64 kB limit for http address management list / NOD32 4.24.40 @ WIN 7 64 bit

how to get around this (hideous/outdated) limit? this list http://iblocklist.com/list.php?list=tzmtqbbsgbtfxainogvm, if cleaned up suitable for import into NOD amounts into 977 KB!

 

change in code would be the only way as I'm sure realise

 

cool. then again at the mercy of the vendor to transform from ancient to modern... ...hmm, wondering whether that will ever happen or what will be the arguments, if any at all, not to increase the limit

 

what would be the limit 1, 2 or 10Mb, unlimited? Of course 64kb could just be an arbitrary limit because nobody thought it should be any bigger

 

depends on the architecture of NOD32, who knows who/why set the limit to 64 kB. But 2 MB should do fine for the next few years, considering that list mentioned with 977 kB contains already more than 66,000 IP addresses.

I am certain that somebody will point to the host file, however having the list in NOD the application will eventually notify the user that it blocked an IP, whereas this is not happening with host file entries.

 

there are eset moderators bumping up all over this place, no word on increasing this limit?

 

I can confirm there is a limit of 64kB for importing address lists. Whether the limit can be increased or not, hard to tell but it's already on the wish list.

 

no kidding

whew, wish-list it is then for now. you cannot liaise with the software engineers to check, would make it less hard to tell?

 

still hard to tell? wish list coming true?

 

Yes, the size limit will be increased in future versions.

 

good thing. yet future versions sounds so much future, like next version or ...?

 

not fixed yet

 

Hello,

A future version of the software would mean after 4.2.x and not one of its updates.

perhaps another year+ then till 4.3

 

made it alright to 4.2.58.3, counting down the years to 4.3 to get it fixed
