Sammo 8 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 The new Microsoft Edge Chromium is not protected by Eset NOD32. Eset will only protect it if I rename msedge.exe to chrome.exe When will Eset address this? Microsoft will soon be releasing a final version and it would be a shame if Eset ignored them.

Administrators Marcos 4,910 Posted June 6, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 6, 2019 Edge has never been supported as a secure browser because of the sandbox WDAG container technology that it run is, separated from the actual kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammo 8 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 The new Edge is a Chromium based browser and is protected if I rename msedge.exe to chrome.exe as a test. Since it is a Chromium based browser when will Eset protect it? I have a multi year multi device license and feel that I have a right to this protection. Please test the new Edge.

itman 1,627 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Quote One of the other features in the flags section of Edge is the ability to enable “App Container Lockdown”. This is a security feature that Microsoft will use to sandbox processes in Windows to add an additional layer of security when venturing into darker corners of the web. https://www.petri.com/microsofts-upcoming-chromuim-based-edge-browser-has-few-features-for-the-enterprise In other words, the new Edge browers will employ the same security features as the old Edge browser.

Sammo 8 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 What about the Eset anti-phishing protection? All other antiviruses that have a web shield will protect the new Edge from phishing. Will Eset as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must work because the content is filtered before a browser receives data. You can provide instructions how you tested so that we can check if you did everything alright.

MartinPe 10 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Well, you know it's still in beta right? Pretty sure Eset will evaluate the when the next version of Edge gets finally released. And that's not in a long shot going to be this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) could it be that esets cetificate is not included in your certificate store beacuse this site is using tls? @firefox users - firefox did some profile changes since ff 67. every firefox channel (stable, beta, dev, nightly) is now using its own profile. so the certificate store is not the same.

Does this mean features like banking don't work on Edge? I remember the feature always worked with Chrome despite enabling appcontainer in it. Though, I wonder if the banking feature was changing the Chrome process to untrusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some testing a while back in regards to Edge and Eset B&PP. Now, it is possible things have changed since then. I set Edge to my default browser. Manually running Eset B&PP from the desktop opened Edge as a protected browser w/o issue. Whether Eset B&PP was fully functional in regards to keystroke protection and the like, I did not test for.

ESET Insiders SlashRose 25 Posted June 26, 2019 ESET Insiders Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) For me, this is already blocked by the Defender Smart Screen with Edge, but there is nothing to see about Eset's protection!

Sammo 8 Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) I fixed the issue by changing the filtering method of msedge.exe from Auto to Scan. Now both Eset and Smartscreen protect the new Edge. Edited June 29, 2019 by Sammo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does for me. See the above screen shot I posted. I also just retested with the same result, Eset detects it. Do you have SSL/TLS scanning enabled?
