NOD32 version 3, what's the rush?

It's no version 3 picture, it is the recent NOD32 Remote Administrator.

 

Hehe, "Triglav" is the highest mountain in our country. Along with insurrance company with the same name

I wonder where they got this picture

 

1. Start NOD Remote Administrator
2. Click the "Remote Install" tab at the bottom of the screen
3. Click the "Packages" button to the right of the screen
4. Select "Default" from the "Name" dropdown
5. Arrange and rescale the screen to (somewhat) match the original picture
6. Click the "Show me the command line options" link
7. Screenshot and post

HTH... ;-)

P.S. Use WinXP to make it look pretty. I used 2000.

 

No, i meant the word "Triglav". The screenie must be from my country...
Or is out there the same word heh?

 

Hi Marcelo.

I understand what you saying.
I said I wouldn't comment about version 3, since there are a lot of gossip around.I'm going say something about version 3, when and if I have it in my hands.I don't care if there's a screenshot of it, etc.
My license will expire in july and I can wait until there, but I think you should try something else too. I'm testing KIS since october.

Best Regards,

DonKid.

 

Well someone who's interested in renewal or going with NOD32 for the first time is nice to see whats coming next so you decide easier. Not that you extend the license and later find out it's not working anymore as you like or the interface doesn't fit to your preferences etc.

 

They're probably not releasing details on Wilders because of how people tend to act around here when they do. In the past they've released this kind of information, and people end up hounding them relentlessly, demanding the next bit of information because "it's vital to the decision making process" (among other things, and even when the info was posted with the disclaimer that no other info would be provided). CeBit is a bit different, they're not there every day, and people go there to get what info they can (about every product) and then go home. Personally I don't think I would post that info either (something about not subjecting yourself to things you don't need to).

One thing I've learned over the years is that you should never buy a product for what's coming, because you will usually be disappointed (either it won't arrive on time or it won't live up to what you imagined it to be). Buy the product for what it is now, and worry about what's coming when it gets here. If you don't like it when it comes, you could still use v2.5 until your license expires.

 

Well aren't you just a buzzkill. I happen to want NOD to release version 3 info. I'm glad not everyone has your attitude.

 

Nail, meet hammer.

Not to mention stating the "features list" before beta, then finding out a "feature" doesn't work well/at all/causes major issues during/before beta.

Then at release, it's "Where is this nifty 'feature' ESET 'promised' me?!? THEY SAID it would be in there!! I purchased a license with that expectation!!! WAAHH!!"

 

Hey,

no. It's that what the window title says (part of 2.5 series..)

That wasn't meant to be personal in any way towards anyone or everyone. This has been an issue in this forum for some time, and when you look back at how people have acted, it would simply make sense for them to back off from making mention of upcoming versions. Marcos let slip some suggestion about an approximate release of version 2.5 beta, and the kind of situation I described in my last post was exactly what happened, even despite the disclaimer that he couldn't give any further information or definite dates, and that it was not official.. just a personal mention as a favor, of sorts. Then when it didn't come at the time he approximated, people started in with "But you said!!", sometimes even getting angry.

You can see this was brought up in the past:

Regarding not buying things for their upcoming versions, that's from personal experience after learning the hard way. I've had a lot of software that promised great things in the next versions, and either they didn't come, didn't come anywhere near when expected (that's very common in the software world, things happen), or a feature that got me really excited turned out to be less fantastic than I had imagined. As was also previously pointed out in this thread, why would you want to tell your competitors what you're up to? If you do that, they could throw the same thing out there before you get a chance (not uncommon). Even besides that, sometimes there will be planned features that don't make it in to the final product because it turned out to need a lot more work than anticipated, and so they leave it out until they can finish that part without holding up the rest of the product. When it comes down to it, there are just a lot of factors in the software business that can complicate these things more than you might think. That doesn't make them insensitive to their customers, it's just that they have a business to run as well, and the software business can be a very different creature at times.

 

FYI, competitors generally can get a hold of a product in either alpha or beta pretty easily... the whole super duper top secret vault concept is more like a leaky sieve. Just the way things work, happened when I worked in software and internet, happens in the medical device industry.

