I remember after your eset vs ransomware video a few years ago you were told that shutting off real time protection also turns off the hips even though there is nothing telling you that... maybe the same happened now

@brandonrichuski7759 11 күн бұрын

Can you do another video with real time protection on an hips to? I know ESET has gone downhill with it's dumb 3 levels instead of products etc but I think its good not as good but still good. Should I delete ESET sadly just renewed for year for 3 systems and its complete garbage????! But yes if you don't have real time protection enabled obviously HUGE difference but ugh please help :(

@@brandonrichuski7759 A) Testing on known ransomware with full protection on is pointless, the databases will just pick them up, there is essentially no difference between security products in terms of known malware (unless they missed it from the database or something doesn't function and they fail to block the threat), this is why he tried (and failed due to not knowing how the product works) to only test the behavioral defences, to see how would it do against unknown malware. B) It's not complete garbage, the test only turned invalid *after* he turned off real time protection, you're still better off with eset than windows defender C) Why are you asking this under my comment? I'm not Leo and he won't get notified of it, since it's under my comment and not his video. Also your comment has nothing to do with mine, so people who would answer your questions wouldn't even get to see it since they won't be looking at responses to my comment since it is not related to your response in any way.

@Solinaru Ай бұрын

Been on ESET for almost 20 years now (back in the NOD32 days!) the HIPS failure was unfortunate, but its great to see that it had a near perfect blocking/catching rate on known attacks. One thing i really enjoy about ESET and why i usually suggest it is due to the UI and simple to understand messages. From my experience, your acerage PC user gets panicked really easily by malesre bytes reporting a tracker cookie, or Norton forcing rhe user to make a choice they dont understand. Thr ESET alerts are usually informative and makes sure alert the user but not make them toss the PC and laptop out the window assuming its suddenly infected with something.

I really love that you do this. Hopefully eset takes note of the ransomware that slipped through and fixes this. I've been using eset for over a decade on every system and have always loved how effective and resource effective it was, silently protecting me in the background without a noticeable effect in processing. I'd like to continue using it if I see that eset responds accordingly.

Kaspersky is great for Turkish users kaan yazıcı hocam. They have local pricing which is like 200 TRY (6-7 usd) annually. It's laughable price, comes with premium vpn too. That's a steal for Turkish users like you and me. So ı suggest you to switch to kaspersky for their gesture of local pricing and also for being one of the best antivirus app. It's lightweight on system too. I had no problem of using it with 5300u ryzen laptop and ryzen 2600 - rx 6700 xt gaming pc of mine.

I ran the eset online scanner the other day because my norton had greyed out the "disable auto protect" functionality, not knowing why it is greyed out. While i noticed when starting up windows it is not greyed out and i could disable auto protect if i wanted but when windows is fully loaded the norton "disable auto protect" button was greyed out. So i noticed adobe installed a acrobat sync function thinking thats the issue because ive never had this problem. Ran eset online scanner and while scanning it suddenly closed but it does not in any way shows malware because i used another scanner aswell. So i think its the adobe acrobat sync exe file which ive also disabled in its startup but weirdly enough it still started

@johnnyb0001 Ай бұрын

so i ran another ESET online scan and a trend micro housecall scan today to be sure but as i thought no infected files or malware. supposadly it has to do something with either its MSI gaming app which is discontinued or the Acrobat Collaboration Synchronizer 24.2 AdobeCollabSync.exe which has been a pain in the ass by most people ive looked up, still my norton grey's out the option to disable "auto-protect" turning on silent mode and turning off silent mode did not work as someone mentioned that it could work

9:58 Actually, did anyone notice that ESET deleted the encryption file even before execution? I'm not sure whether I saw it wrongly, but if you played it in very slow motion, the alert came out before Leo put the mouse near the encryption file. I think this shows that ESET has used other methods, such as DNA detections, to identify ransomware files rather than simply relying on behavioural defences.

@Capt-Intrepid Ай бұрын

Hopefully you didn't disable modules this time making your tests invalid. Marcos, an Eset representative previously stated on a PC Security Channel video 4 years ago called ESET Internet Security vs Ransomware: "By disabling real-time protection you prevent HIPS from receiving events on the file system level and thus make HIPS and all HIPS dependent components ineffective, such as: Ransomware shield, Exploit Blocker, Advanced Memory Scanner, Deep Behavior Inspection, Advanced Machine Learning, etc." 12:10 Eset clearly states in the UI: "ESET Live Grid must be enabled for Ransomware Shield to function properly." Looks like The PC Security Channel ignored this again by disabling real-time protection which does NOT equal disabling signature-based detection. That's not the way Eset works. The PC Security Channel made the same mistake again but won't admit it.

The "modernity" of a UI is the least important thing about an anti-malware program. I for one do not give a hoot if it looks modern, but lets the system get infected. I would rather have a really old, clunky 1990s UI with very solid protection if those were my options.

@djenson Ай бұрын

A UI is how the AV informs you that it is operation correctly and if any actions are needed, and allows you to bypass if needed. It is definitely not the "least important thing" - that could fall into parts such as slap on VPN's and so called "system cleaners" From a business view, a typical hone user will also find the UI a representation of the quality of the software, so if the UI is poor, a typical user is unlikely to purchase the software, resulting in a lack of funds to develop and maintain the AV engine.
