rudrax Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 A question: Does a virus infect a file with no extension? :yes: There are options for those type of files, too - within ESET.No no, antivirus has nothing to do with my query. Suppose, you do not have any antivirus in your PC. You have a file with no extension - I mean, you have file named fl0ppy not fl0ppy.exe or fl0ppy.dll or fl0ppy.zip. In this case, can any virus infect fl0ppy that has no extension?I haven't installed ESET but already downloaded it. I was waiting for you to have pre and post installation guide and activation tips.

I have downloaded those 3 fixes listed in the FP so tell me what to do?On my own systems that are carefully monitored and regulated, I prefer to use the TNoD.On my Customers' systems, the TNoD would be a headache as the User Names and Passwords are valid for just a few months - for them, I prefer the box, mara- Trial Resetter.Please note the TNoD can be used after ESET is installed whereas the box, mara- Trial Resetter has to be run before installing ESET and over a live internet connection.

Alright, so I have to run it before activating ESET or after activating ESET trial license?Unless one runs TNoD - one would not be able to activate ESET. :spank:When you're at leisure - uninstall TNoD and replace it with a portable, instead - remember to do this with all your installation (on the systems that I configure - I have 95% portables against 5% installations.)Edit:-Don't forget to add your TNoD in the list of your exclusions of your security systems.