 

You are wrong

 

Don't say you have Triglav in Slovakia too

 

Triglav means Triple glowing AV

 

i usuarally hope to use the latest version.
but i don't use the trail version

 

It doesn't matter if its coming or not.. as long they hear us and implement those features in the thread located at the top of this forum!

Hope their release date is before July because that's when my license expire and maybe I might get another AV (if its better than nod in price and features but probably not lol)

 

Yes, we do

 

Hi. I check in here occasionally for news of "updates" (too often it seems).
I haven't posted before, just an observer. And everyone seems nice.
My account runs out at the end of the month and ordinarily would have just renewed it. This year however I think is a bit different. By this time next year Vista will be out, hopefully , This means a two year licence might be out of the question. Things like "does Vista even need an anti virus" come to mind and if so and I get myself a new computer to run it; will that be as soon as the time my NOD licence runs out. Will that hold me back from upgrading if I have months left on a licence and ESET has no Vista AV. Or even specific dates on a completed AV!
Anyway the point I am beating about the bush about here is that, I want info. I am a customer and it's not unreasonable to see some kind of road map or future update plans. If I am required to lay down long term money. I see very little about what’s happening other than random "what’s up about V3?" etc.etc.threads on here. Many software companies have found it very useful having very long ALPHA, BETA, RC consumer testing pipelines. Even with the Norton.... products they have a new one every year like clockwork. Some news is all I am asking; some FUTURE product features, changes, platform changes, other than the random "we won another award" email.
Am I asking too much here? The number of UI changes needed or fixes (not bugs, works fine – just desperately needed usability updates) for various things I notice which could be implemented. NOD32 will have to ramp up if they want to be running protection for me in the next year or two. They will really have pull something out of the bag for Vista as they might be obsolete with that locked down kernel and better user privilege control. People like us NOD users tend to be the type of person who doesn't click on stupid things. I think I have only had only 2 or 3 ACTUAL virus warnings in the past year and never had a virus do anything to my systems EVER. In vista, a bit of vigilance and not clicking “yes” in every dialogue box might be all that’s needed.
huh. I was rambling a lot there.
Ah well I’ll do it some more. With NOD32 having no public deadlines for updates (everyone does this when they have no deadline for something) they don’t have something to aim at, knuckle down for, or put themselves in the firing line of criticism with when they miss.

Bottom line: I want Info of where you’re going ESET. And from this thread, It looks like I am not the only one.

Additional: If you’re a regular on this forum, a long timer NOD32ist then it’s natural that it wouldn’t matter to you when there is no V3, or any other, news. It makes no difference to you either way. But I still think you would, in some way, agree with what I have said. Maybe

 

I never get jazzed up over such things. Current version is performing well for me so take your time Eset geting it right.

+1

Almost all companies wait with releasing info untill first beta is released. ESET has not released a beta of V3 as of yet. So, the game is called wait and see . If you can not find it in yourself to wait, switch to another vendor.

 

of course we should wait because as soon as they have some info they'll post it here. But first I think the beta. As ESET Mods stated the new version is been "cooked" in the Software Development department, and they are working in other areas: Support, Malware analisys, etc so don't expect from them too much about this issue.

I would have preffer ESET wouldn't have said anything about v.3 because some users simply can't wait ....go and play outside some football, basket-ball, play PC games or make something useful.
V.3 will probably have a special forum and when it's ready it will be here. Hundreds of posts about this won't hurry ESET to say some extra info, it will just make some more garbage here on this forum.

That's all I had to say.

 

Well I have cerebral paulsy, so that imight be kind of hard...better give me v3 instead.

 

Well, I'm just a measely home user, and I want to know what's coming up...even though I can afford it, I can't justify buying licenses for multiple AV's, so my buying decision is strongly influenced by a product's feature-set. I'm not gonna cry & say I'll take my ball & go home if Eset doesn't clue us in soon, BUT, if nothing more is known w/in the next 45 days, it'll at least make it hard for me to not switch to something like Kaspersky which has been in public beta for some time........
