Not really news as we were pretty much told this from the beginning and to just state "September" could mean anywhere from 12 days to 6 weeks from now.

good to know. thanks.

My license will run out on Oct 17th 2011, I guess I should wait to buy the new 2 year license, I buy the 2 year for 3 computers, until V5 is released. Thing is that there are sales now on Eset products, I wonder if these prices will be available for V5. I can live with the retail price on the web site if I have toi, but Amazon is a pretty respected online retailer and I get the box and the CD, ( not that is it necessary to have that but I know its legit). I think if V5 does come out in Sept I will just buy it on the Eset webpage.

If you buy a license now you will be entitled to use your username / password to download and update v5. Updates to newer versions of ESET products have always been free for existing users.

My license also runs out next November. But I will renew before that, like I have been doing for 4 years now and always get a little discount. :)

Thanks for the video post!

Lol, ESET should start making video games. On one hand it is an insanely cool and nice made video. On the other hand I wish they spend that money and time on improving HIPS in automatic mode for the final version.

I had a similar thought but resisted saying it. ;D

[agoretsky]

Hello,

All of the videos, such as that short one posted to YouTube, are done by an outside agency. The only impact it has had on ESET's coding efforts is a few minutes of time when the developers stopped to watch it. :)

There are a lot of people at ESET working very hard on the v5 codebase to ensure it is released not just in a timely fashion, but also as high-quality fast code which will work without problem. That said, this is not a short sprint to get across a finish line but rather a long marathon, and ESET's programmers, QA engineers, architects, project managers and all the other folks who go into making a software release a success will be working on any fixes needed as well as improvements and new features.

I expect automatic security with improved detection rates/and low false positives.
Hopefully the file reputation can reach such goal.

I expected so, but I just wanted to point out what really needs some work in my eyes, HIPS in automatic mode.

Could you comment on how ESET sees HIPS in automatic mode in let's see a year from now? What was the exact idea behind implementing this HIPS? Will it use reputation data gathered in the cloud to make decisions? Will it be visible to users what kind of rules are used in automatic mode?
I ask this because at this moment, it is really nice that you have a good working HIPS mechanism for advanced users, but for normal users it doesn't improve protection. Which means that at this moment HIPS in automatic mode is kind of useless except for providing self-defense.

Also, could you comment on the answers posted in the "RC available" thread:
1. What is meant by "Advanced heuristics/DNA/Smart signatures" option in the ThreatSense engine parameter setup. I am familiar with advanced heuristics (emulation and code analysis) but DNA and smart signatures are newly added in version 5.
2. Will the window size/position bug be fixed for the final version?
3. Don't you think it is a little strange that EAV and ESS share text in the "Tools" section of the GUI. Informing me that I can view statistics about spam, or watch network activity in EAV is simply lieing to me.

i answered to your 1st question here
http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1927791&postcount=262

i do want more information but that is all we got for now

[toxinon12345]

AV heuristics try to determine the behavior assigning scores.

Active heuristics:
Heuristics applied directly to the application's behavior.

Passive heuristics:
Heuristics applied to the application's code.

Is like analyse the file in a practical (you run the file and monitor the behavior) and theorical way (you look at the file for suspicious instructions).

Need for see this game available for Xbox 360 :P kkkkkkkkkkkk

All videos with ESET android are nice. i really love it.

I was mostly kidding anyway. ;D
I'm sure we all appreciate all of the hard work everyone involved is doing. We're just all very anxious to see the final product. At least I assume most would agree with that.

well, i wouldnt count the cloud as a proactive method; but heuristics have a detection of >53% for threats created after the last update (unknown - no signature available).

But hey, you can create a list of allowed software and set to policy based mode, in the Intrusion Prevention System.

[agoretsky]

Hello,

The HIPS functionality in v5 marks the first time this functionality has been exposed in the user interface to customers. Previously, HIPS rules were just a part of the heuristics technology. A subset of those were simplified and used as the basis for the new HIPS module (along with some new things that were added based on internal feedback and requests) in v5.

ESET has been gathering reputation data for a while through various sources and means, and it has been used in various ways. For example, Smart Optimization in v4 makes use of the collected data.

