hi these are the most important things that ESS v4 needs : 1. Improving the firewall while maintaining good stability and performance 2. adding HIPS technology ( they said they added it but actually they didn't ) 3- system protection ( not to be able modify any system components unless this feature is disable ) 4- for the support they should make an automated message so that the user would know that his message was recieved 5- When firewall blocks an attack (such as a worm, DNS poisoing attack etc), I would like ESET to display a message and inform the user that an attack has been blocked. 6- this one is very important I'd like to see an in-built sandbox on Eset like they have on Norman Virus Control to analyse newer malware and trace system activity. It would have to be a good one though. I've seen new malware that can detect a sandbox environment therefore not execute as it would on a live system. 7- there must be an option related only with programs notifications and it should have two buttons Enable and Disable for all and each notification 8-Change the events logging so that instead of just recording an entry that states "The program modules have been updated" it should actually state what module was updated, what the old version was and what the new version was (e.g. something like "The Firewall module has been updated from 1044 to 1045"). 9- there must be a removal tool for Ess to use it when reinstalling the program if they really make these things Ess will destroy any virus and will be the best in digital security world and thanks for your great efforts note : I took some ideas form people posting before me
hi again I remembered one more thing Eset doesn't support a lot of compression methods and that makes it week when scanning compressed files even though that when you extract them Eset will immediately scan them with real-time file system protection
I'd rather have excellent heuristics than potential incompatibilities and/or false positives by too frequent updates. As Marcos has pointed out elsewhere, quality assurance takes some time. So, even if other companies push out updates every 5 minutes, that doesn't mean, the updates cover the threats discovered 5 minutes ago! Competitors only stress their update frequency, not the time it took them to complete the full analysis-programming-packaging-qs-delivery cycle. full acq - I mean, what does an automated message like this cost? "Dear valued customer, thank you for contacting eset support. Your request has been issued ticket number 123456. Please understand that due to the large amount of messages received from our vast customer base we cannot personally respond to each and every message sent to us." At least we then would know our message has been received. oh! - Hopefully, eset doesn't listen to this! Imagine you are on an open wireless network directly connected to the Internet - with all the messages about blocked threats you wouldn't be able to get any real work done. At the very least, eset should make this kind of messages optional
Exactly. Just try enabling logging of blocked connections in the IDS setup and you'll probably see the firewall log growing in size quickly. If a balloons was displayed as well, you might easily end up with alerts being shown up even several hours or days after disabling firewall until there's no alert to display in the queue.
Eset firewall is very weak make it better ! Eset doesn't clean archives he delete all archive but it should only delete infected files inside it and leave the rest like KASPERSKY !!!
Hello, Since I upgraded to ESET Smart Security (ESS) version 4, we have the following issue: We are using in our company a number of browser applications for uploading (BIG) documents to our servers (Flash / PHP uploaders). Since we upgraded from version 3 to version 4, the upload progress bar in the browser application does not work correctly. It immediately shows 100% upload ready with an impossible high upload speed. And next nothing happens in the Browser application for a very long time. After some time, the browser application continues (upload ready). What ESET 4 seems to do, it directly catches the uploaded file, first storing it locally for scanning and than uploading it on the background to our servers. This is very disturbing for us as our employees think that the browser has frozen up as they see the upload progress bar directly at 100% and nothing seems to happen (for a long time). A crude solution for this issue is to completely disable HTTP - scanning (Advanced config -> Antivirus -> webaccess -> HTTP -> disable HTTP contol). As a result ALL HTTP scanning is disabled. Enabling HTTP scanning and adding our domain names to the list of domains not to be checked, DOES NOT solve the upload issue. ======================================================== Here you can try / test this your self: http://www.tinywebgallery.com/en/tfu/web_demo2.php The upload size of this Flash uploader is limited to 300 KB but if you squeeze your netwerk speed, you will see that the progress bar does work correctly with HTTP-filter turned OFF and goes directly to 100% if you turn the filter on again. ========================================================= So what we would like to see is: A - make a distinction between HTTP UPLOADING and DOWNLOADING in this setting. B - make it possible to define domains that are free from HTTP scanning for UPLOADS. So we could add our company domains to the ESS of our empoyees so they can upload the files to our servers using our webapplications. So NO underwater caching of upload files by ESS. This would really help our company, our employees and our system administrator to setup a better balance between using user friendly company web applications with upload fnctions - and - a good safe and secure use of ESS.
