Frost 0 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 In our very very small business (2 computers) we have a lot of adware that is getting past ESET. PUA Detections are on, but these threats keep coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomFace 539 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Hello Frost. Are we talking like pop up ads? You must be careful downloading "bundled" freeware programs (krappware is everywhere!). Always go to the originating product/program supplier, don't go to software centers like Cnet, Major Geeks ...etc (see https://forum.eset.com/topic/3938-here%E2%80%99s-what-happens-when-you-install-the-top-10-downloadcom-apps/?hl=cnet#entry23052 hxxp://www.ghacks.net/2014/07/08/beware-filehippo-tests-adware-distributing-download-manager/ I use Adguard in addition to ESS. It's a free extension in Firefox and works pretty well for me. https://adguard.com/en/welcome.html?utm_source=extension&aid=16593 That's my 2 cents-good luck.

SweX 871 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Do you have detection of potentially Unwanted, Unsafe and Suspicious apps enabled ? I ask since most users usually "complain" that ESET almost is too strict when it comes to these detections and not the other way around. On the link below - do you pass all of the tests that AMTSO provides in order to make sure that ESET and other security products are set up correctly & works properly ?

Most Valued Members SCR 195 Posted March 25, 2016 Most Valued Members Share Posted March 25, 2016 @SweX Thanks, the linked pages were very informative and now I know Eset SS is doing it's job. Not that I ever doubted that it was. Now I know what all those warnings actually look like in real time. I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
