upload problems with v4

Hello,

I have a problem with version 4 of Eset Smart Security or Nod32 antivirus : with the default settings, upload of files on web services such as mobileme or dropbox are impossible.
I downgraded on v3 (ESS or Nod32 antivirus),with default settings, and now all is fine.

Is anybody having the same problems? Is ESET aware of the problem?

Bye

 

Yep, I can confirm I have the same problem with version 4. I use A-Drive to upload photos and Eset 4 cripples the PC and the upload. Any other PC on the network is unable to browse the internet. The new version 4.0.437 is better than the last 4 series but still causes problems. I can confirm returning to version 3 rectifies the problem. I have posted about this problem some time ago on this forum but no joy was forthcoming!

 

if you disable web access protection does it work better? how are you connected to the net if one pc upload blocks the other?

 

I disabled the web access protection and I noticed no change. The only solution is to downgrade to v3

 

Hi

yes I have same problem

for me I cant use ESSET SS 4 with - network limiter (or similar program), or with assus driver for configuring asus WL-500W routers

what system do you have I have Vista 64b

Try found witch program is "NOT COMPATIBLE" with eset or use v3

 

The problem is also present when uploading photos to the internet in the Opera Community using their new Flash Uploader.
If you put several files in the queue, it shows a 100% progress for the first file and the freezes as ESS takes over the upload making your browser crash most of the times because the loss of control over the transfer.
What I don't understand is why would Eset do this when you're "uploading" a file that sits in "your" computer and has been checked by Eset already... what's the danger in that?
I mean, I can understand that kind of behavior if you have your browsers in active mode on ESS and it controls the downloads, but if that is not the case, why mess with the uploads as well?

 

If you set the firewall mode to Learning Mode are you able to upload filen then?

 

The problem is occurring with every Mode. I tried all possible configuration and the only solution is to downgrade to v3.

I am sure the problaim comes from the antivirus module since the same problem is occurring with nod32 v4 and without any firewall. I disabled the web protection, modified all possible parameters : always this problem. And with nod32 v3 : problem.

To summarize:
Eset Smart Security Suite V4: unable to upload
Eset Smart Security Suite V3: able to upload
nod 32 antivirus V4 and no firewall: unable to upload
nod 32 antivirus V3 and no firewall: able to upload


I think that if this problem is not setup I will go back to Kaspersky

 

I dont have any problems uploading files to my Dropbox with the dropbox folder or with use of the dropbox website (with Opera).

Same with MyOpera photo uploading, normal behaviour.

using NOD32 EAV v4, default settings.

 

But you are using EAV and I am using ESS... maybe the problem is with The firewall (again) and not the AV.

 

Well grib78 stated he also had the problem with EAV v4, im just saying I dont.

 

Do you use the latest version of eav v4 ?
I really don't understand the behavior of these softwares

 

Yes, it is the latest version available, running on Vista x64. There might be a conflict with other software installed. I dont have any other security program installed beside the Windows Firewall (disabled Windows Defender).

 

I am running Vista 32 bits, maybe the problem stands here. I do not have special softwares installed on my computer, and disabled too Windows defender.

 

Ok, I performed a lot of tests and here are the results:

Eset Smart security suite v4 : 0 ko/s in upload !
EAV v4 + free Comodo firewall : 0 ko/s in upload !
Eset Smart security suite v3 : 40 ko/s in upload
EAV v3 + free Comodo firewall : 40 ko/s in upload
Antivir free + free Comodo firewall : 100 ko/s in upload

Guess what ? I know use free protection for my pc and have better rates...

If anyone has an idea, I am open!

 

The problem is exists here too... with firewall enabled in ESET I cannot upload to mobileme at all, and also it works badly with youtube.

It is ESET Smart Security 4.... and on Vista x64

 

Try the things listed in the Knowledgebase article located here.

One other thing to try is to uncheck Block unsafe address after attack detection, located in the IDS and advanced options section.

 

I think this is a wrong track about solving the problem. I even tried to exclude domain (*me.com*) from filtering or adding it to allowed sites..etc but nothing changes.

 

Well I got tired of waiting, and have now removed ESS from my machine.
After that, I installed Microsoft Security Essentials and enabled the Windows Firewall, and I'm uploading photos to My Opera Community with no trouble at all.
I even see the percentage on every uploaded photo and there are no crashes or freezes from the browser.
I really hope they fix this because I really liked ESS but I cannot live hostage to what I can or cannot do on my machine depending on my AV. I rather have a virus once in a while than not being able to do what ever I want to do.

PS my license is still valid for a whole year so that's how much I will wait for Eset to get the game right.

 

Any updates on the upload issue?
Does the new firewall module changes ESS's behavior on uploads?

 

Does this mean we cannot download a file?So far me use ESS4 with latest mozzilla firefox n i didn't have a problem with that and i put my advanced mode setting all do default..

 

I've uploaded a larger photo to My Opera fine with Vista SP2. ESS 4.0.437 was installed and all modules and firewall enabled.

Does disabling HTTP checking make a difference? If so, we'll need you to create a log from Wireshark with the HTTP communication captured for perusal. Let me know and I'll drop you a PM.

 

I had what I think was exactly the same issue. When uploading content over HTTP, using either a web browser to YouTube or Dropbox client to Dropbox's Amazon EC2 servers, I experienced:

long ping times (1500-3000ms)
packet loss
massive corresponding net traffic usage (1MB file took about 100MB to upload)

I traced the problem to a security feature on ESET's NOD32 v4.0.467.0 for Windows 7. I can confirm that unchecking "Enable HTTP checking" in "Advanced Setup -> Web access protection -> HTTP, HTTPS" pretty much sorts the problem out. I've blogged about it here:

if somebody try 4.2.22 then let me know if it is ok? for now i do not have time and nerve

 

I have the EXACT same problem. Only its taken me two weeks to figure it out... A new modem from the ISP and a new router didnt solve it.

I'm using Live Mesh and when its turned off, everything works.

I disabled the Web Access Protection however it's not solved the problem. I then upgraded to NOD32 4.2, didnt solve it. I then went on to uninstall NOD32 4.2, still didn't solve it.

Any ideas?
