Smart Security Beta 2 Bug Reports

I am running beta 2 on my Desktop and Laptop, both have Vista Ultimate.
Beta 2 kills Windows Mail, as soon as Windows Mail launches the 'Program Has Stopped Working' window appears.
Beta's 1a, 1b, had no problem.
Is anyone else experiencing this ?

I am having the same problem with Outlook 2003 since installing the new beta. My solution is to temporarily turn off e-mail protection in anti-virus protection.

This is on Vista Home Premium.

 

Massive DPC (deferred procedure call) CPU 'usage' with ESS Beta 2 while utorrent downloads at 600+ kbytes/s. Confirmed with Process Explorer.

With utorrent stopped, DPC returns to normal.

With ESS uninstalled and utorrent running DPC remains normal.

RATTV3 Log attached.

ESS uninstalled.

 

was extra thread, but ..

Can anyone from eset tell us something about this startupdelay??

I noticed on beta 2 that it is stopping me shutting down- I have uninstalled and I shut down as normal. Anybody else have this problem. I use Vista Home premium

 

There's still an bug here. After updating the database to 2.286 it counts up itself. So far so good, but the counter at On Demand Scan shows still the database, for example here, 2.284.

 

every time I disable the splash screen at start up it won't set itself after I hit okay, I can go back in right away and it's checked again. The splash screen is also making my system hang a bit at start up like it did before but never hung when it was disabled.

Edit: On XP sp3 with ESS Beta 2

 

Hi folks,

I've got two new bugs:

- Setup, Personal Firewall, Advanced Personal firewall setup, Connection View, check/uncheck any option --> the changes are not saved.

- Setup, Personal, Switch to Interactive filtering, Configure rules and zones, right click, select full path --> Eset crash.

- Windows Firewall Console: it believe that the PC is not protected and it recommend turn on the Windows Firewall.

Platform tests:
Windows Vista Ultimate x64
Intel Corel 2 Duo
2GB RAM

Nice product, best regards.

Guys - I know that this is the official beta bug thread, but ist getting messier all the time.

Xp Users
Vista Users

Different bugs and errors - is that really the way to go. Even for ESET moderators having to wade thru all the different situations and problems seems tough for me.

I suggest
1. Post errors that are conected into seperate posts like f.example:
startup hangs
firewall problems
.....
2. Please Start the thread with ESS and you OS - ESSXP Or ESSVista
3. If it concerns AV only - use EAV + OS

Today when i started my PC the ESS beta 2 and the network connections failed to start and to show in the sytem tray but i solve the problem with a system restart.

 

Have you tried to play a little bit with your other start-up applications , it could be some kind of incompatibility between EA and other application (e.g. firewall or other security software) . You can use AutoRuns from Microsoft (in Hide Microsoft entries mode) to disable a few things and see how it is after that . Then start enabling them one by one , followed by a reboot to see if something causes this delay .

You can also try to reconfigure the Start-up scan settings in the Scheduler to lower the priority to "when idle" or disable temporary AH/R-T P in the Antivirus protection (not the Real-time file system) to see what happens

Disable the splash screen to see if it makes a difference

Things like that ... just try

 

hm, ok I can try, but its wierd - don't seem to be the only one, and never saw this problem before. No other new security software installed

scheduler can be excluded, cause it does that only once every 24 hs, and get the delay always - or do I under that option wrong? (userlogon)

I did a bootlog with regrunPlatinum (great app by the way)

Noticed the same here. It was not so with beta 1b

 

Yes it happened to me today as well, hope ESET fix this problem.

Cheers SweX.
