What is new in the 2.50.19 version?

[Jaska]

I just noticed that the newer version of 2.5 is out, but I can't find the changelog anywhere. Is there something new I should be aware of?

In new program component are not added new trojans and viruses, but maybe fixed bugs and so on...:)

Then, maybe jaska could tell us what change logs are wanted ? What is the reference version ?

If it is a beta version, then only bug correction, ... It is why it is a beta, a near release product. A beta don't change compares to the release product ... it is made to find not yet discovered bugs and such things, ... to test the stability on more than a few computers.

If it is the 2.12.3 version, all is here ;)

[ronjor]

The version on the download site is 2.50.19. That is a change from 2.50.16.

Until an Eset moderator can tell us what the difference is, it's all guess work. :)

[webyourbusiness]

Until we are able to obtain 2.5 component update via download, the only way to obtain 2.5.19 is to download and install over the top of your existing version - which will be SOON.

There is no firm deadline for when this will happen. So if you think you need 2.5.19, please use the username/password supplied with your license to get the file and do an install.

Greg

[Trooper]

I agree with Greg. We shall wait for Marcos or Daddy Cool himself to update us on this. No point in playing the guessing game here.

Man I wish I would have known about the new version sooner, I just reformatted Windows XP last night and did an install of 2.5.16. :-\

Regards,

Jag

[rumpstah]

2.50.19 has had a bug fixed where NOD would simply disappear in the middle of a scan. ;)

[webyourbusiness]

that's important to know - thanks Rumpstah!

ps - where did you gleam that piece of information from?

[rumpstah]

I ask questions. ;)

Eset knows me by voice and name. ;)

[Matt_Smi]

Well I hope this will be offered via a component update for 2.5.16 users, because I really do not want to install this version when I just got 2.5 a few days ago and it is running great.

it will be - just SOON - not NOW!!! ???

[Stephanos G.]

I will try to install it over the 2.50.16 version, lets see....

[NewHere]

Is the beta server updating yet ?
I'm using version 2.50.16 and I still can get the definitions using beta25 password.

Thanks.

[Stephanos G.]

No prob at all. I have installed 2.50.19 over 2.50.16

beta25 password is ok here. Also I installed v2.50.19 over v2.50.16 it went smoothly without even asking about user/pass(after hitting install (reboot now/reboot later) window appears immediately I just hit reboot and thats it.

[tazdevl]

Rendering still screwed up with .19

[PlexShaw]

-{ Quote: "No prob at all. I have installed 2.50.19 over 2.50.16" }-
Ditto. No problems here.

[Defenestration]

FYI, the trial version has also been updated to 2.50.19. I just quit NOD32 and installed over the top with no problems.

As tazdevl mentioned, rendering hasn't been fixed with this latest update :(

[Holden4th]

If I install 2.50.19 over 2.50.16 will Blackspear's settings remain in place?

[tazdevl]

Yup, just click on the use current settings radio button.

rumpstah says the new version has a bug fix, but may be there are other fixes/changes too

[Marcos]

No, it's just that one bug that has been fixed.

[rothko]

ok, thanks, i'll wait for it to auto update then.

[hadi]

Hi
What is the difference between auto update and manual installation of v2.50.19.over v2.50.16. They both do the exact same job aren't they?
Thanks

[Togg]

Since I'm not suffering from the 'bug' that the latest version is designed to 'fix', I assume I don't need to d/l the latest program update?

I'm happy to wait for any update that arrives automatically with the definitions.

[DonKid]

Anybody knows when beta version will stop to update ?

[Clb]

when it's will be possible through automatic update?

[Blackspear]

-{ Quote: "when it's will be possible through automatic update?" }-Not before it is ready...

Cheers ;D

I just updated v2.50.16 to 2.50.19 w/o uninstalling. Now, for some reason, my scheduled scan fails to run (using the execution of an external application method).

Uninstalling and reinstalling to see if it fixes the problem ...

How did uninstall and reinstall work out?

[Hexaguano]

Still no good.
Guess I may need to try going back to v2.50.16 next...
Worked fine with that version.

Try emailing support. The email address and how to contact is on Eset website. Or maybe Blackspear will see your post.

[The Hammer]

Sorry rumpstah didn't see your post.

[Hexaguano]

OK. Here goes.

/local /adware /ah /all /arch+ /clean /cleanmode /delete /heur+ /log+ /mailbox+ /pack+ /quarantine /scanboot+ /scanmbr+ /scanmem+ /scroll+ /sfx+ /unsafe /wrap+ /quit+

Funny that all of the other scheduled tasks work fine. Right now, the "On Demand Scanner" task seems to be running OK.

Thanks all.

[rumpstah]

Hi Hexaguano:

The options look fine.

Are you saying the task does not run?

What is the triggering event?

Have you attempted to delete the task and add it back?

Why do you have the On-Demand Scanner task and the Command Line task?

With the addition of the "Run this profile in cleaning mode" the Command Line scan is really only necessary for troubleshooting.

