Thunderbird 3.1

Hi I hope somebody can help me. I have ESET NOD32 Antivirus version 4.2.35.0 and I just upgrade to Thunderbird 3.1. The NOD32 Antivirus version 4.2.35.0 isn't compatible with Thunderbird 3.1. My question is this: Would NOD32 Antivirus version 4.2.40.0 be compatible with Thunderbird 3.1?

Thank you,
Claudia

ESET Smart Security Extension for Mozilla Thunderbird
Not compatible with Thunderbird 3.1

 

An ESET Customer Care Representative has updated this case with the following information:

Hi there, this will require a newer release of ESET software, currently this is being worked on.

Thank you for contacting ESET Technical Support.

 

Hi, thank you for the info. Do you any idea when the newer release of ESET software will be out? And a another thing, Is there a way for people to be notify when there is a version of ESET come out?

Thank you,
Claudia

 

Maybe this workaround can help:
look for "install.rdf" in subfolder of your install folder

Change the red marked line above and try again the integration.
i dont use it but major versions of mozilla software dont change behavior
that much to deny this manual upgrade of index.rdf.

 

I am using Windows7 x64 and I am unable to update this file even after running a cmd as Administrator!

 

uncheck eset self defense first (needs restart IMO)

 

Even doing that and updating the Install file in C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET NOD32 Antivirus\Mozilla Thunderbird\ rebooting still does not fix the problem. The plugin still does not work and is disabled in Thunderbird.

 

Sorry, I'm just a customer. I just posted the reply I received from ESET.

 

@ claud44: Where did you get the 3.1 version? I just updated to the latest version using the internal updater and according to Mozilla, latest version available is 3.0.5. Kinda confusing.....

 

@ PatG: I got the 3.1 version at http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ but I went back to version 2..0.24 until the newer release of ESET software comes out

 

It came down as an update for 3.0.5 for me.

 

Alas I stayed with 3.1 as I like some of the added features and changed the other piece of software that was involved.

 

I like the version 3.1 but I don't feel safe enough without having ESET plug in for it.

 

you read this from me?
>> and try again the integration.
(uncheck and check again!?)

 

Sorry but I do not understand exactly what you are trying to say.

 

Correct me, someone, if I'm wrong, but it seems that e-mail scanning will still work even without integration. The menu isn't available right inside Thunderbird, but NOD32 still reports that e-mail scanning is enabled, so I do not feel uncomfortable. I used NOD32 when it wasn't integrated with Eudora, way back when. E-mail was still scanned and I was never infected.

I tested to see whether NOD32 would add its message to mail received by sending a message to myself at another address and the NOD32 scan tag was added. That's good enough for me for the time being, until an update comes down.

 

E-mail coming from POP3 would still be scanned internally, also threats are still being detected by the real-time protection module. The integration only adds anti-spam for ESS, being able to scan send email and received IMAP mail and be able to tag email messages ('this message is scanned by ESET').

 

That's what I felt was happening. Incoming POP3 messages get scanned. I think that outgoing messages are not scanned without integration. IMAP wouldn't work, either, as you say. ESS does more things than NOD32 alone, so maybe anti-spam isn't working, but I have spam filtering in Thunderbird anyway.

 

Yep, checked again just a little while ago and its there to upgrade. But after reading about it here, thought I'd just let it cool off awhile before upgrading. Thanks all!

 

sorry, i dont use TB any longer - stopped with 1.5x (longer ago)
there has to be a routine to deaktivate and re-activate the TB-integration.
if there is a possibility to uninstall that within TB itself, go to the add-ons
and uninstall it there - then re-activate the integration in your Eset software.

 

Thank you for this update, I will go ahead and start using 3.1

 

It does not show up in the Thunderbird Add-Ons list under either Extensions or Plug-ins.

 

ESET Smart Security Extension 4.2.40.0 is still listed in my extensions in Thunderbird 3.1 with the boldface line "Not compatible with Thunderbird 3.1" below the description. It cannot be un-installed from the listing, however.

If it is not even shown in your Thunderbird, that seems odd. Maybe you have a different version of NOD32?

 

I don't know why it does not show. I have TB 3.0.5 and NOD32 4.2.40. It only shows as a toolbar on TB 3.0.5. Maybe it will appear if I update to 3.1. When I started the update, I received the message that it was not compatible and then ended the update.
