Is 4.2.71.2 a New Version

Hi:

I just switched to Windows 7 64 Bit so I downloaded the 64 bit version of NOD32 Antivirus and was expecting the 4.2.67.10 as indicated on ESET's page. Instead I received 4.2.71.2. I couldn't find any reference to this in a search I did. Does anyone know anything about this version? Thanks, Kent

 

Hello,

I just downloaded v4.2.67 from ESET's servers. Can you tell me where you downloaded this file from?

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

 

As soon as up uninstalled the old version and installed the new one, I checked and, I too see version 4.2.71.2

I really wish the md5 hash/sha 1 were easily available for me to compare!

Downloaded 10 mins ago from the ESET downloads page. CRAP!

 

The upload process of several dozens of GB takes hours to complete. The availability of new installers will be announced shortly and the version information and changelog updated as well (this never happens immediately, there's a small time gap until all the information propagates to the servers).

 

I thought I downloaded it directly from ESET. I had to input my password just as usual. This is the link. I downloaded the 64 bit version Home PC Users http://www.eset.com/download

 

I can confirm the Program Component Update 4.2.71.2 was from the ESET download centre, those moving to this build may want to export your settings, first.
Awaiting changelog of this maintenance release.

 

New version confirmed.

 

very unusual to get the update before it's posted here, I usually have a wait a couple of days for the update after it's announced here.

 

where is the real homepage for this version ? I cant see it from above link

 

are the business binaries being updated as well?

Is this just enu, or are we seeing other languages as well? - I am particularly interested in frc and esn

thx

 

I'm pretty sure home and BE in most languages will be updated by this afternoon.

 

Version 4.2.71
Fix: Lockups on certain system configurations
Fix: Memory leaks when gui stays maximized for a longer period of time
Fix: Mail saved as Draft is scanned with antispam and moved to the Junk folder in Windows Live Mail
Added: Button for adding applications to the list of applications excluded from content filtering
Added: Support for scanning SSL in Firefox 4
Added: Support for SAGETECH Enterprise Right Management
Added: Support for Cisco ASA WebSSL Smart Tunnel
Added: Support for Parallels Virtuoso

Smart Security has one additional fix:
Fix: ESET Firewall blocks wifi connection

 

It would best to not make the update available for download until it has been announced or listed on Eset's website. The MD5, and SHA1 check sum should also be available with the download link.

 

Any screenshot to understand?

Thanks for the new release

 

Change Log is now posted...

Does this also mean the problem with the firewall blocking the connection after some time running after coming out of stand-by or hibernate?

 

Upgrade install or fresh?

 

A fresh install is generally better although you may install over top, as it where. Export your settings first. Additional information here

 

See the News article

 

I'd debate that for a straightforward update like this. This is not a major version update and in any case the install process will cleanly close down NOD32, ending running processes and services, re-install and restart. That's the way Eset have designed it and it works smoothly.

 

And I will 2nd JeremyWW's comment above. Best to my knowledge, have always installed right on top of the old and chose "Keep Current Settings" when installing the new version. Been using NOD for about 4 years now and never had a failure. Really like the way ESET has programmed installing over old versions. Works for me!

 

Did a fresh install as advised, no bugs so far, looking good Eset.

 

Noted and thanks, Banger696

 

Installed and working fine.

Thanks ESET.
