    During browsing a lot of websites hang.
    When disabling HTTP scan it is much faster. Must be a small bug there

    I definately feel a difference with and or without. I will keep it this way for now. See what happens after a day or two and a couple of updates

    I tested them both. My paid license was not working properly as well although update did work. The beta info did work right away

    Back to the original question, I am not experiencing this on Vista 32 with IE7 or Firefox 3. Maybe some more info is needed? What browser? Any info that could help narrow down the problem could be useful.

    Geez i noticed it too. Using either v3 or v4 i get so much slower browsing speed as well as testing the speed.

    disabling the" enable application protocol content filtering"
    i get 677mbit/s.

    with it enable i get 261 mbit/s.

    I have win xp pro, 1 Gbit lan.

    Ok it was not the best idea to test this Beta on same night my ISP was having their normal DNS issues due to oversubscription etc (Virgin Media, used to be no1 ISP Telewest Blueyonder but now a total joke).

    Anyhow back to issue, I assumed the next day was still DNS issues as I could hardly use the web but downloads were full 20meg speed and I was trying to load dozens of sites (inc this very site) at less than 14kbit modem speeds from the 1990's and even some of them would not load.

    Two days later I think enough is enough so try using OpenDNS, it makes no difference so I think it cannot be my normal crap ISP DNS issues and I read some have slow browsing issue with this Beta.

    I ignored the above initially because I had tried to surf with all 3 aspects of ESET disabled using the Tray Icon and it made no difference but here is the weird part.

    Ok I decided to uncheck HTTP Scanning and my browsing is back to full speed, nearly all sites open and load 100% instantly.

    It works if I leave that 1 setting unchecked, no matter if all 3 aspects of ESET are enabled or disabled it works.

    I think not much testing went out on this before public got invited to test added to the other bugs I and others are getting.

    We need another new build FAST.

    EDIT #3: I'll see you in Feb 09. Can't Find Servers have worn me out again and I have no way to research the issue. Good luck to all. V3 humming along.

    EDIT #2: Still much better but I do run into Can't Find Servers at times and if I wait a little, it starts working again. Log All Blocks doesn't show anything for the time period I'm Clking to access a common, OK site I attempt to visit.

    EDIT: A 2nd Install 11/21 is WORKING FINE and pages seem to LOAD FASTER....

    In my post v4 Too Many Can’t Find Servers I speak of Time-outs from Cannot Find Server. I understand "Slow" but with "Hang" I'm not sure if your page Never Loads, or it does and somehow freezes. Neither is good but things always get worked out. (Back with V3 and None of this occurs, so somethings up.)

    Well I had slow browsing as well and sometimes sites didn't open at all. It was both in IE7 and FF3. When I disabled the firewall, the problem disappeared. Uninstalled ESS, installed EAV instead, now the problem is gone. I guess it's the firewall module, who's causing the trouble. Just for the record, it happened on both my home computer, running Vista 32bit, and my workstation, running XP 32bit.


    Cheers

    Its not the FW for me or others when its the HTTP AV section causing it even if you right click the Tray Icon and DISABLE all 3 ESET Modules its still the same.

    The only FIX is to go in advanced settings and uncheck that HTTP setting and then you can surf normally again with ESET enabled or disabled (I know it makes no sense as it should work with ESET disabled, obv another major bug).

    Well, I'm pretty sure it's the FW in my case, since there's no troubles with EAV and when I disabled FW in ESS, there was no troubles. I have the HTTP scanner on.


    Cheers

    I'd suggest enabling logging all blocked connection attempts in the IDS section of the firewall setup to see what communication is being denied.

    I found my problem. It is just plain and simple HTTP scanner. After I disable this browsing is much faster

    hello!
    i dont have that problem. but can you enable the [active mode] for browsers and tell us if that mode can really work more efficiently. i was always wondering how much better can an "active mode" do than the default mode.
    thanx.

    Installed ESS 4 beta on my old computer which had no antivirus installed, and still browsing seems just as fast as before.

    -512mb RAM
    -1.6GHz processer

    PS: Anyone tried ticking Heuristics on file execution? It warns saying it will reduce system performance or w/e, so I didn't do it. How badly does it slow it down?
