The Threat is very long, so I cannot read all - sorry. Future Changes: - Better Firewall Sandbox function to prevent malicious code injection. Downloaded files should be droped in an secure download folder bevor use it in the system. Included HIPS I think its very importantly to conrol programs. - An drop Box on the desktop to submit unknown files direct to the Eset Labs - Better script protection with possibility to make own scripts - Sysinspector2 Possibility an function to get help from Eset Labs Team over remote computer with an secure channel. Ability to dissable Registry Entries The Gui schould be update because I think its a little unclearly. Look at Autoruns - Language Support should be better, because are many here and other Forums that annoy to wait a long time to translate the englisch Version in other languages.
ESET doesnt need to work on nod32 v5 or v6 like other vendors whom have been using this for years as some sort of marketing spin. The average consumer gets sucked into this marketing hype thinking they are investing in the latest product which some how is a requirement for the proceeding year. These software vendors are no better off than the kids at EA selling gimmicks such as fifa 2009, 2010, 2011, along with highlighting the very huge overwhelming changes they have NOT made but rather the smaller less insignificant ones. Nod32 is well known for its simplicity and unnecessary bloatware crap which these days is becoming very rare indeed. Majority of the features suggested by users are already included just look a little closer and you will find them. As always im sure ESET will continue to update their software as and when needed rather than selling false claims in pursuit of the almighty dollar. In saying that it is not perfect though. My personal suggestion would be some sort of sandboxing feature to run unknown files inside a protected environment, in which advanced heuristics analyze such malicious code and if present, block as required or alert the user for further action.
There have been alot of requests for a sandbox feature, although in reality I feel it will only be a minority of real "power users" who would ever use the feature! I've had Pc's for like the last 20 years, for business and personal use, and have never had any reason to run a program in a "protected" area, and I can't forsee that i ever will. I would imagine most users stick generally to software they know. In 5 years from now, when im downloading Itunes 15, I wont want to be running it in a sandbox first, "just to make sure". Any "unknown" software, that i download, i will be puttting my faith in my current Anti-Virus Real Time protection, as i have done for all these years, and...touch wood, have never been infected! I feel adding a sandbox will enlarge the "footprint" of ESS and start making it bloatware just like Kaspersky and many others, are doing now with there software. I find ESS currently very fast, even on a 6 year old XP system. The main reason I swiched to ESS is I beleive it to be "A lean, mean, fighting machine", and very much hope it stays this way. Eset has found its "Niche" in a very busy marketplace. Also like everything else, if you want Sandbox, Online file vault, File enryption, etc, etc, then there are separate programs that can give you these facilities. Lets not try to make a program thats a "jack of all trades, but master of none." Just also a note on HIPS, apparently according to ESET, the program does already have HIPS, but its not configurable at present, so many people don't think it's there! Apparently the "Intrusion Detection" section in the program is the HIPS or at least part of it!
1. I would like to be able to click on Applicatoin / Rule tab to alphabetize the list of programs in order to find what i'm searching for sooner. All other firewalls i have used has this ability. I circled the tab in red on the photo to be clear. 2. Also i would like to see the total number of connections shown under network connections or on the desktop toolbar where the Eset icon is. For example: Inbound connection - 200, Outbound connections - 150. 3. It would also be great to be able to import a blocklist into Eset's firewall. Like Outpost, and Online Armor has. Eset could i get some feedback on what Eset is planning to add to their firewall??
I use many usb sticks on my Laptop daily, when I visted customers. It would therefore be a great help if ESS, automatically popup with a message that are saying: Your USB has been Scanned for infections, You can now use it. It would be a great help in the daily work. Best Regards
No, absolutely no... Why bother me with a message when nothing bad is going on... Let that pop up happens only when ESET actually finds something wrong. I don't need to be nagged each time I insert a usb stick just to "be sure it's working" . I already have found virii on different usb sticks inserted in my machine by ESET and the way it is working now it's perfect and less intrusive.
