Future changes to ESET NOD32 Antivirus, ESET Internet Security, ESET Smart Security Premium and ESET Ultimate Security

[TheStill 29]

I hate when things are changed for the sake of change. I like that ESET maintains the same interface throughout multiple versions and yearly updates. Antivirus isn't like an ide that you maybe staring at for a while. It should sit in the background and rarely be interacted with. Last thing anyone should want to do is waste 10 minutes looking for a setting because the interface has been updated.

I would like to suggest that LiveGuard is introduced into the Internet Security version for a number of reasons but primarily that it would improve EIS's ability to protect users...the ability to quickly respond to zero day threats is now a requirement of all ISs...and most of the competition that ESET faces is from ISs that have already implemented this feature.

IMHO it should not be used as a marketing tool...ESSP already differentiates from EIS sufficiently given the current additional features available.

Just saying...for what it is worth. 🙂

I'd like to check if generating OTPs is planned for ESET Password Manager?

Offering a simple migration from Bitwarden is very nice, but not warning the users that OTPs will be lost is a really bad practice btw.

Thanks,

D.

Eset doesn’t develop the password manager. It’s a port of Saferpass.

I would like to suggest the following changes if possible to make in NOD 32:

1. Sorry if my opinion is wrong in any way but why don't we put an option for complete system scan with in-depth scan choosing option on first hand in outer dashboard without going into the custom scan and choose for in-depth scan. Please kindly make a not that this way  beginner user can run scan easily and cut down the steps to do so. This changes can, I think will make our ESET more user friendly. 

2.

As mentioned in this topic bellow 

 

I'd like to suggest having a page that shows a list of all modules and their version numbers, dates etc. for both Stable and Pre-Release updates.

The idea is simple - if someone thinks their product might not be updating, they can check the list, and see if their modules match. I've seen some people question that some modules haven't updated in a while, and have worried they have a problem. This would reduce posts about this, and mean people can possibly identify update issues.

Thank you for that bit of information. 😇

ESET Notifications

It would be good if the notifications can be tweaked - preferably with a font size that is a bit larger and have a solid white style notifications without the transparency thingy.

*Suggestion* - password manager as separate program which i can run from start menu or desktop as eset password manager.exe
 

I would like to see password manager as separate program. And also connected (synchronized with my.eset.com without have any license free 20 items for example) 

And also allow free version (for example 20 accounts/items) if more then Pro version like other. 

[nabeelmansoor 22]

Missed Notifications:

Add a Notification bell next to the ESET HOME tab providing visibility for users on missed alearts/notifications and threats.

[nabeelmansoor 22]

Include a Youtube/or any other streaming network heuristic ad blocker for protected browsers blocking ads and banners on video content. (Malwarebytes browserguard has incorporated this feature)

Description:  Ease of Enabling Gamer Mode by Adding Enable/Disable Option to ESET System Tray Icon
Detail:  Reduce number of clicks to get to and enable Gamer Mode by adding Gamer Mode to the list of Tools/Actions menu when right clicking on the ESET system tray icon. I count 5 to 6 clicks to get to Gamer Mode based on if you have the ESET system tray icon showing or not. Adding Gamer Mode to the system tray icon will aid in ease of use, cut down number of clicks to enable a feature worthy to exist in the application itself, and make end users happy as I see this requested in some form or fashion.

 

Thanks ESET team!

Incorporate a fast and smooth optimized web experience. Prevent ads running on youtube as a part of the secure browsing option.

Virusradar - Display threats in real time

It would be nice to see if ESET's Virusradar display threats in real time - similar to Bitdefender's Threatmap (https://threatmap.bitdefender.com/) or Kaspersky's Cybermap (https://cybermap.kaspersky.com/)

Agree.

Apart from that, add sample submission function to Virusradar for convenient and traceable malware sample submission.

Remove "More Tools" button and include all tools under the Tools option. "More Tools" button just does not make sense its an additional unwanted click to get into additional tools.

When I hover the mouse over ESET tray icon I get "ESET version....."

