    Since 'updating' from 699 to 672, i've noticed the realtime scanner is far more active than before. After booting up, I have to wait over 5 minutes for things to settle down which is becoming a bit of a pain.

    System start-up scan is not enabled via the scheduler.

    Any ideas?

    have been with eset for the past five years, while I was using only NOD32 couldn't been more hapier, everything went downhill since my change to ESS, waited and waited for Eset to fix never ending issues (compare message boards of other big and popular security companies to this one, - no one has so many compaints and software related issues like ESS, that speaks for it self) ...

    I have another 6 days to renew my licence and I decided I will not.

    Time to move on and spend my money on somethig that will not give me BSOD, update problems, install or uninstall problems etc .....

    Bye all

    I feel for you. I just had to deal with a Vista 32 BSOD using Depicus WOL and ESS 672. We've been with Nod32 since PC User raved about it over five years ago but the latest PC User issue on security suites skipped the ESET writeup. Makes me wonder if there was some drama that got swept under a rug? I've renewed all 25+ ESS licenses until 2011 so I'm in for the long haul. I would love to see them sort things out but the number of issues with ESS in the last seven months have seen me remove it from our Network and revert to EAV with which I have no current issues.

    Now I'm left up a certain creek researching freeware firewalls so I can protect our Notebooks because I've had more than my three strikes with ESS.

    EDIT: Comodo V3.0.25.378 and ESET EAV V3.0.672 are behaving perfectly so far. Zero issues. Nice!

    Any idea why I cannot just update? This seems to happen with every new version. If I just update then something gets messed up and my real time protection gets disabled. I try to enable it and it says it is malfunctioning. I tried to repair and restart 3 times with no success. I had to totally uninstall and reinstall to get it to work.

    Yes I have onlyever had one clean install and fed up with having to do the unistall reinstall thing.

    I don't see many benefits to me in this release so I will wait until a major update presents it self as I don't need the practice and my present .699 version works fine

    Hello,

    You can visit the ESET Software Antivirus Updates (formerly Support News) page at http://www.eset.com/support/news.php in your web browser to find out information about the latest versions of the software.

    ESET is looking at adding some new notification methods in the future. What method(s) that would employ and when they would be implemented I could not say, though.


    Regards,

    Hello Aryeh Goretsky,

    It has been several weeks now since ESET Smart Security v3.0.672 has been released and I'm still waiting for the Dutch language version. Hopefully it will be ready soon.

    Thanks.

    Hello everyone.

    I updated some days ago to 672 and now everytime I boot, the real-time protection cannot initialize so I have to do it manually. Do I have to reinstall?

    Well I was forced to update after my previous version started without cause to run my dual core at 100% on boot up.

    And as every other time the install failed because a log file was locked resulting in having to turn off eset services and installing again.

    It's getting to a point that I cringe whenever a new update from eset is posted, surely an installer that stops services before the install can't be that hard :blink:

    Well you wouldn't really want a security program being that easy to shut down really :)
