ESET Smart Security and ESET NOD32 v3.0 Release Candidates available

[Thankful]

Using AV RC1, problem still exists that tag does not appear on all incoming emails.

[PatG]

Been working on mine, checked out RC1 and still getting double tags:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
on new release, rc1, to check it out.

ESS RC1 updated and is running fine here. I like the info and options available via right-click context menu in the Firewall status page.

License valid until info:

I noticed that this line was absent until ESS made a successful virus definition update attempt. Perhaps this info is not displayed until triggered by the first successful update query?

Mail Tagging:

I haven't been following the mail tagging threads. I had previously assumed these options only pertained to Outlook /Express/MS Internet Mail. Now that I can choose my email app in the Pop3 settings, I have message tagging enabled for all messages with the subject line tagging sub-options disabled. These settings don't stick for me nor does ESS add either message body tagging nor subject line tagging.
Email Client: TheBat
POP3 Compatibility: medium

Suggestion:

Can we have the advanced settings and permanent rule password protection cached for like 1 min.? If not, no biggie to me. I'd rather be inconvenienced than have security at less than Eset standards.

Another great set of updates...kudos Eset!

hey eset guys

been using your software for a few years, one thing that is missing for me is the ability to right click the nod32 tray icon and select Disable AMON, Disable IMON, Disable all protection like in avast! and most other av packages

when copying loads of files (that i know aren't infected) it's handy to be able to disable amon when i'm copying

hope you're willing to implement this

cheers

Same old install problem !
If I don't disconnect (PPPoE) prior to install I get this error :



I had this problem with all previous beta's and I still have it.
This time on a new PC and a clean first time ESS install.

When completely ready for this - when the product is ready and when the company is ready to start serving it , the Marketing Dept. start presenting it. Since it has reached RC , I personally give it no more than 30 days prior to final release and ready to buy

is ESS ready for vista 32b ?

Yes , it is .

You asked before - I answered it. Do you write questions to read and get answers, or do you just write them for no reason?

I'll just leave it for now, as Marcos said: "I can't tell now what licenses are already in the database on the server dedicated for license checking, I'll need to ask our developers."

Clean install with (essbeta) shows valid uitil 1-11-2007. Using my valid license...nothing showing. Putting essbeta back, and the license info returns (1-11-2007)

Ik laat het wel zo voor nu (I'll just leave it for now)


For the rest, this RC version runs very nice

Just for the fun.....Did another clean install with essbeta as user/pass, but no way it's showing!
Think it's time to call in the white coats! Ik laat het nu ook wel zo, maar blijf het heeeeeel vreemd vinden. De een wel en de ander niet.
(I'll leave it for now as well, but find it a very strange thing, one user has it showing and the other doesn't).
Are you running XP or Vista?

[De Hollander]

XP SP2

Btw;

I just run 4 eicar test files. Under Protection Status / Number of detected attacks, its shows 4 But how do you clear that list. I deleted the items from Quarantine

[p51d007]

Will the RC version allow for the trigger of a download program?
I use FF, and the plugin download statusbar. With the 2.x version of NOD
I can trigger it to scan a file after it is downloaded (paranoid).
Can't seem to get it to work in the 3.x beta.
Just need to know if this is more likely a fix that the developer of the download
status bar program will have to fix/add, or will Nod have the ability to trigger
remotely to scan a file after it is downloaded.

Thanks

Yarr. Other than Vista-exclusive BSODs with uTorrent (which may/not be fixed with RC1) I'm now pretty darn satisfied with ESS. Everything has looked, felt and functioned beyond expectations for a security suite, while staying lean and living up to the NOD32 name. Thanks for opening up your latest and greatest for testing at Wilders, it's been a very pleasant experience. (For what's it worth, you've gained even more of my respect and admiration for it.) Hope it was as worthwhile for y'all as well, looking forward to ESS's retail debut "when it's done."

QFT. I'm impressed with such beta quality.

Yes, use ecls (the command line scanner) to accomplish that. For a list of available parameters, run ecls.exe --help

+1 to disable/shutdown option

Otherwise generally enjoying ESS experience. Keep up the good work guys.

I have been using RC1 of the Standalone Anti-Virus for the past 24hrs and have found it works really well for me.

Regarding the licence information, I have found that the essbeta info showed the date, with my licence in it did not, and reverting the licence back to the essbeta it re-showed the date. Strange - but nothing major!

Seems like a solid product, and that Eset's hard work is paying off.

[The_Duality]

Seems to me that the only realy remaining "issues" with the product are the firewall issues I have been reading about.

Im happy

that's not a bug, it's due to the NDIS filter installation, it terminates all active connections

Right, this is not a bug, it's how the OS and NDIS filter installation work.

[Thankful]

Minor issue with the AV. Not sure if mentioned. I ran a standard scan. The log summary states 0 infected, 0 cleaned. If I double click on the summary line to bring up the log detail, the log detail does not display 0 infected at the bottom.

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 have the same trouble
"license valid until 01\11\2007"

[Neoxellos]

First I like to say great job Eset! I like your security suite wich isn't bloated. Just AV, ASpam and firewall, all I need in a sec.suite. And what's even more important, no (noticable) system running slower. Nice new interface (the old one was a little windows 98 ).
Some minor points:
*This morning at startup windows (vista64) security centre didn't recognize the firewall. It did recognize the AV but according to sec.centre Eset reported firewall was disabled? But it wasn't in Eset protection status. After rebooting again problem was solved. Don't know if this one comes back though.
*In antispam module I see total number of checked messages 5. In AV e-mail protection I see checked 14?

In Tools, logs......clear the log file. Sorry, wrong advise, doesn't clear the detection list.
