    I was camped on Eset's page and they still slipped it by me! :D

    I see no difference in speed, which I like personally. I like my speed!

    I'll just have to go along here and see what happens.

    You have had no problems with the beta, is that correct?

    LOL, no other than the GUI staying put after booting, it has been running like a dream.

    The lsass error seams to have been fixed as well, haven't seen it around for a while...

    And I have it on good authority that Trojan detection through IMON using Advanced Heuristics is about to be greatly improved :D

    Cheers :D

    I was hoping it would be in this beta, but doesn't look like the AH module was changed, guess they want us to test these new features first before mixing it up more. :D

    Btw do you guys have to press terminate 2 times for the eicar.com and the .txt one, and 4 times each for the zipped, and double zipped before the message dissappears?

    I am testing it on an old low end machine, PIII 500, 256 Megabytes Memory.
    With all options marked I am not seeing any speed problem. :)

    Yes, guess they want to make sure you are going against their advice to proceed with the download, when a virus has been detected...

    Cheers :D

    You are correct, they have missed out the "Leave" button, which probably is a good thing. The advice is to "Terminate", if you try to close the Window, it bounces straight back up, and you have to try and close it again...

    I think they need to alter the advice message and remove "leave".

    Cheers :D

    It will get your attention! Maybe a rename button would be a good feature too since xp tends to slap files in documents and settings in a hurry.

    Yes, but my point is that they give you TWO choices and only one is present. If they only give you one button to choose from, then why the advice telling you to choose from the TWO......leave or terminateo_O

    I missed that, then reread your post, and took another look at the screen shot, and edited my message to reflect that...

    Cheers :D

    Yes it does warn upon downloading the eicar test files, but remember that it only works if the IMON setting for the downloading program is "maximum efficiency." When set for "maximum compatability" IMON seems to do nothing about downloading an infected file. This means no meaningful protection for those of us who use a different browser which can't be used with the max eff. setting (in my case Maxthon 1.0.0178--downloads simply froze) or who use a download manager which ESET warns must be set in max compatability mode.

    Update: My Maxthon now seems to be downloading perfectly well with NOD32 beta. I have no idea what the problem was, but I'm glad it's gone.

    Why does NOD32 scan .gif and .jpg files?
    Is that really necessary?

    Notice that on the new ver.

    Hmm? I use Maxthon 1.0.0178 and it detected it on higher compatability... Yours is automatically on max comp?

    I uninstalled and deleted Eset from program files before installing the beta.
