A more precise description of the functioning and expected future of Folder Guard: Effectiveness of Folder Guard Function in ESET Smart Security Premium
"ESET Folder Guard improves file and data security. It prevents malware and untrusted applications from accessing protected folders. "

I've been thinking. Maybe there is a benefit to adding browser data folders to protected folders? If it can prevent access - it could be beneficial to protect data in browsers (not supported by Eset). :unsure:

If it allows the browser to still access that folder then it would be very beneficial
Assuming it would actually stop copying of that data

Thank you for this link. I was under impression that Folder Guard only extents HIPS usage and makes it easier to set access rights to specific folders. I thought that user still has to create rules for all apps that should have access to protected data. I'm glad that this is not a case and that they decided to use their cloud whitelist. This will make this new feature much easier to use.

I hope that in future they will add new operation mode in HIPS and Firewall module which would also check cloud status of application and alert only about applications that are not whitelisted in the cloud.

Probably you did not click to update it. Automatic update takes place some time after the release. Anyways, v18.0.11 is fine for all users but those who schedule a task to be run at a specific time. ESET Internet Security not updated to the lastest version

They probably added italics to the Catalan language.

Is there any reason to install the Home Security Essentials version instead of Internet Security v18.0.12.0? I'm not clear on any differences. TIA

In Intenet Security there is no Live Guard available.
From their forum: "ESET LiveGuard is a premium feature with substantial extra costs for ESET for cloud services. Therefore it is available only in ESET Security Premium and ESET Security Ultimate." Since Internet Security corresponds to Security Essentials LiveGuard is not included.

trust me if checkpoint zone alarm has cloud emulation then ESET shouldn't have an issue giving their paid customers the basic non advanced liveguard anyway they should add liveguard advanced to ultimate


How detection layers work | ESET LiveGuard Advanced (the regular liveguard has only some of these layers probably around level 2 )

I am trying Eset_smart_security_premium, and the first thing that surprised me was that Eset would delete Wise Care 365 and Do Your Data Recovery. This has never happened with any of the other antivirus programs I have testet, and not with NPE and KVRT. But When I tested it with VirusTotal, Eset was the only one it saw Wise Care 365 as a virus, and Do Your Data Recovery there was 2 other:unsure:

What was the exact detection it's probably pup , risk or something like that as it shows risky reputation but when i open it it works without any detection so maybe its your config that is aggressive
