Serious Discussion ESET v20

Would be nice if I could actually cut its logging down, all I can do now (not like in the past) is by filtering' mask its logging, with filter enabled it still logs away, its not a huge issue as I delete unwanted logs. I also have 'customer experience program' unchecked & it still sends autonomous info frequently - Today: '06/09/2026 07:33:44 AM;ESET Kernel;Anonymous statistical information was sent to ESET' There was more than one entry, Not by any means problematic, but it should not do that, love the program though.

To disable sending of anonymous statistical information, go to Settings - Cloud based protection and in Eset Live Grid section disable option Submit anonymous statistics. There, you can also disable sending of other data and files or disable feedback system entirely. Just leave reputation system enabled.

Thanks for answering idiot of the week question :):):)
 
I don't expect any big change or new feature in new version. Even if they release new security feature it will most likely be included in high tier subscription plans.
For Antivirus, the change will probably be only new version number.

These are my expectations.
I would like to see them standardize the terminology for subscription tiers and the corresponding applications.

Current:
Plans: ESET HOME Security Premium
Application: ESET Smart Security Premium

After:
Plans: ESET HOME: Security Premium
Application: ESET: Security Premium

Current:
Plans: ESET HOME Essential
Application: ESET Internet Security

After:
Plans: ESET HOME: Essential
Application: ESET: Essential

But its been on my laptop for some time, though I didn't spend much time setting it up on this PC, however I live on ;);)

And with so many settings, it's easy for it to get lost in the shuffle, let alone know it's there :) Compared to my F-Secure 😅

I would like to see more deception tech, maybe include come canary's or some thing similar to alert you when a attacker is on your box.

I have so many canary's I sometimes forget and click the wrong file, would be nice having official AV canary's.

Otherwise improved tamper protection, but honestly not much else at this stage.
