Janus 210 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hey Eset Today I have updated my Eset to version 8, and in that regard I have some question, please. Is H.I.P.S. in smart mode more like a behaviour blocker, that works of course in the boundary of the predefined rules. And does anyone have a screen shot of what the warning notification could look like. Second question goes more like this: I saw that I still have to use the WAIK to create a sysrescue disk under the section "tools". But I can see that from your homepage I am able to create a live rescue disk based on linux. Why is it, that the sysrescue cd under the section "tools" is not linked to the live sysrescue cd/usb, that is in my perspective much easier to handle/create for an average "Home" user. Kind Regards Janus ( A greeting to SweX, Arakasi and Tomface hope everything is well ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweX 871 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hey Janus! I think the questions you're asking are good, we still don't know a lot about the smart mode and what it really is -> "User will be notified only about very suspicious events." Maybe they can give an example of what a "very suspicious event" could be. Yeah I am fine, I hope you're fine too my friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janus 210 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 I was somehow surprised to find this " Smart mode " in the H.I.P.S. module. Because it has always been my view, that Eset always has limited the users interaction, so that it was the software that took the decisions, more or less. But I really like the idea, if it is so, that Eset user could choose between classical H.I.P.S. functions, or a more restrained (limited ) behavior blocker in smart mode. I really like the idea of this duality. If it is so.... Yeah I am fine and kicking SweX, after a fine summer =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomFace 539 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hello Janus! Very good to see you (so to speak )! I am doing OK and am glad to hear you are fine! How are things in Arecibo? As far the Smart mode in H.I.P.S. until you pointed it out I was unaware! Interesting Take care my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janus 210 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 I would have loved to been there, (where a certain 007 agent has walked). But for now I hope I have a little bit of luck, regarding Eset answering my two questions. I am just curious regarding their respond. (if i gets any ) Take care Tomface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arakasi 549 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Good day Janus, Quite a warm good feeling to hear from you. I took a month or two break myself to do some catching up on personal matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janus 210 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hey Arakasi, and thanks for your kind words . But I guess I am not so much a forum man anymore, due to huge piles of lovely work. ( .. no I am not crazy, yet but I know it is concerning behaviour LOL). Just curious regarding my two questions. But it is really nice to know that,competent top users (and others) like you and SweX and Tomface is still around to guide and help. I hope Eset appreciate your effort, and ideas. But that , I am sure that they do. Take care.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugk 397 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hello, Janus. You seem to be quite famous. I just like to say that there was another person too, who gave a little (small) feedback recently. And back to topic: Nice questions. I'm looking forward to hear the answers from ESET.

ESET Moderators foneil 342 Posted October 30, 2014 ESET Moderators Share Posted October 30, 2014 First, yes, Janus is famous and we've missed him...second, we (I know I do) appreciate you all janus, Arkasi, swek, rugk, tomface as top contributors to the Forum and excellent resources for ESET on the Forum (me just posting to this thread with this elite group is an honor). Regarding the Smart mode, here is the information I have, but I'm sure that other ESET moderators that are developers can give a more technical response (I only helped to write the news description, below). Description HIPS Smart mode: Only suspicious system events trigger a notification beyond the set of pre-defined rules in Automatic mode (operations such as system registry, active processes and programs). [see NEWS294] As you all have indicated in this thread, the reason for this new mode was to make less interactions for the user but still filter using HIPS. There are more "very suspicious events" of course, but I'm checking whether that is public information. Basically, the pop-up notifications will display less often than when in Interactive mode and only for certain criteria that ESET has established as "very suspicious." Warning notification This is the notification that a user would see with Smart mode enabled: The new Filtering mode is between the Automatic and Interactive modes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESF gift oct30.jpg For some reason my heart took an extra beat and my hands got all sweaty I actually didn't know that you knew that my birthday is Nov 6. Psychic powers I guess....or just good timing And thank you for your kind words above, I can only say the same about you, Aryeh, and all the other mods too. And thanks for the information and screenie about the smart mode. I am not sure if you are "the man" behind the KB site and does all the work on the KB articles. But I think you (plus if there is some more people involved) do a fantastic job with that. Edited October 31, 2014 by SweX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janus 210 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Hello foneilAs I wrote in my pm, thanks for the kind words, they are very much appreciated. Foneil, did you noticed my second question in my original post? If not then it comes here as a copy and paste: " I saw that I still have to use the WAIK to create a sysrescue disk under the section "tools". But I can see that from your homepage I am able to create a live rescue disk based on linux. Why is it, that the sysrescue cd under the section "tools" is not linked to the live sysrescue cd/usb, that is in my perspective much easier to handle/create for an average "Home" user" . I am just wondering why Eset is still using WAIK in your product for home users. when you have created such a fine product as your live sysrescue cd.Kind regrads Janus =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Moderators foneil 342 Posted October 31, 2014 ESET Moderators Share Posted October 31, 2014 SysRecue Live is only available as a standalone utility at the moment. There are two Utility pages with tools for SysRescue, the International hxxp://www.eset.com/int/download/utilities/ and North American hxxp://www.eset.com/us/download/utilities/ The North American page links to SOLN3509, "How do I use ESET SysRescue Live to clean my computer?" and that has both methods for creating SysRescue. The International page takes you to the iso download.

Arakasi 549 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Thank you Fer for your kind words, and thank you Aryeh as well. I love helping and supporting ESET. It has been an honor to meet majority of the people at the top, as well as the opportunity to become a partner, and assist with anything and everything i can on the forums. No security company will ever sway my allegience or impress me in the amount that ESET has. The people behind the support and security against malware, are even greater than the product itself. ...and yes, Foneil is one of the contributors behind the KB articles, but common sense tells you he works on a team. They all do a fantastic job here as well as in the departments they work in. I presume they are hard in development in having the linux sysrescue incorporated into the windows software, however much planning must go into cross system integration, since at current time, windows ESET products create a windows boot disk. Maybe a link in the gui to the linux building tool below the windows, will suffice. Edited November 2, 2014 by Arakasi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugk 397 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Yeah, thanks to @foneil and @Aryeh Goretsky and thanks to all other people behind ESET! Very thanks for this gift (although I still don't know what exactly it is ), but especially thanks for all the nice products you created! Stick to your principles and enjoy safer technology! Related: ESET Ranks Among Fastest Growing Big Tech Companies in Central Europe for More than a Decade And... @foneil In your first post in this topic, you wrote @SweX's name a bit wrong... And in some of the other names there are missing some letters too. Edited November 2, 2014 by rugk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
