How interesting it is, then, that Antivirus vendors are still implementing Antivirus for Mac and linux.

Even MORE so, they are implementing antivirus that hooks into your Virtualization/cloud platforms to protect your VMs, both virtual servers and Virtual Desktops...

Here is te solution from ESET for VMWare:
https://www.eset.com/int/busin...

Here is from Bitdefender, for many Hypervisors:
https://www.bitdefender.com/bu...

  Here is the one from Sophos:
https://www.sophos.com/en-us/m...

But hey, I guess I'll better surrender my geek credentials, as well as all the people working in ClamAV, and all the engineers and managers that are working in such a clear dead end technologies as Mac and Linux antivirus at those companies (and many more).

After all, is soo clear for me now, you and Anon coward can not be wrong.

Avast is Czech, as is its subsidiary AVG, Avira is German, BitDefender is Romanian, ESET is Slovak, F-Secure is Finnish and Panda Security is Spanish. Sophos is British, so it is probably more likely to be tampered with.

Funny how an ESET researcher discovered this, but Bleeping Computer took all the credit. Here's the link to the ESET decrypter: http://support.eset.com/kb6051... Also, don't feature security news from TechCrunch. The article is wildly incomplete and just scratching the surface of what really happened. Choose ZDNet, SecurityWeek, or another infosec site.

There are several Linux AV available. For instance: https://www.eset.com/us/produc...

Hello,

The problem with the Windows 10 Build 10586 (aka v1511, TH2) installer detecting versions of ESET's software that are compatible with Windows 10 as not being compatible has been fixed by Microsoft. Simply allow the installer to connect to the Internet for the latest updates and it will download an update that allows is to recognize all compatible versions of ESET's software.

Customers who were on the latest builds of ESET's software (v9.0.318 for consumer, v6.2.2033 for enterprise) were never affected by this, but customers who had older--but still Windows 10 compatible--builds did have there versions flagged when Build 10586 of Windows 10 was installed.

For more information, see the following E SET knowledgebase article: http://support.eset.com/kb3733...

Turn off Windows Defender via run > services.msc.
Run this free AV/Malware scan twice a month, or whenever you feel your system "may be infected".
http://www.eset.com/us/online-... (left option)

- No need to install a bulky Antivirus/Anti-Malware program that will slow your PC down more than an actual infection.
- No need to pay for something that you'll probably never use, let alone need.

If you "must" have active protection. Re-enable Windows Defender and put up with the performance impact it has on your system.

Hello,

My day job is at a security software company (anti-malware). We don't do anything in the backup space (either develop software, resell someone else's software, etc.) but I did write a paper on the subject of backups for them, because not every computer problem is a virus. It is more geared towards home users or home-based businesses than the video, above, because I figured that businesses already have some idea about backups—whether or not they are doing them properly is entirely another question, though.

The paper is basically an overview of backup technologies that might be applicable to a single PC or a small LAN, and is completely vendor neutral (like I said, no ties to anyone/anything in the backup space). It is also specific to on-premise backup technologies, as opposed to cloud, because those are the types of backup technologies with which I am experienced.

Anyways, if you are interested, or want to share it with a friend, family member, et cetera, here's the the paper: Options for backing up your computer [PDF, 862KB]

Hello,

I guess you didn't look very closely at ESET's web site:

About Page - http://www.eset.com/us/about/profile/overview/

Contact Page - http://www.eset.com/us/about/contact/

According to their page on Wikipedia, they have over 800 employees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESET

Hardly obscure, and as for the U.S. government listening to them, they'd have to get in line far, far behind Symantec, McAfee, Trend, etc.

Hello,

A lucky guess.

I'm not as familiar with the remote management side of things as I used to be, but I suspect that with potentially unwanted applications (PUA), the option to use would be "delete" instead of "disinfect." The latter is really only applicable to parasitic infecting viruses which actually modify host code. In the case of a PUA, there is no clean host program inside the PUA, it's a PUA all the way down.

I would suggest checking with the LabTech or ESET support folks to verify the settings, though, as they have hands-on experience that I'm out of date with.

ESET offers a bunch of free tools. There's a whole page of Stand-alone malware removal tools that's always being updated, a free online scanner that scans and cleans malware, and my personal favorite, the system inspection tool, which is great for forensic-type activities. They're all conveniently accessible from the Utilities page, but no one seems to ever go there.

ESET has, for years, offered a guide to prevent such issues with games. I agree with those who say ESET is "the best" in that it's not only effective but really doesn't bog a system down. I still think the value proposition of MSE is great. Most folks just don't need the customization options ESET offers.