I would like a idle scan when the computer has not been in use for x minutes, or when the screensaver kicks in. I would like ESS/NOD32 to remember all that safe files it has been scanning so the next scan dont take as long as the first!
I think too HIPS and Community detection are important... have a best easy solution for send malware (example have a form in software for sending files)
I think that automatic submission of files and statistics should be turned on by default. Just imagine how many threats you could reveal if every single user will send you files which contains potential malware.
I actually like ESS just the way it is, I love the way I could configure the rules and zones on the "Interactive Mode" of the Personal Firewall component, the only problem I've had is that I could only add IP Addresses, I wish there's an option to add Hosts (and wildcards of hosts) to the firewall rules and zones. If other new components would be added, I also wish that there's an option not to install those modules (HIPS module for example).
Keep ESS lean and fast. Most software problems I have is where companies bring out a "new" version, the best software I have is where it has been developed or evolved over time. "new" versions are mostly used to catch people to upgrade to make the company more money. I would like to think that if there is a version 5 / 6 or whatever its just a name change and the version I have now is the core of any future developments. Obviously new operating systems or processors need to be catered for.
+1 *Better Firewall with HIPS. *Better self defense. *Improved cleaning, ex: rootkits and deeply embedded spyware. *Behaviour blocker.
One feature I would like to se added to ESET Smart Security 4. I was running AVG and it was alright at keep any Major threat out but it really sucked at keeping tracking cookies out and that is the main reason I switched to ESET 4 a few days ago because I have heard great things about it and wanted to use it for about 2 years now and I never bothered making the switch. The one thing I wish ESET would do is give you the option to set how fast it will Scan your PC when Scanning the same way AVG does,I understand for some they may not have a powerful enough Machine to set it to it's highest setting if this was implemented into ESET 4 but that is why there could be 3 to 4 different Speed settings.I know for myself running an ASUS MOBO with an 17 860 CPU 8GB Corsair Ram and 7 64Bit Pro my Machine could run AVG on the highest setting and olny use about 12 to 17% of the CPU where as an older ACER I had with a 2.8 Dual core intel would run at 100% almost all the time.
Re: One feature I would like to se added to ESET Smart Security 4. A firewall that doesn't break when you have various Offload options enabled on your network cards.
Read about all of the staff here with Eset? I have the feeling we can write here what we want, a reaction does not occur. We write our fingers sore here not for nothing.
I know this sounds weird but id love to see a customisable interface. ive never once seen a security suite that lets you create your own interface i would love to have an awsome hi tech anime look with cool buttons lol i think it would be fun and create more of a "community" for ESET
Hello, Message threads like this "Future Changes to..." one are particularly valuable to ESET's staff because they place feature requests in one location. As has been previously stated, a number of ESET's employees, including customer care, developers, IT staff, product marketing managers, QA engineers, researchers, technical support engineers, technical writers and virus lab staff (just to name a few) regularly read messages in ESET's section of the Wilders Security Forums. This does not, however, mean that they are going to reply to every single message. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
puuh your reply tell me that Eset is living. Thanks for your answer. With respect I waiting to be a Beta-User for the "Next Generation" Eset products. Don't think I'm angry I love Eset too but some features should be updated. greetings, aido
In the case of threat detection at D: \ CD - DVD drive - NOD32 - Offers to clean up and restart the PC. Sense in this - 0! I can understand when it comes to cleaning the memory. But what the point of suggesting the obvious stupidity? After all - NOD finds himself a threat during the scan - We are not talking about Windows Explorer - Windows What kind of treatment can there be? Some anti-virus, just standing system for determining the type - drive. And if this DVD is simply proposed to remove an infected disk from the drive and all. So I propose to make the automatic determination of parameters of the disc (cd-dvd, virtual disc, virtual hdd). And do not confuse people - diverting obscure manipulation reboot.
Nod 32 can not remove a real-time locked files... And situation when some virus files can somehow blocked completely is normal. Is it so difficult to understand how to operate a program like Unlocker? In my opinion, for programmers ESET it's just a daunting task ...
