    Well, now there is: http://www.eset.com/beta/ to sign up for early access to ESS beta 1.

    I really don't want to get myself banded but -
    if you look at the download string for the 'non-english' version - coming from
    "h**p://download1.eset.com/special/essbeta/..."

    then replace with the correct 3 letter for the language.... you may be happier :D

    Of course, it may need a number to activate it.

    I don't understand. Why do we have to sign up to be 'considered' for Beta testing, when it's freely available as a non English download?

    I don't like this
    I think everybody should be able to test it , not only in Slovak language . I applied but haven't received anything.

    By the way , with the Slovak version , I have problems with the Internet scanner , I doesn't block threats .
    Example: I click on a threat file , the first time it gets blocked . However if I refresh the page/attempt to download it again , it gets undetected by the internet scanner .

    No problem with the firewall or with the on-access scanner.

    For the first time, I'm getting a tad concerned that Eset are losing their grip. This all seems a bit rushed / messy and...no English version / inconsistent release policy. Maybe it's time to look further afield...but where? KAS?...no way...Avast?...neat but I don't trust it...AVG?...not a chance...anyone...?? o_O

    no it is not time to look elsewhere. It has just been a few hours and they did warn us it was raw. Send it out now to all, and just think what would happen here. I think we might see it more avalable next week.

    That may be so...but even with my grumbles, I wouldn't touch the product you seem to be promoting with the proverbial bargepole (...are you a 'big yellow' employee...?? I think so...). The 'leader' should change...

    Hehe, Norton sucks. You shouldn't trust it on your computer. More people had MORE problems with Norton then without Norton.

    Hi there.

    This is exactly why ESET maintains a fan base. If you can make a product which is rated so high after four years of existence, that certainly says a lot about quality. Is the now old v2.7 a bad AV? No, it is one of the best, despite its age...

    So?? That's not a reason to release it as a Slovak only download. If it's that raw don't release it at all - wait another week or two. All that's happened now is ESET have put people's noses 'out of joint' by not releasing an English version. Most other software companies go for an English release first followed by international versions. And...I was told by Eset UK to expect a release this week. And...we have to 'sign up' for the damn thing. Sorry, but I can't agree with your logic. They are not behaving in the way that most other software companies do, and I've been in the IT industry for 20 years. My concerns are, I confess, also compounded by the apparent drop in performance reviews.

    Warning! These posts are getting out of sync. I'm not being inconsistent - I AM disappointed in ESET and concerned that NOD32 is dropping behind, albeit slightly, BUT...I wouldn't waste my money on a Symantec product, neither would I recommend anyone else to do the same.

    First, Performance drop is a big statement. If we are talking a point or two based on the last ratings at IBKs, well to me it isnt a quantifying factor. As far as the release, I agree, I would love to see the english version so I am not saying you are wrong. But how ever they do it, they are doing it, so lets just give it some time my friend. It may pan out yet where we both can sit back and smile.:)

    I don't see why they would remove/protect it even if they have a sign-up page. After all they did call it a public beta.

    But it will take a "few" of Blackspears recomendations, especially on pre-scheduled scanning.

    Thanks for that. I can feel sanity returning...you caught me just in time before doing something silly like downloading a KIS trial...

    Ditto -

    Finally got it installed. No big problem.
    Looks nice - very quiet (not killing me with pop-ups).
    SSM doesn't seem to have a problem with it and visa versa..

    That's just a quick look. How the firewall holds up under hard core scrutiny - I must leave that to the experts.
    :)

    Cool.

    Ah - Took it out of automatic mode. There are the pop-ups. Hope, automatic mode is okay most ofthe time.
    Wonder if there should be a learning mode or if that's the same thing.

    >>> But it will take a "few" of Blackspears recomendations, especially on pre-scheduled scanning.

    Oh yes - and you can save the configuration!
