I hope the people at Eset can sort all this stuff out, I think you
said that the software is only beta at this stage?
One software package which seems to be quite impressive is f-secure
found at http://www.fsecure.com as it seems to be very accessible and
quite cheap for about $75.00 to cover 3 computers.
I'm a user of Esets NOD32 Anti Virus and I wouldn't be without it,
only my 2 cents worth of course but boy! that thing is so damn
sensitive and good when it comes to finding viruses on a system so it
would be a crying shame if this product becomes unusable or
inaccessible. For the firewall? Well, I don't think too much is going
to come too close to Comodo Personal Firewall, particularly when this
software doesn't cost a damn old dime. Just to give you an example of
how protective and aggressive the software is, I uninstalled Window-
Eyes on a machine the other day, that's Window-Eyes V7.0. I put
Window-Eyes V6.1 on the machine as I wanted to do some comparisons
with something or should I say I tried to put WE6.0 onto the machine
but no, Comodo wouldn't have a bar of that at all because I was trying
to install stuff that the software had both never seen before and I
was trying (in Comodo's eyes) to penetrate its defences, by default
the software won't let you run any executables or similar software
from CD-ROMS, floppy drives, memory sticks and so forth, it pops up a
message asking you to "allow this request, block, treat as" and so
forth and of course I had no way of accessing this, thank goodness for
Rollback <smile>. Got the job done in the end though and was able to
do what I wanted to do.

Hi all. I've spent a good part of the day playing with the new ESET
security suite, combination fire wall and anti virus.
It is configurable with Window-Eyes, but I had the devil of a time
getting scripts to run at all, or update e.g. the weather or not
script would not go out and get weather, the install packages would
not . . . etc. Even if I turned off the fire wall, or virus
protection, no luck at all. Also, it is necessary to put programs
which access the web in the "browser" area of the program, so I did
both Eudora and Window-Eyes, and Eudora began working properly, but
not Window-Eyes and scripts. In fact, when I attempted to either
turn off or on scripts running using ESET 4.0 beta, WE froze, and
had to be unloaded using control-alt-f4, with the kill_wineyes
utility I have installed. NVDA came to the rescue then, and oh yeah,
one more thing, during the installation of ESET 4.0 beta, somehow
Window-Eyes was run again, or loaded again, and said, "window-eyes
is already running."
The configuration is pretty easy, like nod32 3.0 using f5, and you
can turn off the GUI interface from within the interface portion of
the program. The fire wall is nice, check boxes for "save rule as
permanent or one instance," and allow, block, buttons, all speak
fine. The program runs better with Window-Eyes than jfw 10, where
jfw10 kept losing focus and WE did not. nanner nanner. :)
