    No it won't be less secure as your only directing NOD32 to not mess specifically with that exe's HTTP communications... or basically telling the "Web access protection" element of threatsense to exclude/ignore ANY web communication, IE HTTP, HTTPS, 80, 8080 or 443 but I personally have found this element of threatsense is not specific to those ports but to any of the traffic of this kind.

    The "-->Web Browsers" part does not exist on my settings. LOL. All I have is "Address management" and "Active mode." "Active mode" gives no option for a red x.

    Disabling web access protection completely does nothing, still over 500ms pings.

    Disabling all protection completely does nothing.

    Uninstalling Nod32 fixes everything.

    The problem has something to do with the installation ... or Eset was simply not ready for Windows 7 64 Bit.

    I've uninstalled/reinstalled for the last time ... at least until I read the problems with high pings due to Nod32 are fixed.

    Summary
    Nod32 64 and Comodo 64 installed = all internet browsers (IE8, Firefox, Chrome) return over 500ms pings. My remote desktop into work is completely useless.

    Uninstalling Comodo/Leaving Nod32 = Only Chrome continues to have riduculous latency.

    Uninstalling Nod32/Leaving Comodo = Everything is fast.

    I'm sure I'll be fine with Comodo firewall, Avast free, and SAS Pro. At least everything works.

    Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

    The paid version of Online Armor is not free obviously . So you're not right there. Anyways thanks for helping out but I don't think there is a need for trash talking down some noobs :) Our cyber-life is hard enough :D

    Thanks though.

    I will check it out and keep you guys posted if this solves the problem.

    Though I think it should just work be default.

    You're correct.

    If I understood well is that in Windows Vista after SP1 and windows 7 this has been updated . This can not be selected anymore.

    I think the idea was to make it "easier" But actually it made it worse . Cause people can't use any top rated firewall with Nod32 V4 anymore.

    V3 works flawless.

    So thanks for your help ObsidianX I appreciate it.But sadly we're back to square one. o_O

    I'm sorry to hear you can't seem to fix your problems. I don't understand why you don't have the "Web browsers" option as it's one level up from "Active mode". Can anyone else chime in if it's there on Windows 7 because I believe Obsidian X is simply not seeing it. update confirmed on a VM that the ability to create "Internet browser"/application rules/exclusion/inclusion lists for the "Web access protection" is completely missing on Vista SP1 forward and 7. THIS SUCKS ESET!

    They don't have this option in Vista SP1 and Windows 7...

    That is also the main problem. We're stuck . And kind of suprised we are the only ones posting . I am sure there are many people who have this problem.

    People who don't knwo about it will probably not use Nod32. I love Nod32 so want this to be fixed.

    WOW I just checked some Vista and 7 VMs are you correct! That setting is missing! What gives Eset that was really stupid to remove! WOW no "Web access protection" exclusion/inclusion content filtering control to FIX/PREVENT compatibility issues! Right here in this forum I can count on one hand people who could create exclusions here to possible fix issues. Specially the guy running JRMC. Sucks to have removed/disabled Eset!

    I can't agree more! Perhaps there is a way to re-enable it? Eset? Anyone?

    Well Marcos knows about it. So I think /hope they are working on a fix.

    From what I understood they removed this function to make it automatic or more compatible but actually they made it worse.

    If version 3 ESS and NOD32 works, why not just use that ?

    Well removal and some other things work better in V4 . But that's another subject. V4 should work. No matter if V3 works in my opinion.

    Not if Comodo firewall is installed. If Comodo is installed, all the browsers I have tested have high latency > 500ms, Web Access enabled or not. In fact, even turning all Nod32's protections off does nothing. It's only cured via uninstall.

    Even using Nod32 when Comodo is uninstalled, Google Chrome continues to have > 500ms latency.

    I'm using Comodo's firewall and antivirus until Nod gets it together. I've been using Nod32 for years and years now, but breaking things that work is a deal breaker for me.

    Just get a NAT router. Then you have no need for Comodo anyway, since nothing can get into your PC from the WAN unless you explicity request it.

    After blaming my ISP, reinstalling Firefox, restoring my disk, changing from Open DNS to my ISP and back, and much trouble shooting it finally dawned on me that my problem started just after installing version 4 of NOD32 on my Windows7 x64 computer. It was bad under Vista Ultimate x64 but this latest revision of NOD 32 and Windows7 x64 almost takes me back to Dial Up days!

    It simply never entered my mind that the very Nod32 software that I have recommended to so many people was actually the cause of my slow surfing and greatly increases ping rate.

    Guess the only choices left to me are:
    1. Downgrading to Version 3
    2. Suffering with what I have until EST gets around to doing something!
    3. Taking the loss on my 2 year license and finding a more reliable program after using NOD32 for many, many years.

    I am really not happy about any of those options and from previous experience with EST's tech support I do not expect them to even acknowledge the problem, let alone fix it for quite some time. Sure hope I am wrong about them this time.

    This among other issues is why when my Eset license expires here in less then a month I will not be renewing it. Eset has done nothing but went down hill for me the last year and I wont pay for the junk they are feeding now :mad:. Kind of sad 4 years of awesome service to have it all ruined in little over a year, all because they refuse to fix issues outstanding in there software. Incompatibility with Windows 7 is another big issue with them.

    Well lets not get this thread about if Eset does well or not.

    I would like to keep it open till either a solution can be posted or someone tells me they updated the current version.

    If not it will get locked.

    I'm having pretty much the same problem and have been for a long time.

    On both Vista 64 and now 7 64, with Windows firewall and version 4, Chrome is horrible while the other browsers seem fine. Only way to solve it is complete uninstall of Nod32.

    I'll give the beta a try....

    On some sites the beta is better with Window7 x64, but with most using Firefox 3.5.6 there is still no big improvement.
