Happy Bytes

Where is "Happy Bytes"? Is he still eset employee?

Because of changing his state and signature and removing his name from moderators list...

 

Happy Bytes will be moving to another country and will not work for Eset anymore. Let's hope that he will jump in here in his spare time and carry on providing us with his valuable comments and help. We all are very grateful for his excellent job he has done for Eset so far and wish him all the best in his future venture.

 

Oh man! We'l miss you HB! All the best for future! Take care...

 

...11 days to go I heard, or there-abouts
Thanks for all your valuable time spen here helping users of NOD32 and with your malware research, and all the best for what ever good things the future may hold
Cheers

 

Stay in contact and keep us all informed also in future, HB! Keep up your excellent work!

 

Oh i'm sure he'll be lurking around here somehow

 

To which country? I'm sure he will be for NA (McAfee)...

 

Sorry but that's private info, if Micheal chooses to share that, he will. Please do respect his privacy and avoid any speculation.

Steve

 

I wish you a wonderful future with your new company They have recruited one of the best virus researchers in the actual world

 

HB, good luck with the new job/home etc. Make sure you pick a country/city/street where they keep your car in one piece!

And drop by some time to say hello!

 

Very bad news.

Who will help you Marcos here in the Forum if HB leaves ? Any new Name for us ?

 

Exactly. It doesn't matter what company he's going to. His skills will keep helping the community, no matter where he's working. In my personal opinion ESET has left escape a great professional, although in the other hand, the company he's going to will gain strength in her product for sure. Anyway, I just can wish him a peaceful move and a great start in his new place of living/working.

 

That's the point. Hopefully it will not have any negative Consequences to NOD 32 and it's future.

 

Uf, that will be a bad hit for ESET. Anyway, take care and all the best in the future!

 

Not at all. While Happy Bytes is great a what he did, one man does not make a company - Eset has many talented people. They were successful before and will continue that success into the future.

Well one man or not, he was (and he still is) one of the best experts for complex malware in the world.

 

Please keep in touch, I will miss your schenanigans.

 

Damn! Happy Bytes' was a very big reason for my purchase of NOD32. I hope NOD's detection rates does not go down because of his absence.....

 

I doubt that. As for Happy Bytes I wish him all the best.

 

Good luck with your new job HB

 

I will miss his sense of humour, and let's face it - with us lot he needed it.
Good luck Happy Bytes.

 

NOD32's detection rates started rising up after Happy Bytes came to the company....And now he's gone, so what'll happen now? I guess I'll just wait and watch....

 

Happy Bytes good luck to you!

and to all others that thinks the detection rate will go down.
Pls stop being so paranoid, one man can not change all the company.
The detection will continue to be as good as it is now! I belive so.

So pls stop keep asking about detection rate / just because Happy Bytes now works for another company.
He was the best but sad now, nothing we can do.

 

Firecat,

Although Happy Bytes is an exceptionally talented researcher, let's keep things in perspective.

NOD32 was a top tier program when he joined Eset, and it will continue to be.

As anyone who has worked in any organization will attest, when a talented individual exits, they do leave a legacy behind. A legacy of how they approached problems, how they found solutions, and aspects of their unique knowledgebase. All technical groups that I've witnessed in operation exhibit a fair degree of crossfertilization that occurs on an ongoing basis. This intellectual legacy remains with the organization even when the person providing it moves on.

It's a dear loss, but let's not lose sight of that which remains, as well as the next generation researchers waiting in the wings.

We don't know the reasons for this, but isn't a good thing for ESET...

Besides, ESET was very good before HB arrives, and will continue be without him...

Good luck HB for your new adventure...
