I'm split. I wouldn't mind if Eset introduced it but there's the debate if AVs should basically focus on being AVs and leave the other stuff to other users. 0x55 and LesRMed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Insiders yeoldfart 152 Posted August 26, 2021 ESET Insiders Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) I technically can't see any difficulty to develop or (why not) buy and make thrive such a product: the market is there, Eset have the techs it needs and strong customers asset... so why not ? I tried Proton, now using Express VPN. Edited August 26, 2021 by yeoldfart typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New_Style_xd 69 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Description: MyEset with more tools. Detail: You could do as KASPERSKY does in her product, put more options for the user, giving the option of Scanning and other settings remotely. peteyt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that KASPERSKY's product has a lot of tools in its products, I really wanted ESET to also have products like the competitor, with this Kaspersky every day is gaining more market because of the varied security products, it would be time for eset to open their eyes so they don't get left behind on their products?

I case anyone is wondering what is referred to here, this is the Kaspersky article on the subject: https://support.kaspersky.com/us/common/start/13879#block4 . First note that Kaspersky's protection configuration can be modified remotely. Given the hacking incidents of myeset accounts of late, I for one think the feature is ill advised.

itman 1,746 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Now if you want to add a Kaspersky feature to Eset, top on my list is System Watcher that can rollback malware system modifications including ransomware changes.

FYI: https://media.kaspersky.com/pdf/Kaspersky_Lab_Whitepaper_System_Watcher_ENG.pdf . One of the many things it does is protect your MBR which Eset does not. Yeah great, Eset might be able to detect the MBR malware after the fact, but it can't remove it. Ditto for malware that modifies for example, an autorun location to start itself at boot time. Eset again might detect the process startup but removing the autorun entry needs to be done manually.

Am I understanding that KASPERSKY is a better product than ESET? From what I'm seeing there's more security. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I'm seeing there's more security. It has different features. When it comes to AVs it depends on a number of factors e.g. test results, false positive etc. Kaspersky is avoided by some also due to the US allegations of the Russian government having a hand in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I'm seeing there's more security. I'll answer this question as follows. If Kaspersky was not a Russian based AV solution, I would be using it instead of Eset. Note that Kaspersky has moved its corporate headquarters to Switzerland. However, its developers are still based in Russia.

ESET Insiders NewbyUser 74 Posted August 31, 2021 ESET Insiders Share Posted August 31, 2021 The move to Switzerland increased their ties to SVR not decreased them. GDPR doesn't apply to the Swiss. They have their own DPA, which essentially ensures complete privacy. New_Style_xd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_Style_xd 69 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I wonder if ESET staff are reading and taking our opinions into account? Was taking a look and previous comments, there are several opinions about ideas suggested by customers, but so far none of them have been placed in the ESET product. so it generated this doubt that they are looking at our comments.

Yes, this forum is read by product managers when considering changes and new features in our products. Moreover, in case of business products we travel across the world, meet with our business customers in person to talk and listen to them in order to tailor our products to their needs.

Cisco back in 2016 developed a Windows driver back in 2016 to prevent MBR write access: https://talosintelligence.com/mbrfilter . They promptly made the code open source and it can also be downloaded from Github here: https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/MBRFilter . I brought this up in the forum shortly thereafter as to inclusion into Eset. It's now 2021 and still no MBR modification protection from Eset.

I'm very concerned about that you said this in 2016 and to date it has not been included in the ESET product for consumers.
