- It's totally not bloated. It's about as perfect as they come right now. Even in beta form in total the entire thing is using around 35 megs of memory on my system, with everything enabled (and a virus scan running)
UI is great, the options are terrific, and since it is an ESET/NOD product, it scans super fast, and doesn't bog the system down. So far so good. Hopefully though, it won't cost $99 or something.

- I'd be interested in someone doing a review between KIS 6 and this. So far I am in love with KIS 6 on Vista but you never know.

If ZA works for you then great. If not then god help you because since ZoneLabs were bought out by CheckPoint Software their customer support sucks. Also, deceiving customers into beta testing their software by saying it's an essential upgrade just about sums them up...
Personally I like NOD32 and their Smart Security Suite works fine for me. -
#12.2 Posted by XeonBuilder on 14 May 2007 - 14:57
- I haven't had any problems at all running Zone Alarm 7 but Im always willing to try something new if its a better product and uses less resources. ZA7 also uses the Kaspersky AV engine from what I read so it cant be all that bad

- Doesn't look half bad.
But for those who are using the beta, how's the memory usage?

#14 Posted by Mad_Griffith on 12 May 2007 - 15:30
- Why does it say this when I launch the installer?
"The product does not support upgrade from older versions of NOD32. Please uninstall NOD32 and run the installer again."
I just have Kaspersky installed, but got it disabled when running this setup.

- Nod and kasper are similar in the way it works. So if it sees kasper as nod and vice versa, uninstall it. As for memory, currently it uses 28meg which aint much considering how good it is. in this release they have fixed all the problems I had, eg, interactive mode, cannot wait untill its final and I can give them loads of money for a very good product, well, not to much.

What’s new
ESET Smart Security is a milestone in the field of computer protection against infiltrations and attacks. The program offers more than just a sum of its parts – it is synergy that matters most. If all components are used simultaneously, the effectiveness of the whole program is multiplied. ESET Smart Security unifies all its functions to create a complex security solution.
ESET Smart Security is based on three basic pillars:
ESET NOD32 Antivirus + Antispyware
This component is in fact an improved version of the award-winning scanning engine of NOD32 Antivirus v2.7.
ESET Personal Firewall
Firewall monitors all traffic between a protected computer and other computers in the local network and in the Internet.
ESET Anti Spam
ESET Anti Spam serves to filter unsolicited email, which makes your work with email more effective.
Here is the changelog for the release:
ESET PERSONAL FIREWALL
* Improved compatibility with other installed TDI filters, such as Sunbelt Software Personal Firewall.
* Fixed an issue with notification windows not being displayed when the firewall is in Interactive Mode.
* Fixed an issue with excluding applications from being checked for modifications.
REAL-TIME FILE SYSTEM PROTECTION
* Fixed an issue with the graphic user interface not properly reporting when real-time file system protection had been disabled.
* Fixed an issue with how real-time file system protection scanned newly-created or modified files. Real-time scanning now properly quarantines files infected files on network shares.
ON-DEMAND SCANNING
* Fixed the problem with scanning the "My Computer" object or individual files were checked.
ANTI-SPAM
* Fixed an issue with Microsoft Outlook 2007 crashing when closed.
INSTALLATION
* Fixed two issues which prevented ESET Smart Security from installing on some computers.
Several misspellings in the user interface and in the online help have been corrected as well.
