Marik Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 well v2 is light on resources and effective.v3 has a new fancy GUI plus increased detection rate (watch out, I think its spreading)v4 has both the antivirus engine plus the spyware engine (antivirus edition...not eset smart security, but ESS also has that, plus anti-spam and firewall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonimontana Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 The version 4 uses alot more system resources than version 3. Also, I don't like windows update notification feature of version 4 as windows vista/xp already has this feature. Anyway, I'm waiting for the next stable release as well.

AshTheGamer Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I am not sure which one I am using but I am finding it an improvment to the one I was using before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KotaXor Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 If memory is an issue, use v2.7.If memory is not an issue, use the latest version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Husen Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 V4 is working good here...Same here too - on free 30days Trial(using @mailinator.com email service)It regularly updates without hassle & the program runs on auto-pilot in Learning Mode.

Sonar Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 running v4 for about a week now, seems fine.. "with no fix" just a valid user+pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The V4 uses around 45 MB ram whereas V3 uses only 12-18 MB ram. This is true, Nod32 v4 uses around 45MB and my windows core is forced to ram as I have 4GB ram and pagefile is disabled. egui.exe is currently using 7052K, ekern.exe is currently using 46704K, you do the math. Even while they were beta testing I emailed them and requested that they use whitelisting or some other technology to reduce the mem usage to beat NAV2009, however ESET dosen't seem to care. I also asked them to implement a separate binary to use with msn messenger for speed but they didn't care about that either.As for the original question V4 is much better with threat classification and version 3 is the weakest in my book since many viruses could easily disable it. I think ESET tries to keep the mem usage down by removing old threats from the database which could explain why v2 picks up on things that v4 doesn't. In all cases don't depend 100% on any single product, use a separate on demand scanner like malware bytes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set it to only check apps marked as internet browsers and of course I don't check anything because I really don't want it to use the http scanner. By default it scans ports and apps. I say "disable" because I don't actually disable the scanner module else nod32 would go orange and harass me that my pc is unprotected, the way I configure it allows the web scanner module to be loaded as usual but just that it has nothing to scan.

I think if you know 'how to surf the internet properly', your pc will never get infected. I use the following for protection:1. ESS v32. Opera v103. Ad muncher 4.72 for blocking ads4.

shought Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Mkay, then my readings must be of... Anyway if you have the luxury of disabling the pagefile then you shouldn't worry about 30 MB extra :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
