App Review Eset Smart Security Premium

[SpiderWeb]

What is your opinion on Chrome coming with ESET built in?

Google Chrome Cleanup. Now powered by ESET

Google Chrome Cleanup uses ESET technology to identify and eradicate suspicious or unwanted programs on your Windows computer.

ESET is arguably the best AV and the only one I would install (again). Zero trackers, no selling your data, machine code makes it super light and fast. Only downside is the UI and the business model. It makes no sense lol. Of course everyone wants Smart Premium. The regular AV or Premium are not worth the money.

I honestly cannot say on this one simply because not once I had to ESET detecting PUAs in my systems, even my son's one.
Last time I tested PUAs detection and removal was a few months back and it worked as expected.

But thats talking specifically within ESET
now applying such technology to a browser, I am not sure. I do hope it will work fine with barely any false positives. I do wonder what will happen when there are false positives, how do chrome users report it.

Is Chrome with ESET a pay add-on? First I've heard of it since I came out of my cave this morning?

If Google's Chrome Cleanup doesn't really have any impact on PC's performance, than Google should be praised for the move. Some time ago I used Malwarebytes as my second opinion scanner, but I dropped it once that I found Eset's Online scanner. In my opinion, ESET's scanner is really good in identifying PUA's, and gives no particular problems of false positives. Since ESET is one of the AVs with the smallest amount of false positives, Google's add on could represent a good solution for those that want a reliable second opinion on their AV's PUA findings.

no selling your data

That we don't know. and i am pretty sure you don't know too, unless you are their CEO or something then let us know!
this business with users data is going to be always a thing and we cannot be never ever sure that which one is trusted so if anyone care about this matter still in 2020, should use an AV made in their own country.

ESET is a great product great company and ofc one of the best i remember i had a friend used to do some hacking stuff and the only AV he used to trust was ESET not sure why never asked but there has to be something that ESET is ESET for years now..

True. That was an assumption from me based on this:

Are Anti-Malware products Uploading Your Private Data?

Given that you’re reading this on IVPN’s website, you probably care about online privacy. And you probably use VPN services to hide your online activity from ISPs. That’s prudent, because ISPs clearly spy on their customers.

www.ivpn.net

And Exodus saying that there are no trackers in ESET for Android at least unlike many other AVs. If ESET sells your data then they must be using in-house tools but I'm going on a limb and say they don't because reputation matters to them.

Question - ESET - Recommended Settings

Hello! I would like to know from you more experienced than me, if this configuration I made on my ESET is good? From what I tested it is very automated, blocking and deleting infected files. I thought about putting photos, but there would be a lot of photos, so I thought it was better to...

Just installed ESET IS on two Pc's - Nod32 was maybe the first AV I ever bought when I were just a lad in short trousers - From my point of view trustable, they really need to get rid of the android, & the firewall could be easier to configure but nowts perfect

Embrace the goofy android. They’re your friend, they just want to protect you.

Do you know about this? What is your opinion on this?

Oh Eset <3

ESET, I was a user of Smart Security / Internet Security since 2008.
I've always loved it for its lightness, its detection ability which is just insane, and one of the few to block LPIs and RATs!

The only problem I have with it is its HIPS. It is too light for me.
By default, ESET will only protect its files and modules. But in case of unknown malware, ESET will let it pass...

Some users have created configuration files to overcome this problem, or use Voodooshield too.

For the moment I am with F-Secure which is very good, see if I go back to ESET once my license is finished

 

[czesetfan]

Follow the thread: forum.eset.com/../hips-serious-problem/
Looks like a problem indeed.

 

[czesetfan]

It seems that due to a work method/error (?) it is actually non-functional to protect files from being changed in the "protected" folder. Implementation instructions here:
Implement Protected Folders via HIPS

Just rename the directory and the protection is broken.

The moderator says that a separate protection rule needs to be created for each parent folder.

You cannot use \* at the end of the path. That's why I wrote:

You must create another similar rule for the folder itself, with the target path set exactly to
D:\frog

ESET's "official" instructions (2/2020) for creating a HIPS rule to protect a folder: hips-configuration

Can anyone verify this? How is it then?
