AGH1965 12 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Description: Button to stop active scan also visible for users without administrator rights. Detail: In the past the button to stop an active scan was also visible for users without administrator rights. When such users pressed the button, they had to enter the administrator password. In my opinion that is how it should be. Unfortunately in v12.1.31.0 the button is not visible for users without administrator rights.

With v11, it always checked for updates AFTER I connected to my internet connection.

Why make an exception for stopping active scans? 4 hours ago, Marcos said: I doubt the behavior was like that. The behavior was certainly like that. I'm not saying the button disappeared with v12.1.31.0. That may have happened with an earlier update. I just noticed the absense with that version. In the past the button disappeared once more with an update. At that time it was reported at this forum and with a later update it reapppeared. (For some odd reason old posts seem to have disappeared from the forum.) However, there is a work-around. Normal users can stop an active scan. They can start egui.exe as administrator. However, if they close that egui.exe, then the normal one doesn't open anymore. That is a bug. Showing a useful button isn't though.

Neilyum 0 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Hi folks! 🙂 I would like to request a minor change to the next Update. The way things are now, when finishing a Scan, the newest version *does* play a sound file upon completion, but it's indistinguishable from any other "Ding" sound played by the System. What I would really like to have is the *option to choose* the sound file (wav, mp3, etc.) that plays when the Scan ends! Thank you for your consideration, and a special Thanks to TomFace for recommending this! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierrot 0 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) Description: Rule to decide if a particular removable media will be scanned or not Detail: If I’m right, nowadays, the only thing we can do is to set a general rule that applies to every removable media that is inserted, in order to decide if it will be scanned or not (in the advanced configuration>malware analysis>removable media). I would find useful, if we could choose for a particular removable media (that particular USB key, that particular external hard drive, that particular DVD, etc.) if it will be scanned when inserted or not. This rule would override the general rule mentionned above. So, one could choose, for instance, as a general rule, to scan every removable device he is inserting, but add an exception (as a particular rule) to avoid the scanning of some particular devices which he knows are safe. I think this option could be set in the rules editor of the device control as an option between “Never scan / Always make a smart scan / Always make a deep scan”. Hopefully you like the idea. Kind regard. Edited April 27, 2019 by Pierrot Removed blank lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWiz82 0 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I logged in to say thanks for a great product If I may suggest this 1) Please add a quick shortcut for game mode, this would be a real changer, Im sure Im not alone on this one. 2) there are moments when EIST service/firewall starts to consume 15-17% of cpu power,. I started to notice this more recently, switching to pre-release channel helped, but it's still not quite what it was before. Aparenlty it's windows new update fault in April 12th, some conflicts with certain AV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was there was whatever reason, it was a bug which was fixed but I say, I doubt the behavior was like that. @Marcos Why do you want EIS to have an inconsistent user interface? A user without administrator rights can edit a scheduled scan if he knows the administrator password, but when such a scheduled scan is running, then that same user can't interrupt it. That is very inconsistent. It doesn't make sense. Nowadays most administrators use an unpriviledged account for normal work and make use of UAC to do things that require administrator rights. Please support that, ESET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applications running in full screen mode activate gamer mode by default in which neither updates nor scans are run. Updates have nothing to do with the log maintenance task.

We have ESET Cloud Administrator for SMB users and ESET Security Management Center for enterprise users. As for home users, it's possible that we'll enable partial management of certain settings via web in the future but that's not planned to be done any time soon to my best knowledge.

Let users have more control. Parental controls to block porn images as well. Allow us to force safe search. 1, Unfortunately, this is a very vague description which doesn't say anything about what features / options you are missing. 2, I don't think there's any software that would perform optical recognition of images. And blocking images just based on the full url is simply impossible because of the infinite number of images on the Internet or thousands of new images taken by cameras every second that can be uploaded to the Internet at any time. Not to mention that optical recognition of images in real-time would substantially slow down browsing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeriousHoax 87 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Description: A Manage application section like Kaspersky or an Application network rules section like Kaspersky or maybe both. Details: Currently there is no way to know which programs I ran on my PC that was trusted by Eset or not. By having an Application manager it would make really easy give a detailed representation. Eset already kind of has this but that's for running processes only but not for all the products and also this window just shows information but I can't interact with it like it's possible in Kaspersky. And for Firewall, it's possible to add rules for specific programs of course but it would be better if there was list of all applications to show what is set to allowed by Eset and what not. This should be interactive too so if a user want to deny let's say "Cleaner" internet connection then the he/she would select Ccleaner from the list and deny it internet access instead of the current situation where user need to manually browser the program to block it in Firewall. The current implementation should always be there of course but my proposed interface would make everything much easier. Also a program can have multiple files that access to the internet. From this list it would be much easier to find that out. So, overall user experience would improve a lot. To have a closer look you may try installing Kaspersky to understand how this two mode works on their product. I don't want Eset to have the exact same to same that Kaspersky has but the basic idea should be the same. I love Eset because it's great product and super lite. But I want Eset to have these features. I'm sure it's not just me but everybody would appreciate it and it will make the product even better.

Sandbox is a special security feature which allows you to run potentially suspicious applications automatically in a completely isolated environment. Programs running within the sandbox have limited access to your files and system, so there is no risk to your computer or any of your other files. This feature is connected to the FileRep cloud feature which identifies new files for additional analysis.

Administrators Marcos 5,267 Posted August 3, 2019 Administrators Share Posted August 3, 2019 There are currently no plans to have a sandbox like Sandboxie. However, Advanced heuristics runs files in a virtual environment and compares the characteristics and behavior with detections that "describe" what is considered malicious. Moreover, business users can take advantage of ESET Dynamic Defense which is an actual cloud sandbox. Also we're working on a sandboxed scanner which should be one of the upcoming additions in ESET's products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
