KeithErnest 0 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hello , First of all I've been using ESET since ages , so I remember the age when I used to use v4 So I have a worry , that version 4 might be a little bit outdated? , maybe to switch to the endpoint product for Linux? Or it's fine ? , maybe malware ,viruses can now bypass v4 outdated technology Am I wrong somewhere? if so please correct me . Thanks in advance.

Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted January 5, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 5, 2021 V4 still receives module updates so you are protected. Moreover, the number of malware on Linux is much smaller than on Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Most Valued Members Nightowl 202 Posted January 6, 2021 Most Valued Members Share Posted January 6, 2021 V4 should be considered as an obsolete software that is no longer maintained but only receive signature updates It's not an antivirus to rely on with newest malware techniques , I believe it can be considered as a scanner only. Endpoint product should work better as it's new developed but still it lacks GUI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so as you would need a business license to activate it And it's managed through terminal or EMSC Edited January 6, 2021 by Nightowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Linux user but the only reason I asked is it is still advertised online but EOL has ended "Also note that ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Linux desktop v4 has already reached EOL and is not supported. As a temporary replacement we provide ESET Endpoint Antivirus for Linux v7." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be only possible to manage it through terminal or a security center which most people won't have I tried to install it but it failed to run on my Linux unfortunately.

Thibaultmol 0 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I recently installed nod32 on linux and also noticed the ancient UI and license. WHY is it advertised if it's a legacy product is what I'm wondering. There was no CLEAR way to tell that it's not an active product anymore. Also: I'm fine with going trough a portal to use the endpoint antivirus but then you need to be able to just buy one license like we can now....

Thibaultmol 0 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Another thing I don't understand: "eset security endpoint for linux" is just the same nod32 v4 client but with 'business' slapped on it, from the looks of it. How is it different from normal nod32.. both seem outdated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted January 29, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2021 1, ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Linux desktop is a legacy product, however, we will keep releasing module updates for it for the next 1-2 years at least. 2, Users with an EAV for LD license will be offered ESET Endpoint Antivirus v7 later this year. EEA v7 is completely different from EAV for LD v4, you can find help at https://help.eset.com/eeau/7/en-US/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i look up online, ESET endpoint security for Linux just install the nod32 business edition. Which again, is the outdated application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESET Endpoint Antivirus v7 was released last year and the last version 7.1.9.0 was released this week: Currently it's available only for users with a business license but it should be available also for consumers later this year as a temporary solution before ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Linux desktop v7 becomes available.

Am I correct in that ESET Endpoint antivirus doesn't have an interface/gui? (only command line). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