First, everyone knows that the icon if for ESET, no need for explanation

Second, displaying the version does not mean anything; we do not know if it is the last version or not, unless we search deep on the internet.

More useful would be a message like :

 

"ESET update performed at 10:25AM, 25.07.2022"

Please introduce new features to ESET Smart Security Premium or ESET Internet Security.

1. Add two factor authentication via sms text message over mobile device. A lot of users don't use 2fa based on authenticator app. Make sure sms based 2fa is required for any ESET login and for first time logging in over ESET Password manager's app over any platform. It is a basic feature which is necessarily required.

2. Ask for Password when scanning "password protected zip files / password protected archives". Show a screen with ESET interface to provide user to enter Password when scanning via computer scan or context menu scan for password protected zip files and so that ESET can deal with the threats without decompressing the content of zip files. Kaspersky and Bitdefender provide such options. Its good to see if ESET introduces it as well.

3. I think ESET protects keyloggers from intercepting data when entered into Protected browser. But ESET can provide Keylogging protection by scrambling the data entered in browser. Sophos Home Premium provides such features. It will be interesting to see such features in ESET Smart Security Premium.

New firewall filtering mode:

LiveGrid-based (reputation-based mode): Unlike automatic mode, reputation based mode uses reputation information from the LiveGrid. The firewall automatically allows trusted applications to make outbound connections and notifies users when unknown applications attempt to connect to the Internet.

when dark mode and windows 11 rounded corners ?

I am using Smart Security Premium v15, Home Edition, on a Windows 10 Acer Laptop.

I frequently get "File is blocked for analysis" pop-ups, which are unhelpful to me, as they do not tell me which file, what the associated process is, or what path the file is trying to access.  The log file viewer of the ESET GUI, does not provide this information.

As you can see from the attached screen shot, all that log provides is the date and time of the detection (for which I receive a pop-up) followed by a 'file safe to use' time and date (when the pop-up notification occurred).

What I want to know is:  a)  What is the file name being blocked/analyzed, b) why it is being blocked/analyzed, and c) what program/file path is associated with the blocked file beyond "<Computer Name>/<User Name>.

The support technicians have informed me that this information is not available through the home edition.  I would request that it be made available to the home edition.  I would very much like to know what process/program is behaving suspiciously enough to warrant a file being sent for analysis and why it is being sent  (i.e. looks like 'xxx' trojan.) and where this program/process resides on my computer (ie. drive and file path).

I am posting the request here as that is where the support technician said I should post it.  The case number is:  #00389448

Thank you,

Kevin

Description: Re-enable the user to sort firewall rules (e.g. in alphabetical order) in interactive mode
Detail: When viewing the contents of a folder in Windows-Explorer, the user can sort the items by any of the categories that are shown in the "Details" layout, e.g. Name, Date Modified, Type, Size etc. That possibility to sort items is essential when working with large lists. Users of the interactive firewall mode are collecting dozens of firewall items, and I found myself missing the sorting feature several times now. To me, this is an essential feature, affecting the usability of the interactive firewall mode.

This feature has been requested way back in 2016 here: https://forum.eset.com/topic/7473-sorting-the-firewall-rules-list-by-name-date-etc/. As it seems, the list sorting feature was available in earlier versions. Please bring it back!

Simple one...rename the 'System Cleaner' to something more relavant/approrpiate to what it actually does, i.e., something like System Setting Restore or Suystem Setting Cleaner.

Just calling it what it is now gives the impression that it is a system cleaner in the larger sense of the phrase, i.e., cleams temp files, registory, shortcuts, etc....like many of ESET's competition now bundle into their suites.

Description: Allow LiveGuard to work with download managers

Detail:   Currently if you download via a download manager, LiveGuard will not work properly.

I downloaded a test file and it would not run, no are you sure you want to open this type of file alert but noticed the file has been sent by liveguard in the logs. This was with Free Download Manager (fdm). No alert from liveguard.

Correct behaviour worked when using Chrome to download the file. Liveguard popped up saying it was checking the file etc.
