Installed on laptop and you need to update it immediately, there are 6 updates it will go through. Looks good!

 

Can this be installed over .621? If not and previous version should be removed can the ESS settings from .621 be imported?

 

Does this fix the phantom rule problem? Thanks!

 

Best new version fast no freeze advanced setup add or exclusions options


+1 point Eset

 

Great release well done eset perfect

 

Working great here, ended up uninstalling the 621 version and installed 642, imported settings from 621.

@BlindSight - don't know for sure but did not see the 'Phantom Rule' or 'New Rule' problem when installing 642 on any of my three PCs. Did see it on the 621 version when a fresh install was done on my Vista PC. Time will tell.

This fix may have corrected the problem '- Fixed problem with spurious firewall rule creation'.

Kudos to the gang at Eset, thanks a million!

 

Yes, it can. Just choose "keep current settings" and wait for it to finish. Don't even have to reboot! ;-)

 

Downloding it

 

Yep it worked right for me. Plus the "View workgroup computers" link is fixed.

 

Despite my pain in the butt comment the new release has been super fast accross the board for me, especially internet

 

BUG: A big space separates the "Address has been blocked" and "Do not display" - fixed

 

Thanks nice fixes

 

very nice update , this is the product the way it should of been released in Nov. It looks very good on vista & everything works as advertised, good job...

 

Will we receive this new build along with the daily updates, or must we go to the website and intentionally download it?

 

You'll need to download and install it. As long as you have your username and password Downloading it will be no problem. I installed it right over the previous version with no problem at all. It kept all my settings intact.

 

Thanks Stuey, I'll do that this evening when I get home from work.

 

still working smoothly here (update X.621 -> X.642)

cheers!

 

bought an ESS license a few months ago but not had bottle to install untill I read this thread. Had decided to stick with AV 2.7. Just installed it tho on a new Vista machine and everything seems great.

Just updated mine, too....painless process. It installs over the previous version....takes about 4 minutes....good work....thanks a lot...

 

Just upgraded...install went fine and no problems so far. It did fix the Outlook Express "account info" issue. Thanks Eset!

 

No probs here too (Vista 32-bit). Thanks Eset. Keep up the good work.

 

The new version works like a charm!!!

Keep up the good work...

 

Very pleased with this release, works great , especially I like the quick start-up of the program when booting the computer
Thanks very much!

 

I don't know if it's the new build of Eset smart Security but my Windows Vista x64 have strange bugs since I installed build 642.
