[access-uk] Re: FW: Major Release - ESET NOD32 Antivirus Version 3.0 and ESET Smart Security

Good that GW Micro's is following up with Eset re accessibility of Nod32 3.0. But has anyone tried the new Eset's security suite 3.0 and can comment on its accessibility? 

Cheers,
Amro

I'll second that Steve.  The mouse keys in Window-Eyes will get you to
just about anything, and there is the F5 key for the display of info.
I'm sure more advanced JFW users are using the JAWS cursor at the
moment, though no doubt scripts will arrive.

The interface to my limited eye is very much a take on the Webroot
Spysweeper interface.  Afraid reviews of software these days are as
much an appearance trip as anything.  Its got to look 'cool!'  This
sort of criticism is obviously what Eset have had to address.

A more VI friendly version will, I'm sure be along soon, not least
because of GW Micro's efforts and many of their customers too.

Cheers,

Hi Vanja,

Not at all time for new software.  To get into settings, press F5.
You have
to do some mousing, but it is perfectly usable.

All the best

Steve

3.0 and ESET Smart Security

Well I downloaded and installed version 3 and they still haven't
implemented
non graphical interface. It was pretty much impossible to use. Some
aspects
are just about usable with the jaws cursor, but I still couldn't
manage to
get to all the parts of the settings. It also came up with some sort
of
error message. I can't exactly remember the wording, but it said
something
about many parts of nod32 not being able to function properly, but it
didn't
give a reason. Due to such horrible interface of course it was
impossible to
copy the message. Virus signatures were up to date, so I really am not
sure
what the problem was.

So after that not very nice experience I now downgraded back to
version 2.
Hopefully we will still be able to use this version for a while, but
we got
to ask ourselves: is it time for a new anti-virus software? Shame
though,
because nod32 is very powerful, light, fast, unobtrusive and was
accessible.

Smart
Security

7 November, 2007

ESET NOD32 Antivirus Version 3.0 and ESET Smart Security We're pleased
to
announce the release of ESET NOD32 Antivirus Version 3.0 and ESET
Smart
Security, a new, integrated security solution for consumers and SMEs,
built
on ESETs award-winning advanced heuristic ThreatSenseR detection
system and
the ESET NOD32 scanning engine.

ESET Smart Security is a fully integrated security solution that
includes
antivirus, anti-spyware, a personal firewall and antispam. While some
competitive solutions purport to have similar functionality, ESET has
developed a unique approach that provides true and full integration of
point
security solutions.
The key advantage of this approach is that individual protection
modules are
able to communicate together seamlessly to create unparalleled synergy
to
improve the efficiency and effectiveness of protection. Moreover, the
integrated architecture guarantees optimal utilisation of system
resources,
so ESET Smart Security continues our well know reputation for
providing rock
solid security in a small footprint that will not slow down your
computer.

ESET Smart Security has already received a glowing review by John
Hawes at
Virus Bulletin (November 2007).

"ESET seems to have upped the ante considerably here. While NOD32 has
always
been a cutting-edge product in technical terms, usability has seemed
very
much an afterthought in previous versions, at least as far as general
users
were concerned. In a sudden leap, this new product has shaken off the
complexity and actually taken something of a lead in terms of ease of
use.
The default settings put in place in a few easy steps during the
installation seem ideal for general purpose use, information and
alerting is
clear and helpful without ever seeming intrusive or scare-mongering,
and
detailed configuration is about as straightforward and painless as
such
things can be. With the user experience reduced to an installation
process,
and possibly the occasional alert as another attack is spotted and
blocked
effortlessly, the unobtrusiveness is further enhanced by the products
legendary lightning speed, miraculously unimpeded by the additional
protection, keeping overheads to a level barely noticeable on modern
high-powered systems. Lacking full behavioural monitoring may help
minimize
the slowdown, but with the level of in-depth analysis and emulation
going on
during scanning the performance is most impressive. As vendors release
their
latest 2008 product ranges, the addition of new supplementary modules
seems
to be all the rage, most suites now sprawling with diverse
functionality,
often at the expense of user-friendliness and occasionally posing
dangers of
their own.
ESET has resisted the temptation to sprinkle in too many extras,
focusing
instead on the core requirements of a security system.
Covering all the essential bases with a smoothly integrated set of
protective barriers, the combination of top-of-the-range detection,
response
time, heuristics and throughput with excellent presentation and design
will
make Smart Security pretty hard to beat."

Home Editions (up to 4 licences) of ESET NOD32 Antivirus Version 3.0
and
ESET Smart Security are available now. Business Editions (5+ licences)
will
be available from 26th November 2007.

Existing NOD32 users can upgrade to ESET NOD32 Antivirus Version 3.0
free of
charge using your current Username and Password. The installer is
available
from http://www.eset.co.uk/download/registered_software.php. If you
require
a copy of your licence details these can be found at
http://www.eset.co.uk/lost.

ESET Smart Security prevents, detects and removes malware such as
adware,
bots, rootkits, spyware, trojans, viruses, worms and other Internet
threats
you face on the job, at home and everywhere your computer goes. We'd
highly
recommend migrating to ESET Smart Security and for a limited time
existing
users can migrate at reduced cost by visiting
