Release Candidate is generally the final stage of any beta version.

that bug still exists in RC1


edit:
and the uninstaller STILL doesnt remove the eset folder from docs & settings/all users/application data

 

Were any improvements made to the firewall? Are the hard coded rules still there? Do the firewall logs still contain giberish?

see thread for reference:

I dont have that...

 

Just installed the RC1 of just the AV and here's not showing how long the license is valid. Should it be in just ESS?

 

This is my screenprint:



Ain't this very weird? Download from the link in the first post.......with valid license....it sure beats me!

 

I did the same

 

i doubt it... still problems with wireless & AES here.. also logs on my other pc (non wireless) still shows gibberish every 2 minutes on the dot.

with the problems the firewall has, i would of expected ESS to have gone to beta 3. i guess eset must be in a rush with it.

i can however understand the Antivirus only being RC...

 

I've not added any licence info and the expiry of 31/10/2007 is showing. I'd guess that's when ESET expect to go to retail.

On the subject of hard-coded firewall rules ( few posts up) it seems that you can disable the built in rules through teh advanced setup.

 

I suffered frequent hard-freezes (hard reset needed). Uninstaller failed to uninstall ESS 3RC1 - I had to do it manually.

Clues:
1. I have DEP AlwaysOff
2. I use SPTD from duplexsecure
3. I use cfosspeed
4. It appears that problem is with firewall component only.

 

minor thing but a thing nonetheless - in the setup: web access - http - web browsers - its says put a CROSS in the box, but it they are actually TICKS (checks), like i said, minor thing

 

Advanced Mode

 

Click it more than once. It cycles through blank, tick and cross.

 

Did a clean install. It's amazing sometimes, ain't it?
Re-started PC, reset of the window layout and still the same.

 

I'll give it another twirl and see! But before I do.........Are you running XP or Vista? I'm running Vista, maybe that's the bottleneck?

 

Nope, you can cycle between 3 states of the box: empty, checked, crossed
