I use online banking alot but I still feel comfortable with ESS.
This is not an Anti-Phishing test, AFAIK
-
It sounds like it is one of these cases when the programs tries to update/check for updates, before the internet connection is fully established. Like on first boot, or waking the computer up from sleep. Because like you say, you can update manually just fine, and it will auto update normally every hour after you have seen the error.
I even noticed Update cache is not used for already downloaded modules, specially in slow connections when Update failed after 83% progress
All the files are downloaded again !
The update cache is used only for Succesful Updates

HIPS-Unterstützung: 1100B (20131024)
Erweiterter Spam-Schutz: 1535P (20131121)
Means that particular module you obtained is in Pre-release state or Beta state
Usually it means the latest Module Build rather than latest module version
Im using the regular update channel, so my Advanced Anti-Spam module is 1535 (without P)
I could understand the HIPS module in Beta state; as it is continually experimental

Traffic lights for Setup Pane
Most people would fix problems by means of Home Screen the way it currently does
-
The same happens for Parental Control
It seems the Web access protection serves as intermediary
between the [ Firewall Component ] and [ Parental | AntiPhishing ]
But I think that Disabling Web Malware Scanning should not stop Traffic routing to those other components
-
Seems to be only a Visual problem; as the Anti-Phishing protection is always enabled in Advanced Setup
Other problem is the Visual bug in LiveGrid reputation through context menu
I hope these problems will be resolved in future Program Update/Builds

I have an EAV licence, not ESS.
Could be that you had installed ESS before?
I dont know, maybe youve installed EAV on top of ESS

Does ESET still publishes module update information? I remember some time ago, we used to have module update information details, like what were packer details updated and sth like that.
And little deviation to the original topic, but related to VSD. Did anyone see the size of v9061 update, it has 16k entries. So, strange, i never saw a single update having entries having more than 250 or 300 entries..
Seems to be the new v7 is capturing a wave of many Kryptik samples heuristically

Scheduler
Default Task Type: On-Demand computer scan

E) So in my opinion, these two could be reduced to one single option
- "Protocol filtering - Integrate into system", and
- "Protocol filtering - Enable application protocol content filtering"
These are different options
The first options control data routing,,,,,, is the Installation Level of the Firewall;
is the same as Advanced Setup>Network>Personal Firewall>System integration>Only scan application protocols
The second is for actually scan the routed data

Isn't there any additional error code displayed?
18/11/2013 10:47:14 Update module An error occurred while downloading update files.

The only time a report is created is when I try to copy the file to a new location - and the new location is reported, but nor the original file...
Because scan level are different On Read to On Write
-
Motivation : My thought with this Site Advisor or guide is, that it could supplement the parental control, and give the young user or any user, a visual notification about a link/web sites immediate reliability, as Eset see it.
You are refering to Web content filtering
Anti-Spam parsers are proven to be also very effective when combined to URL blocking
Recently ESET won First place thanks to the Anti-Phishing module,,,you can view it here
Currently Parental Controls trust only in reactive methods as URL blocking; without using specific proactive algorithms
If Web parsing could be added into Parental Controls, it would be great
Anyway the yearning of Web reputation seems to be added long time ago

I have just returned to ESET Smart Security 7 after a break trying other bloat ware
I´m impressed too, as ESET is returning to the ages of the "Little NOD",,,
( New features were not an excuse for turning the package into bloatware
) (Parental, Device Control, HIPS, Anti-Phishing, Anti-Theft)- ESET msi package is only 70 MB in size,,,, the smallest package
- ESET continue leading the most advanced heuristics in the world
- Now their usability is extremely high as the GUI is unified and very smart for the end-user (version 7)
-
The file won't be submitted if it has already been submitted by somebody else.
Because the software has mechanisms to avoid uploading files you already submitted or submitted by somebody else (ThreatSense,net cache) For example checksums,,,,etc
I cannot say the same for files manually submitted through context-menu,,,, as I dont know if these are cached or not
Anyway files will be submitted after update I think
-
The "Blocked object" detections come from suspicious websites. V6 updates the list of such websites every few minutes via cloud while older versions update it with every attempt to update, ie. every hour by default.
I don't want to go into details as this forum may also be read by bad guys, you know.
P.S I hope it's OK to share this here, I figure if it weren't OK to talk about it then Marcos wouldn't have told us about this feature in the first place

As for Advanced memory scanner, it's not that it would detect new threats that ESET couldn't recognize before.
It could but only by startup and on-demand scans which did not provide real-time protection to users.
Excellent info!
I like the way the Advanced Memory Scanner map RAM data when specific events happened only........
because, if understand well, a continuous monitoring of processes results in performance lags..
But I think there is a little room for improvement as you can see below
Taking into account Maximum protection and Performance
HIPS Support :
+ Advanced Memory Scanner :
+ Whole memory scanning
...triggered on subsequent AMS approvals/enabled
(not the first time AMS is enabled!...... as it may lag boot process on user logon)
+ Process exclusion
(as some gaming users are reporting performance lags when running ultra-packed applications)
+ Scheduled Tasks
...triggered on all AMS detections
(yes, AMS detections doesnt trigger the Scheduler)

So, the LiveGrid option in ThreatSense engine parameters is some type of background file-queue for building file reputation across all users?LiveGrid file reputation is not applied on files scanned by the on-demand or on-access scanner.
Reputation blocking should be enabled for Web-Mail protection even if data recopilation for LiveGrid is off.

I like the newway of displaying notifications
Sometimes some localized versions cannot display the whole message in the notification
-
Parental Control:
More selective Web content parsing and blocking similar to that of eScan Web protection
-
Memory scanning inmediately after Re-enabling the Advanced Memory Scanner
Similar to that of Filesystem protection for stopping running infiltrations in memory
-
Description: Profile logging
Detail: Log the scan profile used for scan
-
I agree with Marcos, and we haven't really seen what AMS (advanced memory scanner) goes for yet. But I bet ESET knows how effective it is through their internal testing
It is likely that this feature protects against worms that never make it to harddisk.

A suggestion

Not heuristics, but the context in that are operating these heuristics
I cannot wait for the results as new v7 seems to introduce what I`m call a "Just-In-Time Heuristics"
