ESETSS Test - not good for me

I expect this will repeat a lot of other's findings, but I thought I would try this anyway. On installing, it froze on the Removing Backup Files screen, and forced a cold boot. When up and running, it seemed smooth enough, but refused to update. This may have been because I didn't have a username and password, but where do you get one from? I filled in the form, but no password came through in the email. Further to this, the lack of a right click scan option makes ESETSS a non-runner for me, unless they are going to update it for the full release, in which case I might try it again.

 

The default username and passoword are incorporated in the installer.They are both essbeta and will be valid for the whole beta period of the software

 

I tried using the pre-installed activation identity when I tried this out on a test system. They were refused and I was forced to use a valid User name and password. I had no problems with the a1 release but I only ran it for about 12 hours before reverting the system back to .39.

We are still looking at a June release for the ESS final.

 

Worked perfectly for me (after first removing NOD32).

 

I ran the test system with a frsh install of the OS. No anti virus or spyware was ever present on the system before ESS was installed.

 

Wow that soon! awesome, but I sure would like to try it (I'm x64 bit)

 

Thanks. Maybe I didn't read something properly. Anyway, the lack of a right click scan is no good for me, so unless they introduce that, I'll be sticking to F-Secure.

 

Beta2 of ESS will have right-click scan (context menu integration)

 

That would certainly renew my interest.

 

Let's see file exclusion and other such goodies, too

 

Yes, with all the competition out there, to be lacking any standard feature would be commercial suicide.
