update Future changes to ESET NOD32 Antivirus

[Janus 210]

Hi

Suggestion.......: A second Eset Theme, (that you could choose eg. under Advanced settings)

Argumentation : Beside the default color layout of the user interface it would be pleasant to have another Eset color theme layout . I have noticed that it can be a bit strenuous to the eyes to look at the white background especially when I have to navigate around the " Advance settings " . It would be pleasant with a more  calm and damped color combination.

Hi

Suggestion ...... : Anti-Theft included in NOD32

Argumentation : I know that the Anti theft feature/service is a selling point for some of your top tier products, but i truly think that you will gain more in sales figures and goodwill if you let the " Anti Theft " feature be something that is incorporated in all of your products. Furthermore it will introduce a feature/service, for a product line like Nod32, that no other, for a similar product, will be able to offer for their users/potential customers as to my knowledge.  

Regards

Janus

Description: About Proxy
Detail: It seems like ESET NOD32 Antivirus only support HTTP proxy in the configuration. Could you add a support for SOCKS5 proxy?  HTTP proxy is limited in my situation and Update ofen fails with "Server not found". I know I can use some tools to convert it , but I hope it more convenient XD.

Please do not post in this topic intended for suggestions for future versions. Instead create a new topic in the ESET NOD32 Antivirus forum or whichever product you have.

Hi Marcos,

 

I suggested to ESET in the past to give us an easier way of whitelisting by allowing us to multi select folders/apps in one shot rather than having to do it one at a time but they never replied to me or implemented it in the latest NOD32.

 

See how easy it is to add items to the exclusion with checkbox multi selection method. this is just on example of many AVs out there which allow that

Exclusions should be used with utter care and used only to resolve specific issues that could not be solved other way with the assistance of customer care. Each exclusion creates a security hole since excluded paths will never be scanned by ESET and possible malware won't be detected even if was otherwise detected and blocked.

Exclusions are a function in your product. Those possibles security holes are already there.   So, why not improve the way exclusions are done like above?

We are in 2019 when dialers have virtually already died out.

There are currently no such plans.

Use ProtonVPN , it's good.

I prefer the AV not to throw me an VPN like Kaspersky does.

I use PureVPN, it's not free, but has good service. And doesn't have connect errors with eset

Hi,

Please add an option to enable/disable an exception - meaning we will be able to add it *once* to the list and then either enable or disable it per need. Today we need to add it or delete it, which is not convenient.

This way it will be part of the config - just either active or not, ready for re-use if needed, when needed.

Thanks.

Add READ/OPEN file operation to HIPS rules.
I am far more concerned about something reading my files than writing them.
Backups are there to handle writing problems, but reading well thats where all my secrets are!

I saw this and was excited i could finally have this, (back when i was on linux i coded my own solution using fanotify but its a bit more annoying with windows and filesystem filter drivers or w/e) and was then sadly dissapointed.

I would just like a way to intercept file open / read events and approve them on a per case basis on certain files,
like say my password vault, ssh keys and whatnot.

Unfortunately HIPS does not support file open/read operations mainly due to performance reasons. In order to protect folders from viewing by unauthorized persons, consider using a folder encryption software.

Thats unfortunate to hear. Wouldn't it only effect performance if it were matching a lot of read rules?
If so that would mostly be the users fault for just straight up setting it on everything.
Perhaps a open rather than a read rule would be better performant?

Folder encryption is a bit meh, my file vault and ssh keys are encrypted anyway. Won't stop a keylogger that i don't know is there, while something attempting to access my files and me getting a notification for it would be a clear giveaway that something is amiss, even on top of encryption.

No, it's monitoring itself which would cause performance overhead regardless of rules created.

Description: Add advanced setting to be able to freely set the maximum size/used space of removable media that can trigger the automatic scan.
Detail: The purpose is to prevent full scans of large removable media drives such as cased external drives but still have the functionallity to trigger full automatic scans for smaller drives such as USB sticks.

 

Although there is some risk with limitations, my proposal is mostly related to performance than security. But it could also be a motivation to use automatic scanning for removable media as it provides better control over the function.
