Add stream update

Don't know what you mean exactly, however, ESET already uses a kind of stream updates as long as LiveGrid is enabled.

Localization of the program for particular countries.

Fix a width of a drop-down menu.

Add possibility to sort by clicking on the columns in Quarantine and Log files (just like in the Running processes window).

I would love to see a customizable GUI.

Add app icon in firewall rules. Sort rules by Allow, Deny. Add colors to rules. Green=Allow. Red=Deny.

Maybe search window in firewall. Create categories in firewall and be able to send created rules to desired catogery. That way you can get firewall rules better organized and easier to find rules. Everything now feels grey and hard to find.

I would love to see lower RAM usage. In ESS 9 is ~150MB, but in ESS 4 was ~50MB

I'm sorry but I don't get it. Is RAM really that much expensive nowadays that users would need to save every MB at the cost of smaller number of signatures in the database and higher performance impact? Newer versions use RAM for unpacking files and keeping information about scanned files for the purpose of optimizing scans and lowering performance impact.

[shocked 60]

in case a user has 32bit OS, there is a limit to how much ram can be installed.

anyway eset has always tried to keep the resources at a minimum level so the products can be as light as possible.

 

also each year that the technology behind it's products is evolving there will be an slight increase to the required and in-use resources on the pc.

Maybe new release of ESS will be on Cloud? RAM usage will be lower and 0-day detection will be much better? What do you think about this: Eset Cloud-Security?

If your Windows is in cloud one day,then why not:)

Well, it doesn't get "much better" automatically only because you put most of the software in the cloud and use a thin client on your computer, and "cloud" is only a word, what's going on in the cloud with the logics (algorithms, heuristics, behavior analysis)..and so forth is what actually matters. LiveGrid is ESET:s cloud back-end system that the software gets assistance from in real-time, and how ESET will improve LiveGrid and how the software takes advantage of LiveGrid in the future - time will tell.

 

The thing is that the RAM is very fast, so having the software loaded in the RAM results in that you get better system performance, but that is not possible if prio nr1 is to keep the RAM usage as low as possible. I personally prefer to have my security sofwares run locally but like that they have in-built cloud features that takes advantage of a cloud back-end system like LiveGrid, the best of both worlds.

having an entire OS on cloud automatically means to have a perfect internet connection. in greece vdsl (30 or 50 mbps) is not even on the 5% of the country's homes.

 

we barely have 14mpbs on some areas. i prefer having my OS and programs offline and local on my hard disk.

[SCR 195]

I don't think the Cloud would be feasible for me with .50 - 2 mbps 5GB cap connection. When the wind blows the right way and I have my tongue in the correct cheek between the first and second molar it may hit 1.5 - 3.0 mbps.

Hi,

What i'm waiting most for a lot of time, is a complete sandox included in smart security as Kaspersky does.

It is a very important tool for security and you begin shyly this year to introduce it with the new Banking and Payment Protection, which is a sort of small sandbox for some specific usage. In my opinion, this tool is too limited for the moment and not enough convenient for daily use.

There is no direct access (have to open smart security panel and go to tools) instead of a quick access by the tray menu or right click menu. Also it doesn't cover all the banking needs where security is particulary important. For example, my bank provide me a tool to connect to it to ask for a virtual card number before shopping, to avoid to give my real card number. This tool can't be protected by your new system because it seems to protect only Internet Explorer, as far as i understand it.

So I dream of a real complete sandbox, easy to use (right click menu, "load application in sandbox") that allow to use any program in a secure environment (to protect from keylogger, screen capture and so on). Can be also very useful to test a new software safely, if we are not sure that it can contains some malware.

Thanks for reading.

I would like to be able to sort the rules in the alphabetical order of HIPs rules. It can be alot to go through. I would also like if you could create groups and send rules to that group in HIPS. I have hard time to focus on details in advance setting because of the GUI. Maybe thats just me. But overall I love ESS.

Actually you can access it through a desktop shortcut created when installing v9 or - in case you deleted it or it was no0t created - you can add it back by adding this shortcut:

"%programfiles%\ESET\ESET Smart Security\ecmd.exe" /startprotectedbrowser

Depending on your installation path you may have to adjust this value.

Description: change size of desktop notification

Detail: Present desktop notification is unnecessary big with too much empty space. Why?? Older desktop notifications was nice and small, brief message in max two lines what happen is quite good enough and who want to know more, can click and open whole message. It would be very convenient to possible change size as the same as ANY window in Windows can be changed simply by catch corner (for example upper left corner) and drag with mouse. And of course, NOD32 would remember that size and use it for any future notification. Is it so hard to create such simple feature?

Description: ESET Smart Security V9 support for Japanese language

Detail: Currently live installer of ESS V9 isn't supporting Japanese. Hope its translation will be completed soon. I'm testing ESS V9 and almost satisfied except for this issue(may be addressed in future), and I'll definitely recommend ESET products to my friends when Japanese edn will be available  Cheers!

ESET products have been available in Japanese since v2 which was released in 2002. You should be able to download it from our Japanese partner www.canon-sol.jp who has exclusive rights for distribution of ESET's products in your country.

Thanks for your reply Marcos. The latest ESS in Japanese is V8.0.304 (not 319) and that has some translation glitches. I can't update to 8.0.319 because it hasn't been released yet by the distributor. V9 isn't available for now as well. Kind of frustrating because it takes a bit more time till I can recommend to others

[Marcos 5,259]

The Japanese distributor releases product updates with a bigger delay as they must pass their strict QA testing in addition to QA testing performed by ESET HQ. There's no need to hurry with upgrade to v9 anyways, at least not before the upcoming service build which will address issues reported by users so far.

 

As for the garbled string in your screen shot, I wonder if you could post another one where the ESET window would be completely visible. Without it it's hard to figure out the problematic string.

Description: have option to remove notification from parent control not configured.

Detail: I use parental control on myself so that it can filter my google results. as a result it is constantly orange and my eset home screen is orange. I use eset smart security 9 on windows 10.

 

thanks.