Right now, the couplings between HIPS, reputation data and other threat intelligence are fairly malleable. Part of the reason for that is because these functions were previously internal to the program, and making them available in the user interface is new to v5. But the other, more guiding reason is to ensure maximum flexibility in how these "threat feeds" of data are analyzed and processed to allow currently-available, soon-to-be-available and far-in-the-future versions of ESET software to react. Some data is looked at and responded to in real-time, while other sets of data have to be batched and processed over time so that trends and changes in behavior can be observed. Looking at just a snapshot of data taken at a given instant is not always going to produce meaningful, useful or actionable intelligence.

The key here really is to periodically review/look at/examine all of the data which comes in over various periods of time in order to determine how using that data in various combinations can better protect people, without doing things like impacting performance, or causing false positives. I suppose one way of looking at things is that ESET has set its framework up for V5 (and beyond) to create mash-ups. These will show up in new and novel ways in how the program protects you from threats.

I personally have found some of the feedback in the forum that the HIPS module is only suitable for advanced users a little disappointing, not because I disagree with it, but because one of the goals was to provide HIPS which is suitable for people of all levels of computing experience, particularly novices. Clearly, there is ongoing work to be done in this area, and it will continue through—and beyond—the v5 release cycle. Having the world's best protection is useless if it doesn't help the folks who need it the most, as those of you who do support for friends and family are, no doubt, quite aware. The good news here is because ESET licenses its software by time rather than by a version, customers will get any improvements made to the software for free, even if that means a brand-new version of the software.

In response to your other questions:
I have talked about heuristics elsewhere in the forum, and it is also a topic that regularly gets discussed (http://blog.eset.com/tag/advanced-heuristics) in the ESET Threat Blog (http://blog.eset.com/), such as in this (http://blog.eset.com/2010/12/29/what-are-heuristics) article, so I am not going to go into detail about those in this post. Smart signatures refers to use of technology like generic signatures which can detect families of malware. DNA refers to examining the familial relationships between families of malware, much like rDNA and mitochondrial DNA is used biologically.
I believe the issue with the ESET graphic user interface window was fixed in a subsequent build.
Text in the user interface is still be tweaked. ESET NOD32 Antivirus does do some network monitoring, but it is nothing like what the ESET Personal Firewall in ESET Smart Security does.

Aryeh Goretsky

Thanks a lot for your honest and clear post.

Don't get me wrong, I am happy with the choices ESET made for previous versions and also for version 5. So I will stay loyal to ESET, since it is the program with the least weaknesses in my eyes (and, therefore, my favourite).
However, to me it wasn't actually clear how you guys looked upon HIPS in automatic mode, now it is much more clear.

Then don't switch HIPS to interactive mode but leave it in automatic mode. This way HIPS will protect crucial system areas and advanced heuristics coupled with generic signatures will take care of malware detection.

To be honest, ESET's explanation (below the list) of how the various HIPS modes work is very clear. If you want the HIPS to provide more protection than in automatic mode, use the learning mode for sometime and then switch to the policy-based more (or any other of the modes for advanced users).

ESET, fix your messed up site (eset.com/download).

1. Upload v5 installers here, because there is still v4.2:
http://download.eset.com/eval/win/eav/eav_nt32_rus.msi

http://download.eset.com/download/win/ess/ess_nt64_rus.msi
2. Fix version numbers (and images to each version) and remove v2 already:
229216 229217 229215 229218
3. Cannot find direct links to trial versions of ESET Cybersecurity. Add them.

Why you have not prepared in advance and change all on the move now?

[Marcos]

The links above seem to me ok. I'm not aware of the Russian distributor having released their localized version yet so version 4.2.71.3 seems ok, too. As for the trial version of ESET Cybersecurity, it can be downloaded from here (http://go.eset.com/us/download/free-trial/international) fine.

[Syobon]

what about the bussiness version for windows server?

[Ego_Dekker]

Where can users download non-english trial versions of ESET Cybersecurity (eset.com/download)? Why have v5 installers (rus) been removed?
