NOD32 v4

smids said:
I noticed this too. For the first time since I got ESET Smart Security, it caused a blue screen this morning (I think it was this, as I noted that the virus definition update failed, and it was the only program not functioning properly on a restart.

So I went to see if the new program would fix it - to my surprise, it installed v4 rather than v3 as I was expecting. I like the changes they've made though...

Yep, I got the same - BSOD - then red NOD32 tray icon after reboot. The problem for me was that I was in the process of trying to increase the CPU OC from 3.6 to 4GHz so I thought the BSOD was down to instability.:D
 
Hey,

I emailed Eset about this issue, but wanted to post here as well. We currently have 3 PC's running NOD32 at our house, plus a laptop running AVG. One of the PC's is due a licence upgrade this month, but I just realised it would be a lot cheaper to get the 4 computer site licence (£120 vs. £60 individually for 3 years).

Problem is that all the licences expire at different times (Mar 2009, Jan 2010, Oct 2010), so there is no way of doing this without "wasting" some subscription time. Are Eset accommodating on giving a discount in this sort of situation?

Cheers,

Suman
 
Anyone seen the firewall settings with Smart Security?

With ver 3 I could go into the settings and delete/change firewall entries for various programs. Can't find it with this version. On the main screen I have protection for Antivirus and Antispyware. :confused:

Just install the new version, no need to uninstall (although even if you do, I believe it keeps the old cfg somewhere but don't quote me on that :)).

Thanks for all the answers guys, running v4 no problem now, 3905. The new icon looks prettier as well ^_^
 
from the wilders forum..
Hello,

The final verions of ESET NOD32 Antivirus and ESET Smart Security version 4 just came out yesterday. Therefore, since they are brand new releases, there are still probably many bugs in them. If version 3 works for you, I'd recommend staying with v3 (I think I will) for a few weeks until a new build(s) is released to fix the bugs or more modules are updated to fix the bugs. Maybe someone who has experience with v4 already can better assist you in resolving your problem.

However, you could try this:

Completely remove v3 before installing v4:

* Start>All Programs>ESET>ESET NOD32 Antivirus>Uninstall.

* Delete the INFCACHE.1 file located in C:\WINDOWS\inf folder.

* Restart your computer.

* Delete the ESET folder in C:\Program Files, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ESET, and
C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Application Data\ESET

ESET's Knowledgebase article on how to remove EAV/ESS

Then download the ESET NOD32 Antivirus v4 Final installer again and try to install it. Make sure you don't have anything running in the background that could interfere with it.

Please let me know if this resolved your issue or update me if it didn't.

Regards,

Mark

I contacted ESET and they took all five of my existing home licences which expired at different times and combined them into a five user business licence.

Just gather all your individual home licence details together and contact ESET and explain what you want done and they’ll ask you to email in your all your indvidual licences and they'll work out a quote for you.

Contact them by phone here
 
NOD32 v3 (Vista 64) - ~24MB RAM
NOD32 v4 (testing on XP 32 under VMWare currently) - ~50MB RAM.

Hopefully the extra RAM usage means it'll do real time file scanning/system scans quicker :)
 
Hmm, think i'll wait before deploying it at work, hopefully they'll include a push 4v update sooner or later, will prepare package tomorrow.

Configs got any new options?
 
Was using AVG free for years before I read this post! Rushed out and got myself a copy of this program! Being new to it a few questions!
How often do you guys update the definitions? For on access scanning etc do you leave this on default?
Kinda new to this program any help is appreciated! seems to be a wise move.

Just leave NOD to update itself. Gets them pretty regularly. :)
 
Had email from Eset today about the launch, info on changes below:

Great news ! - Version 4 of ESET Smart Security and ESET NOD32 Antivirus has now been launched and is ready to be downloaded online.

The new version builds on ESET’s ThreatSense®‚ the industry’s most accurate proactive technology for detecting viruses and other malware and adds over 20 new capabilities improving malware detection‚ enhancing system diagnostics/ recovery and improving management. The latest release continues ESET’s tradition of delivering ultimate security with fast‚ transparent operation and minimal load on system memory‚ disk or CPU. ESET’s unrivalled ability to deliver industry-leading proactive malware detection and high system performance can literally extend the life of PCs and laptops while improving their security.

ESET’s new detection and diagnostic features safeguard users from deceptive forms of malware by digging deeper into the operating system files and encrypted browser traffic identifying and eliminating hidden malware threats. The latest version also includes advanced self-defence technology that protects against any malware specifically designed to disable antivirus or anti-malware solutions which would leave the user completely unprotected. Together‚ these new features enable consumers and businesses to proactively block most new malware attacks before they can compromise systems to damage or steal data.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 and ESET Smart Security 4 Business Editions also feature a full-range of management capabilities. These include support for high-end databases‚ fine-grained control of endpoint security and even greater scalability for large‚ dispersed networks. ESET Business Editions include version 3.0 of ESET’s Remote Administrator which enables businesses to remotely deploy and manage ESET software.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 and ESET Smart Security 4’s new‚ industry-first security features include:

• Advanced Archive Scanning – This new feature makes ESET’s consumer products the first to allow experienced users to fully customise scanning and ”deep dive” archive files created with popular compression formats‚ including .RAR‚ .ZIP and others. Comprehensive controls allow users to define archive scanning with scanning depth‚ maximum scan time‚ and maximum file size.

• Removable Media Access Control – Gives consumers removable media security for USB flash drives and CDs – protection previously extended only to businesses. The feature gives administrators the ability to allow or block mounting of removable media. If removable media is allowed‚ dangerous files like AUTORUN.INF are scanned for threats.

• ESET SysInspector – Newly integrated into ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 and ESET Smart Security 4‚ this powerful system diagnostics tool quickly discovers hidden/potentially dangerous rootkits without running a full antivirus scan. It can also reveal hidden changes to the operating system‚ web browser‚ registry and applications. The scan results are standardised and can be reviewed by IT personnel‚ speeding up malware analysis and removal.

• ESET SysRescue – Enables users to diagnose and recover compromised systems more easily. Customers build their own system rescue CDs‚ which can be used to clean up and repair systems compromised by malware without reimaging the system.
With ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 and ESET Smart Security 4‚ the company also adds the following additional features to further improve threat prevention‚ detection and management:

• Business-class interoperability and management – ESET includes powerful features to integrate into multi-layer security environments. Enhanced reporting‚ support for Cisco NAC‚ removable media control and improved policy authoring simplify deployment and ongoing management with improved interoperability.

• Power conservation – Already the most efficient and lightweight anti-malware products on the market‚ ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 and ESET Smart Security 4 go one step further by automatically adjusting performance on laptops to maximise battery life without compromising security.

• Improved self-defence technology – ESET software features improved defences against disabling of the antivirus system by malware or unauthorised users – among other things by restricting changes to ESET’s processes and registry entries to authenticated users.

• User-friendly interface – Numerous enhancements to the GUI make the product even easier to use. Among many enhancements‚ there is auto-disabling notifications when full-screen applications such as presentations‚ games or video are running‚ and a new non-graphical user interface that allows disabled and visually-impaired users to easily interact with the software using screen readers and other assistive technologies.

why did you focus on my line in particular? Most even write shorter comments. Franky I don't like programs that are difficult to uninstall/remove like norton or nod32.

Well why not put that in the first place then ;) (although I'm not sure many have issues uninstalling it anyway).
