Most Valued Members SCR 195 Posted October 26, 2015 Most Valued Members Share Posted October 26, 2015 I'm contemplating a return to version 8 and wondering what the disadvantages are over using v9. I am not having any difficulties with v9 but I'm more comfortable with the v8 GUI. I'm also unsure as to if I am adequately protected with the v9 settings I have made. There was never a doubt in my mind with v8. I would also like to know how long v8 will be supported. I'm unable to use the new Banking protection as the browser I use is not one that is compatible nor will it be in the future as advised by Eset. So that is not part of the equation. Two Systems Windows 7 Pro and Premium both x64 Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffie 11 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Good question : i would like to know this also. @SCR : it is quite funny that you also want to go back to V8 after defending V9 so heavily in this topic : https://forum.eset.com/topic/6276-unable-to-disable-certain-security-alerts-in-eset-smart-security-9/page-2 I have a feeling there are more and more people going back.

Most Valued Members SCR 195 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Most Valued Members Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Daffie, Thanks for the reply. I'm not going back to v8 as I said I'm not having any major issues with v9. I am not disabling any of the protection provided by v9 and it is not the reason for my post. I still think v9 is a fine product. I spent quite a few hours with my setup since I posted and have addressed my concerns as to the security of my system and feel much better about it. At the time of my post I was experiencing some strange errors showing up in Event Viewer regarding open registry items not being closed and a second network being discovered. I couldn't figure out why all that was happening. Out of frustration I considered going back to v8 and created the post. Instead I decided to start over and removed all the rules I created and left only the built in rules. I was much more careful as to the rules I created with regard to my home network and no longer have the errors. It was obviously something I did, user error. I will probably never know what it was. It all started when I was messing about with permissions for files on the network. (I really need to learn a lot more about file and folder permissions) I also had a HomeGroup set up which I now find to be redundant for my needs In the end I was to fast to post and while I have once again become content with v9 I will let the post stand as you have expressed some interest in the difference and I am still some what curious as I still have one system on v8.