I like to see password protection for diffrent items (av, fw and spam) ra remember install password ! ra remember package install (que) to client uninstall parameters for other vendor goal better support for lan and wan detection for updates having id's in tasks and profiles voor added deleting and renaming possibility for month scan by task offering discount program for home users (make eset bigger) component updating like patches (saw more users of this) I now use the products( av, ess and ra) for 2 weeks for 320 users (ex mcafee epo user)
This option isn't sufficient to clean archive from its viruses ,, ESET deletes the whole archive however cleaning mean to delete only the files of infection in it. Do you have a reason
I would strongly suggest that ESET get their firewall to pass Windows logo test (or logon test I can't remember). I tried to repair Windows XP a while ago and this error message kept comming up that eset firewall doesn't pass windows logo test, the messages kept comming up and I had to abort the repair and reinstall Windows XP after a format. Also this message pops up several times when I install eset smart security. Next, I've had a few rootkits install themselves on my system over the course of 6 months, looks like the same one each time. eset SS can't detect it and I get lots of pop ups from the firewall that svchost is trying to communicate with someone somewhere(I'm using interactive mode). It doesn't tell you the web sites or that anything odd is happening. If I start Webroot spysweeper with av and disable eset av, webroot gives me notifications (above the task bar) of all the websites(full name) that a program on my computer is trying to connect too. This is what tipped me off that I had malware. I ended up using unhackme to remove it, webroot av couldn't find it either. Eset needs to improve their rootkit detector. Shaun
Add HIPS Add a behavior blocker Make the signatures databases much bigger. This will truly make it the best in my oppinion
I quote you entire message because the same thing is happening in the Opera Community with the new flash uploader, you put some files in the queue and then you hit upload, after that you see 100% for the first file and the browser freezes... depending on how many files and how big they are after a few minutes you see download complete or the browser crashes because it does not register activity directly. This is baaad behavior from Eset, specially when I don't have active mode enabled for my browser.. Hence, the antivirus should check the files on disc and let the browser do it's business alone.
PROVIDE A "RESUME" FEATURE [ LIKE MICROSOFT! ] FOR FILE DOWNLOADING THAT HAS BEEN STOPPED AND RESET BY A DISCONNECTED DIALUP LINK. I have just spent over 10 hours trying to download all the files after "upgrading" from 3.0.650 to 3.0.684 with my 40kps dialup connection, which is the only service I can get here in the boondocks. On the 6th try, over the weekend with lower traffic to the servers in "Lower Slobervia", I finally got them done. If there is ANY clitch in the link, the files fail and start all over again from the beginning! Microsoft solved this ages ago - time for ESET to do the same.
Is there feature that check rules and file paths ? I mean if you delete / uninstall some program, so no point to keep those rules. Just tested something and the rule was still there even file didnt exist. Or is there some delay for cleaning?
- An anti-phising protection that could be integrated into browser (IE, Firefox, etc.) - Improve detection and removal of virus, malware, spyware, adware, keyloggers, root-kits, etc... - HIPS - Cookie blocker - An easy way to report false positive or real threats and an email like what you received it and/or that you have corrected the situation. - improve the firewall wich seems the weakest part of the suite
Internet activity lights in system tray? How about add Internet activity lights in system tray? Similar to the ZoneAlarm system tray icon? Useful for indicating Internet activity... http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/9655/sdagdae0.gif
I would like a sanbox as many others here. But it should be userfriendly. Not to draw parallels to kasperksy 2010, but theire sanbox is a but hard to figure out when it comes to downloading files.When running IE or FF in sandbox, if you download a file it is hard to find it when the download finish. If ESS should have a sandbox I whish it would run web browsers and email clients in sandbox bye default. And it should be possible to download files and save them wherever you want. Just like you do when you are using your browser without a sandbox.
