ESET v4 Fixes


shought

Recommended Posts

Because of how the Box fix works the normal ESET tray icon can't display the current virus signature version. I made this little tray application as a addon to the Box fix. It takes 1 MB of memory and no CPU time.

It displays the current virus signature version in the tray icon. I know, an extra icon for so little, but I don't mind an extra icon myself.

Just copy the ESET4 Box4EVER Addon.exe file where ever you want it and start it.

To autostart with Windows : Right click the tray icon and select Start with Windows. If you move the ESET4 Box4EVER Addon.exe to a different folder then deselect Start with Windows AND select it again.

If you want to test it, get it here :

Tested with ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 under Windows Vista SP1 (32bit), Windows XP SP3 (32 bit), Windows 7 (32bit). UAC was activated on Vista and Windows 7.

this looks nice. i will try it.

What did you exactly post jofre? A modified version of ESET?

@box

You should ask brianwarming if he'll allow you to add this tray icon as an option to your fix :think: (It would require some good description though, to avoid confusion.)

@brianwarming and box

This might be crazy, but I noticed that you(box) replaced the 'nothing' with 'Locked/open ESET for status.', would it be possible to let the utility created by brianwarming write the virus signature database version to a different registry key(one that's not protected by ESET) and then change the registry/settings to make ESET receive the information from that key?

I think it should be possible, somehow.

Please explain then, what is it?

Edit: Nvm, it's just the normal ESET with an update server :think:

yeah was just going to say it just looks like a non-eset run server, there are a few of those out there...

a while ago i setup a couple eset installs for friends that pointed to a non-eset server, updates fine (as long as Person X keeps the server running...)

I've just tried to download your ESET4 Box4EVER Addon.exe file, but mediafire reports " 0 items found to display! "

Have you removed the file?

ESET4 Box4EVER 4.30A :welcome:

Pending serious problems, I believe that this is the final version. People, just remember that updating using the trial eval servers are an on going issue with ESET. There is no getting around it. I have learned many new things making this fix, especially the gui.

In case you make another fix, what will have to do someone that has used a previous version?

There is nothing to do except replaced the old file with a new version. The Box4Ever doesn't install anything. But just to be safe, [unlock] Eset before switching to a new version.

I think it should be possible, somehow.

There are 2 locations where the signature and scanner version are stored and updated. I have exhausted all possibilities and it is just not possible because ESET only gets its info from the main registry key that Box4ever locked it from changing. This is hard coded into ESET. I don't think that it is possible to link a registry value to another value. The second possibility would be to update the main key for ESET but ESET locks users out with its SD. This is a never ending cycle.

@brianwarming,

Would you be kind to teach me how you create the add-on?

Last question (sorry if it sounds stupid :welcome: )

Does Box4Ever need to be kept in some special folder because it runs at every startup, or once I run it the first time and "lock" NOD32 I can safely delete it and keep it (zipped) in another place?

you can delete and/or zip it. You would only need the file when you want to unlock eset and make it "normal" again

Look what I found...

Ok just for argument's sake...ESET4 Box4EVER 4.30A...

Is a fix you have to dl and execute? Right?

And...that has an effect on the application's trial time...

But...then claims to NOT install and NOT modify your system?

I call bullsh1t on that one...LOL

NODLOGIN = FTW

:welcome:

Private server? As long as it's not close down, it will work?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I do not have computer always ON and this morning, when I started Net, received 1st. automatic update. Shows now 3971 Virus Signature database.

It doesn`t show limit time of use, so I think it`s for ever, as long as server wishes...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

See POST 802

cheers

Yeah, we use to have private server when Nod32 first come out with v3, remember? One of the member here actually put it (website) up for all of us to download.

He has the paid version of Nod32.

B)

It is hard to debate someone when he generalized. First, every program that executes in windows automatically generates temp files and delete when done, assuming if everything goes according to design. If a program executes and purposely leaves a file behind then it basically "installs". Box4ever was designed not to leave any file behind.

"and NOT modify your system?"

When you say "system", you include everything that is a part of the pc, inside-outside-internal-external-attached-portable-software-hardware-input-output. (So you can say that a bacteria is, in fact, a part of this world and the universe.) I never say that box4ever doesn't make changes in a "system". I did, in fact, said that box4ever modifies the registry but not any of ESET files.

What a dip, especially given it only claims the former of those two.

By the way, Box: I always saw your FiXes for V3, but wound up staying away from all but the Automated fix that was made with Mara. This wasn't because I couldn't do it, but because I help lots of friends and family install it and I knew they wouldn't be able to handle it. Having looked at all available options, and having how heard that it has a GUI to help people install, I'm very likely going to give your new fix a try -- I really like the idea of locking the registry without having to schedule stuff all the time, therefore allowing SD to always be on. Thanks for your work :)

All I can say: he's an imbecile :)

@jofre:

The fix you mentioned uses a patched updater.dll

So the fix works... after all B)

I didn't bother trying since I'm waiting for the next stable release before updating to v4.

I just hope it gets updated... when the time comes :)

-----------------------------------------

Give you news tomorrow about next update.

...and yes, it`s just a single .DLL .Works for both products »» Nod AV and Nod ESS 4.0.314.

Till the end of March there will be, hope so, a final Nodlogin , but this actual 9.9beta works fine.

Also have the chance of changing my Email address, to receive from Eset a trial username and password every month and return then to previous email address. So no cracks needed and I am one of those that update in 1st place.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now time to look for other cracks.

BTW: - Windows 7 Beta Build 7068 is out.

cheers

Nice week-end to all good members

@box

Your ESET4 Box4EVER 4.25A fix has just gone four days (NO REBOOTS!) holding steady at 31days! Looks like you've hit the spot with this one! :) (That's tested on ESS 4.0.314 / WinXP Pro SP3 32-bit).

@shought

What does box's fix have to do before it hits the frontpage? :s I've tested the mara and box fixes and box's latest fixes are easily as sound as mara's!

Things seem to have gone a little quiet between box and brianwarming... are you guys brewing up a stunner between you? :P If brianwarming's addon could somehow be incorporated in to the box fix, that would be pretty groovy! B) especially if the sigs info could be relayed to the genuine ESET tray icon!

I tried to download brianwarmings addon, but mediafire reported zero files?

Great work guys!
