The previous thread for version 15 is here:

This part I don't want:

I haven't yet looked whether it can be disabled.

 

Eset Forum announcement:

It should be possible to disable the application status in the Application statuses setup. However, v16.0 is the latest which will run on the said old Windows operating systems because of signing requirements set by Microsoft.

 

Thank you Marcos for letting us know. Appreciated!

 

Is there maybe a list which processors are supported?

I have an old Intel i5-4570

 

Has NOD32 been renamed to Essential security? I hate that word so much (Essential), makes it sound like it can barely do the job. Whoever did that in ESETs marketing should be fired.

 

Nope. Still Antivirus and Internet Security.

 

I've been really pleased with 16. No issues, no false positives.

 

Yup same here. It has been running smoothly.

 

Hide the Outdated operating system notification and continue using Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 (not recommended)

If you continue to use Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 after support has ended, your PC will still work, but it may become more vulnerable to security risks and viruses. Your PC will no longer receive Windows updates (including security updates). To disable the notification:

1.Open the main program window > Setup > Advanced setup (F5) > Notifications, and click Edit next to Application statuses.

2.In the General group, deselect the check box next to Your operating system is outdated. Click OK > OK.

** Worked for me!

 

Indeed...further to getting both my systems updated v16 does seem to be running 'smooth as a nut'...and I am really, really loving the subtle but might chnages to the GUI...has brought ESET right up to date...kudos.

 

I didn't find a list but here is link to Eset forum post describing how you can check if your processor supports it: https://forum.eset.com/topic/33719-...-of-version-16/?do=findComment&comment=157530

Edit: here is a KB link: https://support.eset.com/en/kb8336-intel-threat-detection-technology-tdt-supported-processors

 

Thank you! (I had to do other things and still have to have a closer look at the new version)

 

Thank you! Will have a look there.

Edit:
I just saw your edit for kb article https://support.eset.com/en/kb8336-intel-threat-detection-technology-tdt-supported-processors
Thanks again!

 

I'm wondering whether there is some inconsistency by Microsoft ...

We had a recent post here.
That post points to an article from 15 July 2022 here:
Microsoft intends to extend paid support for Windows 7 until 2026
https://winaero.com/microsoft-intends-to-extend-paid-support-for-windows-7-until-2026/

I don't know whether that is true. But if it is true, then why the signing requirements from Microsoft before the new date in January 2026?

 

Worked here as well. Thanks ✌️

 

Intel 10th gen 10XXX processors and later.

 

That's good. That's what I have. I'm not sure how I feel about being on the bottom end of the list with a 2 year old very expensive laptop.

 

What is weird is I have a 9th gen and mine is on and enabled. I could have sworn Marcos said it would not be visible if your processor is not support. Anyone know by chance?

 

That's correct. What output do you get when you run this PowerShell cmdlet?
get-wmiobject win32_processor

 

Here you go.

 

You have the same as I. And it's supported. Here is a list of processors that are currently supported:
https://support.eset.com/en/kb8336-intel-threat-detection-technology-tdt-supported-processors

 

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700T CPU @ 2.00GHz 1.99 GHz

I have support enabled.
