own firewall. The firewall within EIS offers botnet and network attack protection and "MIGHT" offer greater protection than windows firewall does by default. https://support.eset.com/kb318/?viewlocale=en_US

Yes it's a small annoyance that does not affect functionality, so after uninstalling an program i generally remove the rule i created manually at the same time so i don't end up with a number of redundant rules.

Firewall rules will still remain and would need to be removed manually

Virustotal provides a scan using multiple engines and includes ESET in the results. Plus anything you may "think" is suspicious , can be submitted to ESET via a few different methods. Via windows explorer (right click and submit for analysis) Or via email https://support.eset.com/kb141/?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US

you should unblock that (svchost) using the wizard @hdx1337

@jefrotone the issue wont be with you Eset product, but may look like it. Are you running anything like ASUS ai suite or overclocking any of the components on your system ??? Also a bit more info about all "other" software you have installed on your system would help narrow things down a bit

I'm pretty positive the exact same thing was posted by someone on the forum back in FEB when these results were spotted. Av-Test seems to be a great source of information. That good it's not ran a test on windows 10 since December 2017 , so i would personally question their overall methodology and reliability. https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/windows-10/ MSE is never consistent in either its detection or false positives rate, if you scroll through the (Av-Comparatives) chart for the whole of 2017 you will see that. Paid solutions are more consistent , regardless of who the vendor is.

Hi, I would select "create rule and remember permanently" and press allow for this, as it's probably a cloud based service malwarebytes uses
