Serious Discussion TuxTalk - Eset Smart Security Premium Thread

[piquiteco]

?

It's because the members of that thread were discussing ESET's "Ransomware Remediation," a feature that ESET has to protect against ransomware, and whether it was available in another version, such as Premium. When I saw the name Ransomware Remediation, I remembered you, because I know the username is @RansomwareRemediation. I keep the names of the people I talk to and told them why you keep discussing it, call @RansomwareRemediation, you need to hire this feature with him, that's what I said. No, I didn't do it to make fun of or mock your username. It's because I remembered Ransomware Remediation and associated it with their discussion. I apologize if I offended you by using your username as a reference. It was not my intention. I will delete the post I made without any problem. Maybe I don't have as much common sense as @Parkinsond.

Avast is much better than Eset. And even more so now that they are Gen G.

Since when is Gen G better than ESET? In terms of selling user data, integrating crypto mining into the product, or the amount of ADS in the product?

Look at real-world tests, youtubers, av comparatives, and all the companies that analyze antivirus. In ALL, Avast beats Eset. You have to inform yourself a little. I have Avast Premium Security installed and I have not received a single advertising alert, I don't know what you are talking about. Even with Bitdefender, I was getting alerts from time to time.

It isn't common sense, just "procrastination"

I'm talking about Gen G which owns Norton, where we see ads in paid versions of the product. One example is App Review - Shadowra's Big Comparative : Episode 2 - Paid Antivirus

Personally, I’d be curious to know how you determined that ESET is weak in its default settings. Did you actually test it yourself, or are you relying on the tests posted here?

My personal testing, testings from the HUB, and video-reviews.

And I'm not talking about deep & complex exploits that bypass ESET's defense mechanisms or anything like it. Plain execution of old and "zero-day" malware (which I place in quotation marks since I haven't seen true decent zero-days in a while, and the zero-days that used to be posted in the Hub weren't as recent as they should be). Just a double-click, Autoruns, Process Explorer and a few other tools. As for the malware execution tests I did a couple of years back, 95% of the samples that were in fact detected were detected by signatures. Where the static detection failed, behavioural analysis used to fail too. That's why I dropped it. And I'm not a hater, I used to be a huge fan, even made some configuration threads to squeeze ESET's maximum protection capabilities, including several HIPS rules. But I won't make any claims as for the present product, since it's been at least a couple of years since I lastly tried their products.

Yes, but it was my mistake. If he were here, maybe it wouldn't be a problem. BTW, some people don't like certain types of jokes. So we need to respect that.

I was going to tell you it was just a joke and apologize to my colleagues and @TuxTalk. Now I'll have to explain it to @RansomwareRemediation, and I'm the one who's going to get punished, not COMODO.

All good and I know it was a joke. I'm cool and easy going. Not a biggie..

Jokes aside, that is the turth; I do not get infected because I do not perform anything.

That's what should have happened in the CIS thread. The person made a mistake, made a personal attack or a bad joke, admits it, apologizes, agrees that the person is wrong, and everything ends peacefully. That's what I'm doing now. Otherwise, I'll end up being the villain here.

Fortunately I have no previous experience with Comodo; this protected me from indulging the combat.

Best thing you did. It seems to me that a member ended up being banned. After I logged in, the thread was closed, but I didn't participate in that thread, I just followed it from the outside. All I know is that it was very polarized and it was impossible to know where the confusion started. It's very

I don't like you to feel sad; you are such a kind person.

To confirm, you reproduced a live scenario, running the true route of infection, applied custom HIPS and firewall rules, and the malware nevertheless evaded all defenses?

Eset improved alot, with LiveGuard now ( in the premium versions )

 

[TuxTalk]

That's past. Not present. Avast is a different company now.
They are Broadcom (Gen G).

They are not Broadcom... how do you come up with this.

 

[piquiteco]

Yes, I said in relation to the discussion of that product, so to speak, there's no need to fight over the product. If the product is bad, it's bad, it has vulnerabilities, accept it and move on, understand? @Andy Ful and @Divergent are very patient, I wouldn't have the patience, certain things I saw members saying, but as far as I know, they didn't fall for the provocation. I'm going to stop here because this topic is about Eset Smart Security Premium, created by @TuxTalk. I'm polluting his topic. Guys, @Parkinsond, don't worry, I'm not sad, relax.

 

[RansomwareRemediation]

No son Broadcom...¿cómo se te ocurre esto?

?

 

[Kongo]

?

First: It's Gen D and not Gen G (Gen Digital)

Second: Gen D has nothing to do with Broadcom.

Dunno whats wrong with you but i speak English.
