Yeah, if it doesn't fit, ignore it!
I don't believe anyone ignores it especially the vendors of the products tested, but the chart makes something look worse than it actually is. A fraction of a single percent is what separates all the vendors. There is not really a bad score there ..........

If memory serves me correctly it will just say "Invalid username/password"

HTTPS was never created to discover or report fake sites, its merely to encrypt the data between your browser and the site you are visiting to stop it being intercepted by a "man in the middle". What you are saying does have some validity though, as some guides online have portrayed if you are entering (bank details/paypal/credit card details) to make sure the site is using HTTPS. Although this is good practice to follow , it has never "meant" that the site is legitimate as some guides fail to point out.

Read this article on a few different sites now. What i did notice was that if you are running windows 10 fall update or later then the method does NOT work and will cause a BSOD
Another reason to update to windows 10
Suppose the blue screen is the better option

Well, Est agrees this should not have happened but have not provided either a fix nor a timeline for an update that will correct this. Not the most responsive Tech Support I have ever dealt with. I'm surprised.
Things like this are generally resolved very quickly @BobU . Not issuing a timescale is pretty much the industry standard when fixing smaller(non security) bugs like this, as something could come along that requires a faster resolution as it might actually pose a threat to security itself which is a more urgent matter.

@BobU
Bah was hoping that would have solved your problem as that bug in the offline installer looked very much like the culprit by installing a feature(antispam) that's not actually part of NOD32. Maybe your best route would be to contact @Marcos via private message and give him a note of your support ticket number and he can marry it up with this thread you have posted and see how it goes from there.

@BobU
Might be worth noting before raising a ticket ...........
Also noticed on this thread created on 04/12 by ESET themself states that version 11.0.154.0 has been released that fixes a problem with the previous version of the OFFLINE installer that "installs the wrong product". It does state that it affected "ESET internet security" , but may also be why your install has became a little buggy ???
forum.eset.com/topic/13979-eset-windows-home-products-version-1101540-have-been-released/
Maybe worth uninstalling your existing version of NOD32 , then going into outlook and manually removing the ESET antispam folder manually , then closing outlook and reinstalling your new version 11.0.154.0 and seeing if the anti spam folder appears again when you launch outlook for the first time ??. -
@BobU
On last windows update KB4051963 on 30/11 i did notice that there was a new process launched by my office suite , even although there was not an update to OFFICE or OUTLOOK itself. Might be worth your while raising a support ticket via the ESET GUI to see if there is a known issue (like yours) or this has happened since this update and your v11 install.
-
Certainly seems that way @BobU
I assume that the antispam folder is created by outlook when it is launched with the antispam feature enabled within EIS or ESSP and with NOD32 not actually having that plugin as part of the suite it seems bizarre that it has been created in the first place.
Does your Outlook have the plugin tab showing like this ???
-
No @BobU i don't work for ESET , but im getting a little confused here.....
Antispam is a feature of either ESET Internet Security or ESET Smart Security and NOT NOD32. Are you sure you chose correct installer when you downloaded it originally and never installed one of the other products by mistake ?.
You can see it on the comparison sheet here https://www.eset.com/int/home/for-windows/
Within EIS or ESSP , its a very simple task of changing the slider to enable or disable the antispam integration feature within the GUI , without removing the email client protection as you can see from the image i have made up below.
-
Your email will always be scanned , the integration part is what add's the anti spam function & folder

@BobU
If you open the NOD gui, then press F5 > web and email > email client protection
All the various settings are in there for enabling or disabling -

Hi @Marcos,
I've had some issues the past few long hours to edit and/or add comments to my topic, sounds familiair?
I might need to finally admit that my Asus Laptop is just not fit enough anymore to handle most post 2015 apps I'm now running.
I've been troubleshooting the mentioned issue and I've come to the conclusion, that the 2GB RAM / CPU is the crullpit. Can you confirm my view on the matter?
Thanks for your time & trouble! Even your suggested methode for logging is hogging my Laptop big time.
Cheers
@m4v3r1ck
V11 is very lightweight and better on resources than previous versions. Your temps seem very high, if you run task manager and sort the column by CPU usage is there something that's consuming lots of cpu cycles ?? -

Yes, of course. The application update. and it reports up to date for 10. I would have never know about 11. But it did solve the problem.
Thanks again.
Glad your all sorted and never had to go through loads of other things to try and resolve the issue @BobU .

Hi @ BobU
V 11.0.149.0 is the newest version of NOD32 , might be easier downloading the offline installer from the (SUPPORT/DOWNLOADS) section on the ESET homepage for your country and installing that over the current V10 you are running just now. This might resolve your issue quicker than trying to troubleshoot step by step.
Let me know how you get on -

Thanks, but this is not a defrag issue. SSD drives should NEVER be defragged, and this is due to ESET needing to register once again with Windows Security.
Do you have any other security apps that are loading on boot that could be interfering with NOD ??
Also what version of NOD are you running ???

