[zer0l0gic]

I found a link to the ESET site through Google.

http://download.eset.com/download/win/eavbe/eavbe_nt32_enu.msi
http://download.eset.com/download/win/essbe/essbe_nt32_enu.msi

Is this a new release version or beta?

[BFG]

Hi,

I'm assuming that he "be" in the name (eavbe_nt32_enu.msi) stands for beta.

BFG

BE = Business Edition

Language update or bugfix?

[czullo]

• Fixed bug in Update module
• Compatibility improvements with Novell NetWare client

[Fixer]

I too found a news for new version of home edition EAV/ESS:

~Link removed. Not recommended. - Ron~

Is this true?

I downloaded from one of those links and its ....650BE. :(

Think I'll wait for the official release. :thumb:

heres good link:

~Link removed. Unknown site. - Ron

[poutine]

No rush is there ? 650 is pretty good. :) I'll wait.

[ronjor]

Links to rogue sites or unknown sites are not allowed here. I would stick to the official sites for safe downloads.

Looks like an official site to me.
v3.0.658

An official site would not host installers that are not digitally signed ! I'd keep away from such installers.

[PaulB2005]

So what's the situation with this release? MajorGeeks have it listed on their site? Is this a real release or not?

Hello,

From the Support News (http://www.eset.com/support/news.php) section of ESET's web site:


May 7, 2008
ESET Smart Security and ESET NOD32 Antivirus v3.0.658.0 were released today in Chinese (Simplified) and Chinese (Traditional), with other languages to follow. This release contains the following changes:

• Fixed bug in Update module
• Compatibility improvements with Novell NetWare client

For more information, or to download a copy, please visit the download section of ESET's web site.


The main reason for this release was to provide localized support for two Chinese dialects. It also contains some small bug fixes that will show up in future releases for other languages.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

Am I to understand that the bug fix will not be an automatic update?

[Marcos]

{QUOTE-> Am I to understand that the bug fix will not be an automatic update? <-QUOTE}

It will be, along with other fixes when an automatic program component update becomes available.

[DavidCo]

Thank you

When can we (polish users) expect polish version??... in my case i`ve got strong novell environment and buggy .650 is a huge problem.... the 2nd is my outdating symantec subscription :)

Marcos, it would be nice to understand what types of new program functionality/features can be delivered in the automatically downloaded module updates - for example, the Antivirus and antispyware scanner module: 1112 date 20080512 that got updated today - as opposed to manually installing a new update.

I assume that not all new functionality, such as drivers, can be delivered in module updates.

New functionalities are delivered through a program component update which has not been released yet (newer versions can be downloaded and installed manually, or "pushed" using ERA). Updates of the other modules can bring: support for new archives/fixes for the unpacker of certain archives (archive module), improved code emulation (advanced heuristics module), etc.

[ablatt]

Thanks for the explanation Marcos.

BTW, what does ERA stand for?

Also, I have never seen an automatic program component update get pushed out to NOD32 v3.0 through all the pre .650 versions. Is that something that is coming with .650?

[agoretsky]

Hello,

ERA is an abbreviation for ESET Remote Administrator, the software package used to centrally administer ESET NOD32 Antivirus, ESET Smart Security and other software from ESET in a networked environment.

ESET has not released a program component update (PCU) for ESET NOD32 Antivirus v3.0 or ESET Smart Security yet, which is why you have not seen one occur. Right now, we are probably a few months away from one--I do not have a schedule, though, so cannot be more specific about when the upgrade cycle will begin. Notification will be made beforehand, though, so you will have time to prepare.

Aryeh Goretsky

Reading all of the above posts by Eset it looks as if we should download the new release if we want the bug fixes.

Do we need a fresh install or will .658 install over .650

Downloaded that and it's .650 ! WTF

I think it's about time Eset put build numbers in their package filenames!

[zer0l0gic]

I just downloaded too and the digital signature is from Friday, 14 March 2008 2:32:28 AM which is identical to .650 release. :-\

[LuckMan212]

i also tried getting .658 and wound up with the .650 release.

come on ESET! what gives :dry:

[Marcos]

There is a wrong version number listed on the download page, the current installers are 3.0.650. I have asked the webmaster from the US to amend it.

So is there a new version on the cards or did the US webmaster jump the gun.

;D

No the problem here is ESET lack organisation when it comes to downloads. Anyone who reads the News bit would click through to the download section, but see it says 3.0.650. Oh hang on, that's a different version number. No wait the version number is a link... Which gives me a changelog in English saying 3.0.658 is available... Only to actually download the software and realise it's actually 3.0.650.

What does ESET do about it? Nothing. A friendly message somewhere on the site would do, or even not mentioning the new version anywhere on the English-speaking site, until the English version becomes available! Simple.

If you're gonna release localised versions, do it on the local site, not every site you have for every language because it's confusing. And confused customers equals a trip to these forums where you end up telling people the same thing over and over again!!

As we have already explained, there was a wrong version number listed in error on the download page. We have fixed that and the changelog will be corrected shortly as well. To clear things up - the latest installers are 3.0.650. Some language versions are newer as they are the very first installers for that language.

Having said that, we'll bring this thread to a close.
