Beta 2

[JeremyWW]

I'm not being being impatient - just wondered if you (Eset) have an approximate planned timeframe for releasing the next Beta.

[mvdu]

Beta 1 just doesn't work on my machine. I'm using KIS until Beta 2.

My god, beta 1 has been out a day and you are already screaming for beta 2? Eset didn't make their beta 1 "approximate planned timeframe" and people here were ready to lynch them! Unbelievable....just unbelievable.

Please read my post again and calm down. I am not screaming for anything. If you knew anything about software development, you'd understand that software companies roll out products according to a development timeline / project plan, which is all I'm asking for. Go and lie down...

And...sorry chum, you're wrong...they did make their 'approximate planned timeframe' available - in public: Both at Cebit and on their website. They were late, which I certainly wasn't ready to 'lynch them for' but they were nonetheless late and eventually admitted to. The fact that they've released a good Beta1 as a result makes it water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned...

And if you knew anything about software development, you would realize that asking for a beta 2 time line a day after beta 1 has been released (and before the programmers had any time to sift through the bug reports) is beyond idiotic. If you knew anything about software development, you would know that beta 2 could be weeks/months after beta 1. There is no way anyone can give you anything more concrete, especially when testing has just started.

Let's focus on the Beta and not each other. Thanks in advance.

Agreed. I guess I'm a little crabby tonight.

Hello,

A fair amount of flexibility has been built into the beta-test cycle for ESET Smart Security. A significant part of the release schedule is based on the feedback ESET receives from the people who are testing the program. It is possible that days or weeks may pass between new beta builds being released.

If you do fill out the form at http://www.eset.com/beta/ (http://www.eset.com/beta/) you will be notified when new releases occur, or you can visit the web site periodically as well as look for notices in the forum.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

You are wait a moment,pieasa! I wait the chinese bete. Who know how long I will wait?

We will update the components on-the-fly so many bugs will be fixed via a standard update. I assume we could get the issue with interactive mode fixed shortly via an automatic update. In the mean time we have added a new rule to IDS - Allow remote desktop in trusted zone.

i hope you can check the slowness the "http-scanning" module causes while browsing.

[Marcos]

I haven't noticed any slowdown on my computer. What browser do you use and what websites you noticed the slowdown with?

[Legendkiller]

i use ff and in general the websites loaded pretty swiftly without ess being installed.

[trjam]

I havent noticed any degradation in my web browsing speed.

I haven't noticed any slowdown either... and on a slower than 56k, 56k I'd notice...

Do NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! install this on vista. It totally ****ed up my system which was running sweetly. Many many sockey errors.

Works flawlessly here on Vista Ultimate and Home Premium.

Thanks for the info, agoretsky and Marcos. I'm sure many were wondering but didn't want to bother asking just yet.

So why not fix the mistake in the original post instead of creating another post to point out the mistake? :blink:

Because I am a new poster and I wasn't aware I could do that. Thanks.

That's what the net and forums are for, getting both sides of the story. As I said earlier it messed up my system. I have got it running now, after a struggle and much time. Maybe my earlier post was too soon but I was fed up, angry and frustrated, but I am entitled to post my experience regardless of what you seem to believe.

Fine, it's working great for you, I'm happy for you. It's not working great for me, but that's beta software I guess and I took that risk by installing it. It IS working on my system now, but I still have some problems. When I installed it I got a lot of socket errors, I am still getting a few but they are less frequent so maybe it will be OK.

[Sjoeii]

People calm down.
It is only the first beta. I prefer a thourough first beta. So ESET can include all the solved bugs into the next beta. If they release a new version after each bug solved we will get a new beta every day .

I prefer this way of working

[trjam]

evidently most of you have never downloaded a beta product. If it worked flawlessly, it would be called a release. Give Marcos and the rest at Eset a little time to correct the areas you are identifying. I am still not having any issues and have downloaded and tried a lot of products now with the suite. Still like the suite with Sandboxie and hopefully Comodos BoClean this coming week.

That is way cool Marcos. I thought it would take a new beta to fix these issues.
I'm glad I was wrong. Also I really like ESS a lot. I'm planning to renew my subscription again and get the final release.

{QUOTE-> Also I really like ESS a lot. I'm planning to renew my subscription again and get the final release. <-QUOTE}

Not a bad idea. Thinking the very same thing. I think it is obvious that a lot has been tweaked or corrected since the orginal debut of the suite. So it is nice knowing that you dont have to wait on another beta release to see marked improvements.:thumb:

{QUOTE-> That is way cool Marcos. I thought it would take a new beta to fix these issues. I'm glad I was wrong. <-QUOTE}

Well, technically it is a new beta, every time they change something. Instead of fixing a bunch of things before releasing them as beta 2, they are fixing things on the fly, so I guess you could call these new builds beta 1.0, beta 1.01, beta 1.02, etc.

[KoRn]

beta 1 worked on mine and when is real version realise

[JeremyWW]

{QUOTE-> beta 1 worked on mine and when is real version realise <-QUOTE}

No for a good while KoRn...months away. We have a few releases to go yet...

[mvdu]

So is it safe for me to try again? I submitted my memory dump file.

Hey Gaolin,

Glad to see someone here from my hometown Sichuan :-)

currently the beta is only in two languages: English and Slovakia. I don't think there would be a Chinese beta in the beta testing phase. As a usual practice, the simplified Chinese pack comes along with the final product release.

If you're not in a hurry, I suggest you continue using the NOD32 2.7.

Last but not the least, your thread would be easier to understand if you have checked for spelling mistakes before you posted it.

Cheers!