Here's the ESET gaming config PDF.

http://blog.eset.com/2011/11/15/sopa-and-pipa-and-dns-an-open-letter-to-congress

PERTINENT QUOTE/EXCERPT:

"SOPA and PIPA have serious implications for DNS"

Also - what's "DeSOPA" (the FF addon being discussed) do? Here's a quote of that much as proof:

"Firefox Add-On Bypasses SOPA DNS Blocking" from http://torrentfreak.com/firefox-add-on-bypasses-sopa-dns-blocking-111220/

---

QUESTION (one I already answered in my previous replies no less): WHAT DOES NSLOOKUP DEPEND ON?

ANSWER = DNS SERVERS!

---

So, your usage of nslookup, vs. SOPA DNSBL's (DNS Block Lists)? Like you, it's STUPID & LIMITED!

(Especially IF this passes into law, because then, every legit DNS server will have to implement it from ISP/BSP levels!)

---

Not only THAT, but again also?

The OP (original poster) WANTED TO BYPASS DNS SERVERS - your method, using nslookup? DOES NOT! See my 'p.s.' below in regards to THAT!

(He's actually either lucky, OR, right as rain on it/rightfully so)

Yes, you'll have to bypass DNS due to those DNSBLs, in order to obtain information about blocked out ones, & ONLY WAY TO DO THAT? You guessed it:

REVERSE DNS INFORMATION gained from the 2 TLD's I noted (that maintain CNAME to IP Address pointers records!)

* Yes, this was the consolidated "Final 'coup de grace'" on your ass...

APK

P.S.=> To establish that NSLOOKUP has DNS dependencies, look no farther than this, right @ its outset:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nslookup

PERTINENT QUOTE/EXCERPT:

"nslookup is a network administration command-line tool available for many computer operating systems for querying the Domain Name System (DNS) to obtain domain name or IP address mapping or for any other specific DNS record."

AND, that "all said & aside"?

Again - since DNSBL's will be being used, that's when nslookup "won't have a clue" even, because those records WILL BE "GONE WITH THE DAWN"... but the TLD's that maintain the reverse DNS records won't be simply because of some DNSBL being implemented!

"Here endeth the lesson"... & You? YOU HAVE BEEN ROYALLY "Pwned"...

... apk

There are several options, but based on experience on the PC, I'd go with ESET.

ESET would fill that bill, and in my experience is the only one with a small enough footprint to keep from pissing off Linux and OSX users *having* to use AV.
http://www.eset.com/us/business/enterprise
http://www.eset.com/us/business/why-eset

I don't work them, and am using the product after trying McAfee, and Virus Barrier X on my Mac.

Eset has a particularly interesting paper on Stuxnet which may interest you.

This is a new version of a ~2 year old rootkit, also known as TDSS, and the company responsible for this particular parasite is a russian outfit known as Dogma Millions. Eset did a good writeup on the older version here. This newer version is actually even more interesting than the article indicates. It's intelligent enough to send tools like MBRCheck off to look at a backup of the MBR so that they'll erroneously return a "clean" verdict while the system remains infected. The best bet for removal is TDSSKiller by Kaspersky (the company that wrote the blog entry).

Count me in as one that bit on that worm the "press" used then :)

At first, I just scanned this:

But, looking deeper (in this very paper even), yea maybe it wasn't the Dirty Dozen afterall.

because all antivirus software is made by people who are governed by the laws of the united states...

And will pop up a reminder every two days to inform you that for only 19.95/year you could be using AntiVira Premium.

I got so fed up with it that I'm probably going to end up paying for NOD32

• Antivirus (use with firewall)
  • NOD32 ESET (fast, reasonably secure)
  • GData (slower, best possible protection)
  • Avira (fast, highly secure, & free version)
• Firewall (use with antivirus & antispyware)
  • Comodo (free, hard to configure)
  • PC Tools (free, easier to configure)
  • Zone Alarm (pay & free versions)
  • Agnitum Outpost (pay)
  • Jetico Firewall (pay & free versions, hard to configure)
• Internet Security Suites
  • Kaspersky
  • GData
  • BitDefender (cheapest)

That and lock down your browser, by installing Firefox, with NoScript, Better privacy, adblock plus, and deny cookies by default, then enable the cookies you want using the cookingSafe extension. Do that no matter what security software you have installed. Or of course you could save yourself a great deal of trouble by using Linux.

ESET and Kaspersky in that order.

I recently got burnt by symantec and their inability to provide a working product for Windows 2008 Server x64 a year after its release and after numerous patches that claimed to make their product compatible.

Don't forget the 100MB of RAM it takes to run a anti-virus *suite*. I'm still wondering why people accept *that*.

They shouldn't.

ESET Nod32 has AV for Vista64
http://www.eset.com/
Very light on resources too.

Have you tried looking at ESET Smart Security? They have 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Works like a charm on my 64-bit Vista machine. http://www.eset.com/

NOD32
It's awesome. Fast, simple, small, high quality results on all the tests. Not free, but cheap ($30-$40 depending on how many licenses you buy).
If you need free, I now recommend avast over AVG with the newest bloatware version of AVG.

