Thanks, just updated a short while ago. No problems other than the fact it seemed to take longer to log into my machine, could be a fluke, but who knows.

I'm running Windows Vista Business (SP1) 32 bit version.

My v642 updated Firewall Module to 20080402. What does v650 add to that?

[EnGenie]

The strange thing is that even though 3.0.650 is released on 2nd April, when you install 3.0.650 over the top of 3.0.642, the modules and virus definitions roll back to 13 March.

The following component versions are not present (replaced with older versions):

Personal firewall: 1038 (20080402)
Antivirus and antispyware: 1108 (20080325)
Archive support: 1075 (20080314)


When you manually request an update then everything updates to the latest as of 2nd April.

There is a 30 day demo version on the ESET website (http://www.eset.com/download/free_trial_download_int.php). You could try that. If you decide to upgrade I'm sure there is an upgrade option which will cost you less than a full license.

Same here...

Quick question. I'm running ESS 3.0.642 with CounterSpy behind a Linksys G router. (Used to run AV 2.7 then 3.0 with Comodo as well) No probs at all so far with ESS and Counterspy, and router configured properly.

I know u must uninstall any other security apps prior to installing ESS, but does the warning to do so apply to ESET apps as well as other security apps?:

1) must u uninstall a current version of ESS prior to installing a new version (real pain) - in this case 3.0.650??

2) or can you just install the updated version over top? and ignore the warning message that "u must install other security apps prior to proceeding"

3) or is it better to just wait until the upgrade to 3.0.650 is pushed out with the usual updates?

I'm no noob, but this hasn't been definitively stated as far as I can tell. (If it has, 8)

I don't have the time right now to spend correcting an install, so if someone can confirm I'd appreciate it.



TIA.

[ASpace]

Install over the top of any older ESS 3.0.5xx or 3.0.6xx version . The setup will detect you have one running and will perform in-place upgrade

[Steel]

I find it very many worse that there is no statement of ESET. What had to be translated first ? The firewall rules ? Come on, where is the problem again for delay in releasing german Version ?

[ASpace]

Upgrade to 3.0.650 versions is not high priority upgrade .

-{ Quote: "What had to be translated first ?" }-

Most likely nothing new but each and every new version/build must be strictly tested , this requires time. I hope you don't want working English version and not working German one.

[caintry_boy]

I can't get it to install. It gives an error message, "This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact vendor". My cpu is an Intel E8400 3000Mhz cpu, it installed fine on my friends system and he has an E8400 also...... :'(

[ronjor]

-{ Quote: "I can't get it to install." }-Did you download the correct version for your system?

[caintry_boy]

-{ Quote: "Did you download the correct version for your system?" }-

Oooops.....:-[ Accidentally got the 64 bit version, my Windows is 32 bit.....:-[ :-[

[tactical]

What username/password do I use to get the update? The same for the subscription?

[Steel]

Sorry, but ESET, are you still testing the other language Version of Build 650 ?
All the others of czech, slovak and english have to use the older one which consits bugs into Firewall you fix with 650 ?!!

Come, push out the others, the german for example.

Some official Word please.

[lun3rst4r15]

i was curious do u need to do any advanced setting? or the one u get out of the box is good enough?

Mine went from 30xx to 2945 (20080313) and I can't manually update it at all! It just sits there at 0%.

Finally moving, but very slowly...maybe around 9kb/s and I have 8Mb internet. Downloading a 9MB update despite the fact it was up to date already.

[PTRACER]

Everything is ok now...:)

[Handries]

Thanks for finally having the Dutch version available:) . I installed it, and after a lengthy data base and virus definitions update it's now working great.

Hi,

I went on and took the upgrade to ESS from the AV but ended up with a 2 year renewal for just the AV part - the id and licence number remain the same.

What went wrong??

Thanks
Paul

An escalation of the virus reduction, I also this is the case

[lc5829]

Again the "not being able to connect to workgroups" problem arises. I still use 3.0642 to be able to browse workgroups,

[Mack27]

I think this product is the best. It destroys Kaspersky in practically anything. I have KAV7 installed on two separate Windows XP SP3 systems and not one of them caught this keygen.exe i was using for whatever reason as a trojan. Now my system, Windows XP SP3 that i'm using ESET took it out and it doesn't matter if you disabled Firewall/AntiVirus/Spyware on the ESET afterwards, there is no way that it will still let you run that exe file. Now that is crazy.....Using a 30-day trial right now.....it's the $%^&!!!!!

[aaalp]

I am using ESET Smart Security v3.0.650.0 on Windows Vista Home Premium.
Windows Mail crashes when receiving too many mails at once if the mails are coming in at high speed. Most of these mails are spam. While checking them and throwing them to junk mail folder, all of a sudden, windows mail stops working and shuts itself down. Crashes occur between 50-70 emails mostly. During the day, windows mail is running all the time (windows mail junk filter is set to high by the way) without any problems. I shutdown the laptop at night. When I log into my mail account in the morning, where there are about 100-150 emails coming in, these crashes occur. But if the mails are coming in slowly (sometimes a high speed download running in the background may cause the mail incoming speed to decrease), then there is no problem.
Laptop is a Sony Vaio Core2Duo 2 Ghz, 2 GB SDRAM, so performance shouldn't be a problem in my opinion.
I hope this problem gets solved in the upcoming updates.

I went to the above site/Trial Version and found the download size of ESET Smart Security 32bit to be 9.99MB. When I began their download it showed itself to be 19.2MB ???

[webyourbusiness]

Rainwalker - thanks for pointing that out - I have updated our trial download page, so that the sizes of downloads reflects the file size - it was quite a long way out of date... that's what happens when you're too busy selling product to update the website! ;)

Your welcome

[denno]

When new versions are released, is it preferable to do a fresh installation and configure everything from scratch, or are install-over-the-top type updates fine (i.e. not problematic?).

Cheers

Hello,

Unless otherwise mentioned, you should have no trouble installing a new version of ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD32 Antivirus over a previously-installed version. In some cases, a reboot may be required for changes to take effect.
