Well, the way ESET people were treated by the M0nk dude wasn't quite mature either. Indeed, it seemed more appropriate for a banstick-happy IRC op...
I agree that bluetack guys are being arrogant but consider this: people who use Peer Guardian aren't the type of users who wouldn't notice it's...
PG is now detected as a potentially unwanted application and quarantined.
Re: Future Changes to ESS 3.0 After-execution behaviour analysis. By that I mean some basic HIPS, without code injection or process launch...
Indeed, gratitudes to the developers. That feels a lot safer now. Thanks for the heads up. :)
I believe port 995 accepts encrypted mail connections which makes it impossible for antivirus to scan the content upon receiving...
I have Threatfire, and honestly, beside the very quick download and installation procedure, there's no other hassle involved. The program is quiet...
ESS doesn't block a BAT file containing the commands to disable ESS, however unlikely it is that you'd ever encounter such a file on the internet...
It just remembers the file hash and compares it upon execution. When the file has changed, it asks if you want to allow it. If it's been changed...
They've probably been working on 3.0.566 since the previous one was released, they didn't even consider fixing the kernel protection issue until...
Your assumption is unsupported by evidence. I believe that malware disabling security may cause way more serious problems. I hope that you will...
Well, it is supposed to restart automatically. If it didn't, it means the service hung and couldn't restart, you can check your even viewer for...
I agree that there may be a way to disable any defence, but two lines in the command prompt? Please... I'm trying BitDefender 2008 right now. The...
It's not a secret that you can kill ekrn.exe, but it's an NT service and it's set to restart automatically, so no loss of protection, although I'd...
I cannot confirm that. I created a limited user account and another power user account for the purpose of testing (Windows XP). Ekrn.exe can't be...
You realize that if ESS can be disabled without getting infected with anything, you can't prevent anything bad from getting in afterwards? Like...
I don't think a support ticket is necessary, this is not a bug. It's just a design flaw which should be addressed as soon as possible.
That is an entirely different subject, and you're right. But the fact is that other security solutions with a solid self-protection can't be...
Here's a proof of concept - takes just two simple commands in a .bat file to disable completely ESS: ren...
I confirm this on Windows XP SP2. It's possible to rename ekrn.exe and then stop the process. All protection is gone then, and while HTTP and...
I agree as well. It's ridiculous, how long can it take to update the files on the file server? It's just moving a file from one folder to another,...
I agree, a whitelist would be nice.
My impression so far is that ESS firewall is effective and comprehensive. It's been a while since I last used Sygate but I wouldn't go back to it,...
Rules cannot be created automatically unless there's a whitelist.
Guys, at least install the program and see what it does before you discuss what would have been nice. It's already there in interactive mode....
