Information about other modules update

Where can I see if my heuristics engine, IMON engine, etc are up to date?

 

In the Nod32 Control Center, go to the 'Nod32 System Tools' part, 'Information' section, and in the right pane, you will be able to see the version of all these engines.

Information on other scanner support parts

Where in Eset home page can I find these informations?

 

you can't find all these informations...only the current version here: http://nod32usa.com/nod32-updates/

 

Actually it's moved on a bit now!!

2 times this week actually, but who's counting

 

Hi,

Long ago I asked for a sticky thread containing the latest info about the modules, so people could easily check it.
There never came one.
However, I have seen for quite some time update-notices, posted at the Update-forum-section by Ronjor, in which Ron not only gives info about new definitions but also with info about the other scanner support parts.
I very much do like this kind of posting !!!
It's a great idea from Ron and a very good alternative for having a sticky thread.
I definitely do want to applaud Ron for doing so; thanks Ron !!!

To give you an idea about what I'm talking about, I'll quote the first part of Ron's latest update-notice:

Highlighting in that quote was by me.

 

I've been thinking about adding it to SSE for a while now, but I'll wait till NOD32 V3 is released so I can start adding those module updates from the beginning.

I'm not even sure if such information will be available in V3, guess we'll just have to wait and see

 

Hey Brian,

I always forgot to thank you for your SSE; sorry

Thanks Brian !!!

Cheers, Jan.

 

don't you think that posting this kind of information when it's in your copy of NOD32 is incredibly redundant - or just for the incredibly lazy...

 

It's just a service (if that's the right English word).
Just like postings in Update-forum-section.

 

It gives people the chance to check all is well with their own version

 

it's a point, but has it EVER been the case that the update number has moved on, while a module has not?

 

I've been thinking some more on this - and it's a genuine question - does it ever happen that the update version moves on, and a module update fails? If so, it's a valid question to ask - what version of modules SHOULD I have on my machine at this update version level... however, it also gets complicated, as there are multiple versions: XP/98/64Bit - and if those versions update modules at different time (as I suspect they can) - then tracking that level of complexity gets quite involved, and serious - a pain to track unless you have access to that information from inside Eset - so I'm thinking that it would be a task that is BEST MANAGED by Eset.. perhaps it could come with the new website that's been imminent for months and months?
