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

[DonH 5]

I would like to see the ability to exclude a particular file type from a particular URL. For example, I often log into the cPanel of a website I maintain and download backups of the site. The files are all .tar.gz, If I connect using a web browser, the download times out and is corrupted. If I connect by SFTP, I can set ESS to not scan the ssl protocol and the download completes with no issues. Downloading by https is not an option. The domain is a very active email server address, so excluding the entire URL would also exclude mail from the address, not a viable option, either. There is always the possibility of malware being injected into the site, so I wouldn't want to lose that protection, either, I just want to exclude a meg+ .tar.gz from being scanned from a particular URL. Come to think about it, the file type is not something that you would ever encounter in 'normal' web pages. It would probably work to just exclude the file type.

You can exclude a particular address from content filtering in the URL address management setup if you trust it.

Hello,

 

Not every requested feature can be added at once.  ESET's project managers have to carefully look at the technical and market requirements for each request.  Sometimes, the amount of work required to implement a requested feature may mean that it needs to be put off for a few version releases until enough engineering time can be budgeted to implement, test and maintain the feature.  And sometimes, a feature might be requested that is just out of scope, offers little real-world benefit to customers or may even be against ESET's business practices.

 

In any case, what I would suggest is to provide as detailed a description as possible of the feature you are requesting, in order for ESET's project managers to make better sense of it, and a little patience, as not everything can be done at once.

 

Regards,

 

Aryeh Goretsky

Hello

We had asked for a strong start a behavior analyst white list And Sandbox like the rest of protections and also that the Arab program supports have you said to us that you will be surprised all the world's seventh edition But like the sixth version like nothing new V depends on the database and Web protection and lacks the layers of protection, Sandbox and white list and we hope you improve it in the next update or reply to us even know that it will become stronger or move on to a program like This is not what we want because of our deep love for the program Thank you

Memory scanning inmediately after Re-enabling the Advanced Memory Scanner

 

Similar to that of Filesystem protection for stopping running infiltrations in memory

Edited November 7, 2013 by toxinon12345

[Veeshush 3]

Actually being able to sort the list in "Running processes" by Process, risk level, Number of users, Time of Discovery and Application name. You know, simliar to Windows Explorer sorting. And then if possible, a link to VirusTotal for the "risk level unkowns".

Parental Control: 

More selective Web content parsing and blocking similar to that of eScan Web protection

I like the newway of displaying notifications

Sometimes some localized versions cannot display the whole message in the notification

 

 

[PCdoc 2]

Since previous releases, there's been two annoying features in nod32 and smart security:

1) There is no way to stop startup scan once it's started. Of course you can schedule it or remove from the schedule list so that it won't run ever. But the startup scan is an essential scan that should be done at least once or twice a day. Its sometimes anoying that you can't cancel/stop this scan when you are doing some important work and this scan is eating a lot of memory / your work is inurrupted for some reason.

2) When you insert a USB storage device, the scan starts automatically. For some reason, you don't want that drive to be scanned or it is taking too long to complete the scan you wan't to abort it so that you can use that usb device elsewhere to continue some important work or some one is waiting  for that usb device so that he can take it. You try to abort the scan, the scan refuses to pause / stop unless it finishes scanning that one particular file.

I am not comparing the above with 'other' security softwares as according to me these 'other' software have no comparison with the best Eset technology. I have been using Nod32 since the year 2000 and I can understand how much the above problems have annoyed me in the past.

Is there a possibility to create some sort of alert for the HIPS when policy based mode blocks something? It's very annoying to have to go check the log to see if anything has been blocked.

Each HIPS rule has an option "Notify user". When enabled, a notification will pop up whenever a rule is applied.

[LoneGeek810 7]

I'm not seeing that, is it in the main settings or rule editor?

 

 

Ok I found it but that's for rules that have been created, what happens if something is blocked that isn't in the rules editor?

There's an option "Log all blocked operations" in the advanced HIPS setup. However, we don't recommend enabling it unless you need to troubleshoot an issue caused by HIPS, otherwise large logs could be generated which would have adverse effect on the overall system performance.

[LoneGeek810 7]

I would love to get an alert whenever policy mode blocks anything, i'd use it more, cause no matter how many rules I have it always seems to still block something and interactive mode is way to chatty.

"Tools > Submit sample for analysis" needs a progress bar for the uploads, I never know if they were sent or not.

[xmanx 0]

A sandbox,  placed under " tools "

[atoms97 0]

Description : A data leak prevention that detects and prevents data breach by network monitoring.

 

Motivation : In a case of a system infection, and the bypass of the HIPS protection, it could be interesting to inspect the traffic and block protected content(like users passwords, credit card numbers, etc...).

 

P.S : excuse my bad English

I think Eset should include a product updates to solve various problems facing by some users after upgrading to a newer version. I read sevaral posts regarding to problems after upgrading to v7. Eset should pay more attention to these users otherwise they will change to other AV products and give negative comment to Eset as well.

What do you mean in particular? Any software contains certain bugs, including operating systems developed by thousands of engineers. ESET's goal is to provide as flawless products as possible even at the cost of postponing the release if a more serious issue is found. V7 had been thoroughly tested also by users around the world in various system environments for several months before it went gold. Basically the only known bug in v7 is that Antiphishing doesn't get automatically re-enabled from the disabled state as other protection modules do. Then there have been some performance issues with Advanced memory scanner reported which are caused by the behavior of particular applications. These are not bugs but rather something that requires optimization of AMS so that the applications don't cause any issues to AMS.

[Weng 3]

 

I appreciate that Eset is putting a lot of efforts to make it flawless product. I  just joined this forum a couple days ago and I saw some posts  that Eset may still having some bugs. I know it is just invidual case but new users may worry that Eset has lot of bugs and lose confidence with Eset. By the way I'm having a good time with Eset Smart Security. What I meant is I wish that when Eset should lauch an update to fix some known bugs which Eset is currently doing or create a bug report topic to let users report bugs and solve it permanatly ( I know that this is quite imposiible to have a perfect product which satisfy everyone because bugs appear from time to time and every bugs is differ from others), FInal words,  I love Eset and thats why I want Eset to be better.

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

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

ESET's response was that a site is either good or bad, there's nothing inbetween wich is why they haven't added a traffic light system for links. If it's bad or potentially suspicious then it's blocked, and if it's good then you're allowed access. I am split in this question, but I do agree with ESET on this that's it's not really needed. Useful perhaps but not needed. I guess I belong in the group that thinks "only add features if it's really needed" to keep the product as small as possible. And nothing will prevent the user from clicking on a link with a red mark only because ESET says so. "Red mark why? pffft I will go there anyway"

ESET, you mad !
