Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 Insure that all aspects of the UI are easily accessible via standard Windows keyboard commands. This would improve usability for many, including those who cannot work with a mouse, or those using screen readers. Nod32 has typically done well in this area. Version 2.7 was excellent, especially when the custom GUI was disabled; However, there are aspects of the version 3 UI which could use some work. For example, one instance which is really annoying me at the moment: I am getting a balloon asking for approval to submit some suspicious files. Apparently, the only way to open this approval window is by mouse clicking said balloon. I don't use a mouse, I can't click the Balloon, and as far as I can tell, I can't prevent it from repeatedly popping up.
Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 * Allow a "Max CPU" limit to be set, so that the product doesn't hog the CPU. * Provide a means by which the AV client can reread the cfg.xml file from a network share (IE, I want to be able to change the cfg file once, and have clients pick up the new settings on a reboot, etc., rather than having to run a task.) * In the RA console, index PCs by their MAC address. Renamed computers should not come up multiple times as they do now.

Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 Hello, Upon using this software in contrast to Avast, there are only a couple of things I would like to make the developers aware of. 1. It would be nice to have an audible warning to end users when a file is deemed infected or otherwise suspicious. The message/alert box is a nice feature, but as we all know in the IT industry, the end users are usually unaware that a problem exists just by looking at a message box. Plenty of times I have found that end users both residential and commercial, simply ignore these warnings, like "Warning, Virus detected" or "your subscription is expired" and continue on about their activities. Having a simple "Warning, A Virus has been found, Please select your action" with some horns, bells, or whistles would be great, as it's similar to what Avast uses, and customers all agree that it keeps them aware. Perhaps an mp3 or .wav file, or even a neat option of being able to put in your own audio file, and a check box to enable audio alerts or not. Imagine how COOL it would be if you recorded something that said "Warning, This is _Your_name_here_, A Virus Has been detected, Please leave the system as it is, and Call 555-5555 right away, Thank You" That alone would put nod32 at a serious advantage! 2. The buttons on the dialogue box when a virus is found. The last one says "leave" which in most cases, and end user assumes that "leave" means kill the virus, and be done with it. Though, that is not the case, and it lets the user carry one with the programs. Perhaps, we can have this button say "Take no action" or something easier and more direct to understand? Lot's of end users are not computer savvy, andthat is why they hire companies like mine. 3. When I went to advanced setup, and then to Web Access Protection > Web Browsers and added Mozilla Firefox 3.0, then put a check in the box next to firefox, it some how stopped all pages from loading. However if you go to Active Mode, and check off mozilla, It's fine. Whats up with that, or whats the correct way to handle that? Perhaps you can make it easier to understand, a help button maybe? Thanks A lot, and I hope you take this into serious consideration. As a former programmer, I would imagine that these 3 tasks can be rather easily implemented. EDIT: Would it be possible to implement an alternative SMTP port option, as many ISP's block outbound SMTP connection on port 25 to any other mail server besides the ISP's? Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hopefully seeing these option built in soon. Advanced Computer Group, Inc Enterprise IT Solutions 631-509-6020
Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 I would like to give some suggestions which I think a good-standard AV should also provide or deliver apart from the common and traditional feautures, whether they have been available in the current version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus. 1. Prevention is always better than cure (a) Warns users before they enter any infected websites (e.g. Site Advisory) (b) Protects users from infected websites as well as phishing websites (e.g. Deny access to the websites or disable the links to dangerous sites) (c) Protects instant messengers, for example, ICQ, MSN, and so on 2. A program should also make a full recovery to itself as well as the PC (a) With self-defense from being disabled, stopped or prevented to install itself on infected systems (b) Restores correct system settings and delivers most complete cleaning scan after removing malicious programs, for example, remove all the registry keys, shortcuts and so on left behind by the malicious programs 3. Delivers advanced protection and be always user-friendly (a) Guard behavior on one's PC and alert them for dangerous behavior (e.g. keyloggers, intrusion into process, dangerous scripts, browser exploits and so on) when necessary. In short, advanced proactive protection. (b) Easy to use and never annoys users, e.g. easy and quick installation and configuration, easy manipulation, quick updates, small update files, fast scanning speeds, the least CPU resources consumption and so on I love ESET NOD32 because of its highlights - precise detection, quick updates with small update files, fast scanning speeds and the least CPU resources consumption. I think these highlights should be always maintained in every upcoming version.
Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 I would like to give some of my views on ACG's suggestion - Gives off an alert sound on virus detection. I don't think this idea would produce the best result because some users might think that it is quite annoying or frightening if it makes a loud sharp noise. On the other hand, I agree with him on his second suggestion - Uses plain English instead of technical language for some cases. Instead of using the word Leave as an option, we can use plain English words such as Ignore and Take no action. We can also put a short but clear description next to the option. For the third suggestion, I didn't quite get what ACG was trying to say. As far as I understand, he might be trying to say that there's some options he doesn't know how to configure and asking you to try to make it simpler.
Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 Sorry if I am saying something stupid, but I would like to give my opinion on your request. I think a mouse is absolutely necessary for every PC. If all the instructions to ESET NOD32 could be easily or directly accessed by Windows keyboard commands, this would put ESET NOD32 in danger because malicious programs might be able to disable or stop ESET NOD32 easily as well. In other words, they could misuse the program with keyboard commands. So, I think this request should be carefully considered and studied. Instead, we can consider using Left, Right, Enter buttons and so on to choose an option on the balloon messages.
Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 Today, EAV incorrectly identified a password retrieval program as a virus. I understand why. It's made to recover people's passwords, a common activity for trojan viruses. But I works as an on-site computer technician, and I'm lucky if two weeks go by where I don't encounter someone who doesn't know their passwords (why the heck is it SO difficult for people to record these things in a neat, orderly fashion, and keep it somewhere you'll REMEMBER it?!) So I went to EAV's quarantine, and I restored it. Twenty seconds later, it identified it again, and put it right back IN quarantine. I had to manually add it to the exclusions list. It seems to me that when someone restores something from quarantine, they know that EAV considers it a threat, but still wants it. So why not provide the user with a prompt asking if they want to add it to the exclusions list, so that they don't have to keep restoring it, and or go into the control panel and add it manually. It would also be nice to have a check box under advanced controls to turn off the prompt, so that if you restore somethign from quarantine, it's automatically excluded from future scans.

Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 Yes!!! Or at least make it so that it offers if user wishes to install web access protection or not (in custom install, like in v2.7)
Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 I want to see an implementation of a scrolling log for threatsense, showing exactly what's being 'live' scanned, this would make it easier to spot say a log that's being over scanned due to lots of modification and exclude it. Didn't 2.7 have something similar?
Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 IMO, it's a good idea to have an audio alert upon virus detection - however, it could be designed with an enable/disable option. Righto, I'm running 2.7 I'd like to have a standalone option without other resource hogging features like Firewall, AntiSpyware, AntiSPAM, HIPS, HTTP Filtering, AntiTheft, etc. etc. I'd just wish to have a good old traditional AntiVirus which would allow me absolute customization. This kind of standalone AntiVirus could be offered to Customers along with the existing do-it-all-jack. If ESET would offer such a release in parallel with the existent do-it-all-jack, maybe different kinds of Customers would find it appealing.
Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 Network Monitory see what is going on in real time, ports application usage..
Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 1- When I ask a deep analysis, it takes about 1h30 minutes (sometimes the analysis stop during almost 10 minutes before going on), and the journal do not work very well, from time to time he is empty of almost empty. When you want to close the windows "Journal", then you must close Nod32... The smart scanning work faster (+/-30 minutes) and the journal works well. The 2.7 version was working perfectly, the duration for a deep analysis on my computer was +/-45 min. 2- Every email is accompagned with a message talking about "a decompacting problem"... I didn't had such problems with the earlier version.
Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 Concerning e-mails, the message about "a decompacting problem" appaears with Windows Mail. There is no problem with Thunderbird.
Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 There should be a bar added to the GUI showing NOD32's CPU usage. I believe that NOD32 should show off it's very low CPU usage. It should be similar to Norton Antivirus 2009 bar on the GUI.
Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 This is a feature that only bloated softwares include . No , thanks - please! NOD32 is showing its low CPU by not affecting the users' experience and working silently in the background.
Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 All greetings! There was the question! In the Internet will link to NOD32 betа 4 Here http://u40.eset.com/download/engine4test/ ---> new beta v4. How to download it to test? Or is it something else?
Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 Some of this is already included in the requested feature list, but I'd like to see some of the features included as a Vista gadget. I would like to see a configurable NOD32 gadet that can display the following information, with perhaps interactive buttons appropriate to certain functions: Scan status (and be able to pause / cancel) Current AV definition and download status when downloading (with errors reported) Infected file found alert with details (which could be used as an alternative or to supplement the normal virus alerts in the taskbar) I'm sure there are other features that could be added, but this is just a thought. I saw an indexing status gadget and thought it was really cool, and figured the same sort of thing could be done with NOD32.

Re: Future Changes to EAV 3.0 What really let's me down is the ugly looking popups for when Eset has updates its definitions or when a scan is done. They made there GUI so nice looking why can't they do it for the popups. The transparency on them make them really hard to see and it gets me confused with the Windows popups. They should make a square box come up that touches the back Vista bar and make it look like the GUI of the actual program.