For example eset should use data from the LIVEGRID Network database, the application control system flags each application as Trusted, Low Restricted, High Restricted, or Untrusted. Untrusted apps simply don't get to run. Others that aren't in the Trusted category can run, but with limited access to sensitive system areas. In addition it must be have better interface to manges program's rules as like Kaspersky.
Eset must handles application control itself, without popping up confusing queries.Yes I know Eset has automatic mode but it is very simple and not functional to manages rules or in Interactive mode it show confusing pop-ups in very bad way over and over again...
Kaspersky's application control and firewall are both far from perfect. Plus the overly complex way of configuring them are not at all user friendly. The same can also be said for Bitdefender regarding these issues too.
I have tried them both personally and they DO make mistakes when it comes to both firewall and application control settings. You end up spending more time reversing and fixing things that they have broken or set incorrectly.
I would not fancy any of my software being blocked by DEFAULT just because it's new and has either zero or low reputation. I have games that update every few days and going back to edit rules each time an update is applied would put me off using that security product. Likewise the same can be said for your Microsoft updates, if any critical system files that are updated and blocked could render your system unusable.
Application control is a great idea if you are in control of it YOURSELF. Relying on a 3rd party to get things 100% correct 100% of the time is a risk in itself. Then take into consideration that if you are relying on a reputation based system to control applications, what happens when you install or update software and you have no internet connectivity ?
Average users find choosing between allow or deny daunting enough, never mind getting asked to chose between low restricted or high restricted.

Don't use ghostery but the certificate is expired. Modern browsers wont let you connect to sites when this happens as a precaution as the domain can be hijacked. Im sure once they realise the certificate has expired they will fix it.

It's real simple, I've just written it so gigantically to explain clearly.
U realize this algorithm is nothing harder than speed-distance-time problems that we used to solve in junor-high
But speed-distance-time only works when its applied to a constant, throw in a variable and your maths is worthless.
(eg it takes 10 minutes to drive back and forward to work every day, that's fine when the traffic is good...... throw in a burst water pipe and some road works and it now takes 1 hour to do the same journey)
The same thing applies when scanning files...... if 10000 files were plain text it would run through a scan in seconds. But that's not the contents of a hard disk. Mix up a different set of files containing (iso/zip/rar/cab/exe/msi) and 10000 files will take much longer due to the way the files are packed and handled.
A scan takes "as long as a scan takes" , when you chose between the different type of scan available. There is nothing you can do as a user to influence the time taken.

The problem i have is that even if it is automated if could at some point be abused and used for the thing it is trying to prevent
Of course there is always the chance of something being circumvented. But equally people said the same thing about online banking when it first went online. Take away phishing/paypal scams and other forms of scamming , banks have never had their accounts emptied.
The people employed by corporations are at the top of their field and spend more time trying to hack, reverse engineer or break something than they do actually coding the features itself. Plus this is probably something they have been working on in the background for years.
I wont ever need the feature that Facebook is offering but equally neither will 99.99% of their user base, just a few people that made a bad choice at a point in time.
If your a student at school and have made mistake, then surely uploading an image to Facebook where its anonymized automatically is better than 1000 students at the same school being able to share the picture around the school/town/world.
I really do see it as a good thing -
In theory the idea is actually quite good i think, if it's purely automated and no Facebook employee's can get access to them. Facebook has been using image recognition(via alt text) for over 2 years from what i have observed personally and it's actually highly accurate.
Some might say , use Photoshop and swap faces and keep the same body with a different head. I don't think this will work as like i said the image recognition Facebook is using is accurate beyond belief.
Everybody does something that they regret in life and young people are more likely to send or allow pictures of their bits to be taken. Then if the said pictures are circulated around friends then the effects can be life changing.
I'm not a big lover of Facebook to be honest but at least they are trying to do something good, while they secretly suck the info out of your other open browser tabs for "marketing purposes".
Sadly there are alternative means for sending pictures to people... using Picture messages, Whatsapp, Snapchat, Skype and hundreds more. At least Facebook is making an effort in this area and no doubt others will follow suit and offer a similar service.
Being a big business in the online world is to be innovative or disappear (do or die). Plus these companies are now being tasked with being more responsible and accountable with the data that they hold.
Overall a good idea, but sadly not adopted widely across the board to be of any substantial means of distribution of pictures. -
@ino1thing i have the same setup with outlook 2016 and don't have any issues(not using comcast though). Have you checked with comcast to see if they have changed the incoming/outgoing port numbers.
This might be worth a try if you have not tried it yethttps://www.xfinity.com/support/internet/configure-outlook-2013-email/
