Current update from ESET Administration on their forum (as of one hour ago):

"Today v12.1.31 has been released but since it's a staggered release, not all users will receive it immediately. It may take some time until the product updates to the latest version automatically.

A release announcement will be posted later today after an official release."

Added: Behavioral Monitor settings in “Advanced setup”
Added: Information about scanned files by Real-time file system protection

Is it a kind of behavior blocker?

I hope that now ESET can be compared with Kaspersky.

There are a lot of unknowns about this new behavior blocker. Does it learn rules from the cloud, for instance? It's a good step though.

I got access to that changelog via the official download page for the offline installer of the Eset Internet Security v12.1.31.0:

Hello,
Where can I find these settings ?

Hello,
Where can I find these settings ?

In the HIPS department. If you have the new version, it will be between the 5 "active HIPS", settings, and Ransomware protection. In the antivirus, it's in the "basis" settings. It's very hard to miss.

Thanks @Nightwalker
It is activated with default settings.

I think it's a little different from the EAV and the EIS. But as long you found it it's great.
Thanks Nightwalker.

I received the update to my EIS, and used this website to test its responses to test challenges:

AMTSO Security Features Check Tools - AMTSO

Is your security software running correctly? The AMTSO Security Features Check (SFC) tools verify that your security solution is properly configured and operating as expected.

www.amtso.org

Maybe not a complete test but a place to start. For me, it passed all of the website's tests.

Glad to see ESET going in the right direction and listening to user feedback about implementing a BB. Although it's too early to test the effectiveness of the BB.

Would be interesting to test the Behavioral Monitor here in MH...

+1
