 ESET NOD32 Antivirus v4 beta available for testing

Hello,

ESET is pleased to announce the availability of a new product generation for testing.
A public beta of ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 is currently downloadable from
this download page
. Even though installation over older versions is supported, we recommend that you
uninstall your current version prior to installing the beta. Since it's still a beta
version, we do not recommend installing it on production systems.
The new version 4 features more than 50 improvements compared to the current version.
The main changes are described below:
- integrated ESET SysInspector
- support for laptops (tasks can be postponed when the machine is running on batterry,
a notification appears if a larger update is going to be downloaded, etc.)
- added a non-graphic interface (suitable for screen readers used by visually impaired
persons)
- improved scanning of removable media (used maximum settings when running files
from removable media, allows blocking/allowing USB ports)
- improved cleaning
- improved self-defense
- added statistic graphs and information about the currently scanned object
- added an option to use advanced heuristics on file execution
- added an option to control the level of archive scanning or maximum scan time of
objects
- added option to supress notifications when applications are run in fullscreen mode
- scanning of encrypted HTTPs/POP3s protocols
- website management allowing to block/allow access to user-defined sites
- new Document protection module for scanning MS Office files
- added an option to connect to 2 ERA servers
- customizable context menu
- UAC support
- password protected uninstallation
- notification about missing operating system updates
- management of hidden dialog windows
- Thunderbird plugin
- Antispam now uses a user and global address books
- potentially unwanted/unsafe applications are now reported in a yellow alert window
which requires a user interaction
We will welcome any feedback from you. If you come across any issue, please report
it to betasupport[at]eset.sk. You can also create a new thread here where we can
discuss it futher.
