ESS 3.0 Final Released!

Just tried 3.0 final and it seems to be the first version which doesn't freeze my Windows Vista, finally

 

I do not manage to resolve the problem, I already repaired the filing cabinets and be still in same it finalizes it up-to-date version is to 2634

 

Of course they work . They work 24/7 .

 

have any websites tested the ESS firewall yet?

 

no website can tell me more than my own testing has done already... you really think so of these magazine and websites are true experts in the field of security testing? If only being published was the sole criteria for determining how qualified someone was...

 

On eset.sk ESS version is 3.0.555 but only "cesky" .

 

That is why we should wait until Monday .

Most likely different just because of some translation difference

 

As a last resort have you tried exporting your settings, and performing a uninstall/clean install.

 

Thanks

 

it's 551

 

It's 555. I"m using it now for testing.

 

please tell me why me

 

@proactivelover

If you visit the www.eset.sk site it says 551 and the www.eset.cz site it says 555. You obviously used the .sk site and that's why you only see 551, but even if it says 551 the files is 555 on both sites.

 

Well if 3.0.551 is the final then I'm passing on NOD32 V3.
It's becoming clear that ESET needs tighter quality control and maybe form a specialized dedicated group of beta testers.

 

Well according to eset the release date of nod32 and ess v3 is Nov 5th which means it's not yet released. So i guess what we see on monday is the real final version. If 551 is the final i doubt since another user in this forum said he already had and also included a screenshot of version 557.

So i don't think it's fair to complain about version 3 final until it's released and you know that the version you are using actually is the final.

 

It is already working that I did such and what as you said to me


Greats,
Fábio

 

There are reports off .555 557 and who noise perhaps there is already another version. As I understand it, they are internal testing version. So Eset is working hard on fixing bugs

 

is it a rule based firewall or application based?

 

Hi andy2008.
yeah i could of worded it better, but if it was an official release, how the hell did they miss bugs so blatantly obvious ?? I mean within 3 minutes of installing 3.0.511 the bugs in it just slapped me in the digital face. !
At 6.30 pm (U.K) i had an email from Eset Tech they wanted more details urgently ...so fingers crossed for monday.

 

Both actually - rules can be built to control ports or applications

looks very similar to the Kerio Personal Firewall that Sunbelt software (Counterspy) recently bought - perhaps the underlying code comes from them

hope this helps

so u can set access to the internet to a program, and u can make specific rules for ports and stuff? how easy is the firewall to use?

 

The firewall is easy to use yet really configurable. In the past 7 years I've used and tested many security apps and I must say pf included in ESS is a piece of good work.

People with minimum or even no idea about setting up program like this will be as pleased as software experts who need everything to be set up the way they want. The automatic mode provides an efficient protecion by letting applications request their connections without prompting and it blocks all the trafiic not initialized by the user, whereas the interactive mode puts a nice dialog box everytime a new connection request occurs and then lets the user decide if he just wants to tell the firewall 'let this application do what it wants to do' or configure everything to the last specific detail of the new rule being set up.

For the past few years I've been sticking to Outpost but what they did with their Vista-compatible version is quite a shame so I've decided I'm sticking with ESS now. Somehow I know I won't be disappointed.

Sending big "Hello!" to Polish fans of NOD32 and the rest of you all over the world

 

And me too, and I have a lifetime licence.
I've never been let down by ESET & the new ESS has given me no problems when I checked it out.

 

sweet, cant wait for this to be released tomorrow

 

Hm, I think there are enough people who beta tested and reported issues. But if you then get as a reply that your issue is confirmed but cannot be taken care of as there are not enough ressources then all beta testing is of no use. I think they are too ambitious with this suite as they do not have the ressources to develop it carefully. If they cannot sort out the issues very quickly (which I'm not very optimistic about) they will for sure loose more and more customers.

I for myself don't see me buying ESS any time soon, although I was so much awaiting it. But there are simply too many things not well done, and this is a security application, errors within a program are simply not tollerable.