Try ESET's NOD32 Antivirus -- worth every penny of the $35 I paid for it. Small resource footprint, world class heuristics. I think it's now $40 for home users.

Are you really so strapped for cash that you can't fork over $60 for top of the line AV? Renewals are $40. This is pretty basic, absolutely essential stuff we're talking about, here, and $60 really isn't too much to ask if you're employed. (I understand if you're still a student.)

Anyone heard about Onehalf? We're talking something like 1992-94 IIRC. :)

If my memory serves me right even further, the virus is from Kosice, Slovakia. It spread quite quickly (even though there was essentialy no Internet at that time in Slovakia) but later on, I believe ESET produced a utility to detect it and clean it up. Nice thing was, that it did not need to boot from clean boot floppy in order to do the clean-up (which was quite unussual at that time).

Funny thing then was, that few month later, as we though that Onehalf is - thanks to that utility - dead and old news, story came from USA that Onehalf reached there and that after a lot of trouble Norton was able to detect it. But not clean it. What a joke. If we've had email, we would happily mass-mail that ESET's anti-Onehalf utility to every one.

Maybe further info: ESET's One Half entry.

Yes, Clam does do a better job, but IIRC, Clam won't do scanning on access of a file -- it only runs in batch mode when scheduled. McAfee, crappy though it is, will scan files whenever a user or process touches them.

For my money, I like Nod32 by Eset Software http://eset.com/.

Uh, because it pisses off their customers when they discover that, despite paying the yearly extortio--excuse me, subscription--fee, their computers still aren't protected?

Treat me honestly, fairly and openly, and I'm a customer for life. But if you sell me a "security suite" then nickel and dime me for all of the add-ons to provide the protection I thought I was getting in the first place, then I'll go elsewhere.

I used to use McAfee on my wife's Windows desktop (I use Linux, thank you very much) until I noticed two things happening: 1) the size of the product, and the resources it needed to run, kept growing, and 2) the protection it offered kept shrinking. Despite running the full malware protection on her computer, she *still* kept getting infected, and it was all I could do to keep her machine running. I've since switched to http://www.eset.com/Nod32 and have been, for the most part, pretty happy with it. It's fairly lightweight, works pretty well and has some cool features that reasonably competent system administrators will like (e-mail notifications, for example), although it doesn't tolerate unstable Internet connections during updates, unfortunately.

I'm not entirely certain I'm following you here, but I think you're asking for elaboration on why Symantec is crap and/or a recommendation for non-crap AV. If that is in fact what you're asking, then first of all Symantec is crap because it's an absolute hog and your system might actually perform better if you un-installed Symantec and installed the spyware instead. Second I can recommend three AV solutions, one of them free for home use, and the other two requiring paid subscriptions. First there's Avast which is free for personal use and generally does a decent job, but may not be up to the task of protecting a computer that has to open a lot of files from "high virus risk" senders as you put it. Second is AVG which is usually reviewed as one of the top recommended AV products out there, and generally finishes at the top of the pack in any AV software benchmarks. Last up is a little known one called NOD32 which was recently rolled into a bundle called ESET SmartSecurity by it's manufacturer. NOD32 is nearly always the best rated AV product for detection of viruses, and is probably the best bet for a high risk environment. Any of those three should do a better job then Symantec, although the last two may work out better then Avast. For a home user, I'd recommend Avast any day, but for commercial environments, either AVG or NOD32 are probably a better choice.

Between Avast!, AVG, Clamwin, Panda, and any other free antivirus software out there, there's got to be something to replace Norton.

Here in Europe ESET's NOD32 is gaining popularity particularly among techies and power users. Two highlights:

1) Advanced heuristics. A test showed that an older version of NOD32 detected 90% of THEN UNKNOWN(!) viruses, based on behavioral and other characteristics. Ref: http://www.eset.com/download/whitepapers/AV-Comparatives-2006-Summary.pdf

2) Incredibly low footprint as far as memory consumption and CPU load are concerned (and that includes real time scanning).

It's commercial but it's really worth it.

AV Comparatives does not give AVG very good marks, and my experience has reinforced this. NOD32 and AntiVir are the best out there by their results. AntiVir is free for personal use and they both perform on par with Norton without bringing systems to a crawl.

Oddly, I haven't seen many truly serious rootkits. Most of them have been on pre-SP2 XP machines, which are (thankfully) becoming rarer.

The interface takes some getting used to, but it works well, has all the features you'd expect without trying to sell you on a firewall/"internet security" suite. It scores among the best in hit % (typically 2nd, sometimest 1st), and it was the fastest scanner in several tests. They also have "bulk" discounts, which is great if you're running more than one system.

Recent review here and when searching for reviews just now (never seen a bad one), I just discovered it's user rating blows away that of Kaspersky.. rightly so, IMHO. This is a nerd's AV if ever there was one.
