mongkeh 0 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hello, I am running trial version of Eset Antivirus for Linux Desktop along with McAfee VSE for Linux. I want to know does Eset can do the job like McAfee do, like below? - Find unknown program viruses (Uses heuristic analysis to identify potential new file viruses.) - Find unknown macro viruses (Perform heuristics analysis to identify any potential new macro threats in files created by Microsoft Office products) - Decode MIME encoded files (Decodes email messages that are typically encoded in Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions MIME format) - Find potentially unwanted programs (Scans for threat programs such as spyware, remote-access utilities, and password crackers) - Find joke programs - Decompress Archive (Scans inside file archives such as .tar or .tgz files) Also, what are the advantages of Eset compare with other anti-viruses? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugk 397 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 At first I think it's also on Linux not a good idea to run two antivirus software together. AFAIK it is this way. I assume the version for Linux will work like other ESET software too. Yes heuristics are used of course - for any filetype. About MIME: I don't know if ESET scans mails. Yes at the detection of PUA ESET is very good. Just look around here and you'll find many things. I think most joke programs are also detected as PUA. Yes of course, all files in archives are also scanned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
