Maybe, ESET should produce utility, which would have tested the system on the ability to install an antivirus program: stopped Service Windows Installer - try to start it, is there a known registry keys, blocking the launch egui, ekrn, blocking the update antivirus bases - offer to remove/repair them... (The cases do not start egui, abnormal installation of antivirus, non ability to update bases are quite common on already infected PC) Yes, such a program is needed - but it should be built into the first external installation package with the extension / exe. And after the test and attempts to normalize services start to launch a second package NOD32/msi. And, of course! This utility must constantly evolve and get better! Regards
See the AV-Comparatives year report: make it easier for novice users to setup a scheduled scan (not having to enter Advanced settings). I think that would indeed be a good addition for novice users, since the whole user interface is already great in usability, just missing this option. Concering myself: I personally don't have anything to request anymore. Since it will be too late to implement major new features for ESET version 5. What I do hope is that you will give an option during the installation to not install the Parental Control which will most likely be included in Smart Security 5. What the major new feature regarding detection/protection will be is just guessing (behavior-based and/or reputation-based?), as long as it ain't HIPS-like it is fine to me. Everyone knows the viewpoint of ESET regarding releasing information about the upcoming version (i.e. not releasing anything) by now. Which I think is a big shame, but I can't change that.
An option for advanced users to set heuristics detection's(and possible behavioural detection in v5) sensitivity to high for more security in exchange for some possible FP's would be nice.
Revolutionize ThreatSense.NET such that it could also function like a behaviour blocker. (Similar to the functions of Threatfire and Mamutu)
I get a TON of spam emails with non-English characters in the sender and/or subject fields (such as cyrillic). An example subject line would be "Рассылки писем". ESET antispam is not catching a lot of these. It would be great if the antispam module could be configured to treat emails foreign character sets as spam.
HOST INTRUSION PREVENTION WOULD BE A HUGE IMPROVEMENT.UFORTUNATELY IT IS NOT ON THE ESET AGENDA which Ultimately puts ESET on the endangered list for being renewed but rather it being replaced with something that has a sandbox feature as well as many others.
Hello, As stated at the beginning of this message thread in the very first post, the point of this message thread is to provide feedback to ESET's developers, marketers, researchers and other staff about feature requests and future product technology directions. From your feedback below, it seems you are interested in HIPS and sandbox technologies. This information will be made available to ESET's staff for future consideration . Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
hello.read the first thread it is as plain and simple as one can make it over wires and understandable.both or either technologies should be seen as an asset to Eset I would think?
Auto sandbox w/heuristic behavior analysis for unknown files with a prompt to the user in case of sandboxing known good files "False Positive". Behavior blocker would also be nice to see. Also improved UI for the firewall. As for other posters here worried about extra overhead with newer tech introduced into the product. Others have added this tech with no overhead. I will not name names since this is Eset's forum.
- Option to set Heuristic sensitivity to High for advanced users to trade a few FP's for better detection. - Option in the firewall to allow processes based on services. For example not svchost.exe on that and that port. But that you can say, allow svchost.exe only for windows time and windows update and block all other svchost.exe requests - When creating a SysRescue disk, include the current virus database in the image so that it is possible to use SysRescue on a PC without a wired or compatible wireless internet connection. - Add option in exclusion to exlude files accessed by a specific process, for example mbam.exe so Eset doesn't scan all files mbam accesses when doing a full scan.
- Option to set Heuristic sensitivity to High for advanced users to trade a few FP's for better detection. Where can I find this option? I don't see it in Advanced setup.
To clarify, I really mean sensitivity, so no deeper scanning or Advanced Heuristics, but lowering the threshold that is needed before a file is flagged by Heuristics.
I would like to have more control in the selective scanning, be able to decide which folders will be scanned or not. Example: I want to scan drive C but i want to exclude certain folders that are in the Program Files folder. In old versions of AV software you could do that by simply checking/unchecking boxes. In new versions the file/folder browser is very basic so you cant do that anymore.
Hello, Please, make the ability to kill an process (like process explorer) in Sysinpector. If the malware process run, is very difficult for the script service to kill them. Vigen.
Because lots of users come here with an infection that Eset couldn't automatically remove, but a removal tool from Eset can, I think it's a good idea to integrate them, like Norton 2012 for example: This would lighten the number of users in need of support and like the quote says also improve security for unaware users.
The ability to schedule a system scan (via policy) on a monthly rather than weekly basis. Date spacific or day of week number. Thanks MarkyB

I'm one of ESS big fan , and I have a little idea; When using ESET Rescue CD (with latest update of course), sometimes ESS detect a malware (ex; Ramnit A or H variant), but ESS cannot just delete the file (%systemroot%\program files\microsoft\watermark.exe). ESS give us choice (Clean,Delete,Quarantine),.. I wonder why? Why doesn't ESS just delete the file (watermark.exe)? The same question is what happen to Virut.NCS virus... Is there any reason(s)? Great Thank's
It is interesting how "Safe Zone" in Avast. He opens a single desktop computer is infected and whether there will be no data theft by safely navigate in this mode "Safe Zone". Could count on detailed options for parental control and file encryption.