;)

rumpstah

Correct. The task does not run. I can set a time for it to run and the time passes by with nothing happening. I tried deleting the task then adding back first. Then I did an uninstall/reinstall of v2.50.19 (I also deleted the Eset folder). This is odd. It seems that every other scheduled task works OK. Both 2.50.XX installs were originally over a previous install.

I'm running WinXP Pro SP2 / fully updated. I'm also running Process Guard v3.150, but I don't think it is a factor as I was also running it with the previous version (I can start NOD32.exe with no issues)...

I was just trying the "On Demand Scanner" as a test. I don't normally use it. I prefer the external application method.

[rumpstah]

Hi Hexaguano:

If you right click on the task and choose "Run now" does it start up?

The next question is.. have you turned off Process Guard? ;)

Hi rumpstah

I forgot to mention before that yes, the task will run using "Run now". It did so before I reinstalled as well.

I disabled PG and set a time to scan several minutes ahead of my current time. No success.

[rumpstah]

Hi Hexaguano:

Is the task set to "Run the task as soon as possible"?

This is the time when a Centra session sure would be handy. ;)

It was set to "Wait until the next scheduled time". I changed it to "Run as soon as possible" set the time to run a few minutes ahead and again it didn't run.

rumpstah, thanks for all of your help. It's getting late here and unfortunately, I have to go to work early in the a.m.

Hi,

Some friends of mine are using the 2.50.16 updated from the latest beta.
They are still updating the database from Eset´s beta25 server.
Anyone can tell me when it will stop updating the database ?

Hi Experts
Really I need answer to this. What is the difference between waiting (for auto update) and installing it on top (by downloading v2.50.19 from ESET web site?). Thanx

Hi hadi,

The difference is time of course ;D
More seriously, by downloading the new version, and install it, you have to do something by yourself. With auto update all is automatic, you only need to click on 'yes' when asked ( and even not, depending of your setup). It is usefull for ppl who don't take care a lot of their security, who think that when something is installed in computer, it they will be protected forever with this. And unfortunately, to my mind, it is still the description of the average user .... :-\

In both cases you'll be prompted to click to reboot and you have to do this manualy ofcourse. If you d/l over the top you need to click twice once you click on file to "install" and immediately reboot window appears. So, the scond click is "reboot" thats all. Is that a big deal. I thought some thing else(serious) occurs during auto update. thanks zashita.

[zashita]

-{ Quote: "In both cases you'll be prompted to click to reboot and you have to do this manualy ofcourse.." }-
Of course :)
But you need to THINK if you download and install. First, you need to know that a new version is avaible, and then how to download and install it ... ;)

-{ Quote: "thanks zashita." }-
ohh stop, I will blush 8) ;D

[msanto]

Personally, I always download the latest (full) version to use in case I need to reinstall anyway, so I generally just update by installing over the top instead of waiting for the update.

With so many things that are bought and installed being downloadable nowadays, I have a whole folder on my HD as well as one on an external drive full of stuff, just in case.

I have two hard drives. On C drive I have version 2.50.16. On D drive I downloaded 2.50.19 with the intention of uninstalling the older C version and installing 2.50.19 from the file I downloaded onto D. But I have decided to wait for the auto program update instead. Why? I am curious to see how long Eset takes to provide the auto update as a customer service test. Note that I saw the newer version the first day it was available and how many days has it been now?

[Blackspear]

-{ Quote: "I am curious to see how long Eset takes to provide the auto update as a customer service test." }-It has nothing whatsoever to do with “Customer Service”, it has everything to do with rolling out a product when it is ready to roll out, and not before.

They have run this upgrade in 4 stages, Beta to selected in-house testers, Public Beta, Public Download to those that want every upgrade version as soon as possible, and FINALLY, after all this it will be rolled out to the general public at large when Eset are happy that they will not be inundated with Support issues. A very simple plan, and might I say a VERY wise one at that.


-{ Quote: "… how many days has it been now?" }-Does it really matter when there is a perfectly working version currently in use by the general public and they are blissfully unaware of anything different.

Yes a very wise plan for any FULL NEW version. However Marcos said in an earlier post on this thread that only ONE bug was fixed in this version. No wholesale changes were made. It probably wasn't even necessary to change the version number and we ALL could have been blissfully unaware with a timely auto update. Or if it was noticed we could say look how quick they fixed that bug. Click and it's done. For any company dealing with the public perception = reality and I have noticed it's the minor stuff that people believe could be easily taken care of but isn't, that gets them irate. Rule #1 The customer is the boss. Rule #2 Refer to rule number one.

We could go back and forth for who knows how long. So all I'll say is I like the thoroughness of the Eset program. But a 500 pound Gorilla is about to enter the AV market and they don't even have to be great, just AVERAGE to siphon alot of business away from other companies. It will be in areas like responsiveness to customers concerns that will keep the lights turned on. The company should heed people like gunnarj.
