cpetry 4 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Previously I was told that ESET Endpoint Security had better file coder protection due to the network scanner technology it has that the standalone AV does not. I'd rather not use/enable the firewall on my endpoints. Would the Endpoint Security still provide added network / file coder protection if the "personal firewall" was disabled? In other words is it more of a code dependency thing? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later this year it will be moved to a separate module and will utilize web protection instead of firewall which means that it will be a part of Endpoint Antivirus, too.

cpetry 4 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 So the file coder protection wouldn't even be active if I had it in learning mode? Something tells me that's the case. If so I will have to ask support how to setup automatic mode to automatically treat our LAN as trusted. If it's on auto and set to trusted for our LAN/domain, it should still scan it for file coder activity, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
