ESET warns that recently there has been increased activity and a risk of infection of the corporate network with malware, the consequences of which are:
1) Encryption of confidential information and files, including 1C database, documents, images. The type of encrypted files depends on the specific modification of the encryptor. The encryption process is carried out according to complex algorithms and in each case encryption occurs according to a certain pattern. Thus, encrypted data is difficult to recover.
2) In some cases, after performing malicious actions, the encryptor is automatically removed from the computer, which complicates the procedure for selecting a decryptor.
After performing malicious actions, a window with the information “Your files are encrypted” appears on the screen of the infected computer, as well as the ransomware’s requirements that must be met to obtain the decryptor.

Since the illegal actions of attackers may contain signs of crimes under Art. Art. 159.6, 163, 165, 272, 273 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, in case of infection by a virus of the FileCoder family, we recommend filing a statement with the police.
In most cases, uninstallation of ESET security products is completed successfully using standard Windows uninstallation tools. However, if the installation of the program was completed incorrectly, or if the program was uninstalled manually or using third-party software, you may need to use a special uninstall utility. You will also need to use the utility if you reinstall the program if its operation fails due to incorrect installation.
You can read detailed instructions for using the utility at.
Installing and running two antiviruses on one computer can lead to unstable system operation. Before installing ESET NOD32 antivirus, it is recommended to remove any third-party antivirus software.
If you did not uninstall a third-party antivirus before installing ESET NOD32 antivirus, then during the installation process it will be detected by the “Setup Wizard” and removed automatically. If automatic removal is not possible, you will be asked to remove the third-party antivirus manually.
To remove a third-party antivirus, you can use standard Microsoft Windows tools, as well as -. install the TeamViewer QuickSupport application on Google Play.
ESET Dev Center thanks users and partners for reporting new viruses and other malicious code threats
Open your antivirus, click F5, then go to the section Computer - Virus and spyware protection - Exceptions, press the button Add, add the entire root folder with the program to the exclusions.
For mobile phone locks, used as modems(to prevent users from using the mobile internet connection) you can configure the built-in product ESET Endpoint Security firewall - just create a firewall rule in the "default firewall profile", the rule should block all incoming/outgoing connections. The purpose of this rule will lead to the fact that all communication will be blocked.
After that, to allow communication when connected to the company network, create another firewall profile (name it, for example, “company network profile”), and assign this newly created profile to the correct network adapter. This will result in the fact that if a computer user is connected to the company network, he will be able to use the Internet, but if he connects to any other network (or uses the phone as a modem), he will not have an Internet connection.
If you suspect your computer is infected (slow performance or unusual behavior), we recommend running an on-demand scan of your computer to detect possible threats. In addition to standard protection measures, it is recommended to perform on-demand scanning at least twice a month (more often for computers at high risk of infection). Performing regular scans can protect your computer from:
1. Open the main program window. To do this, click the icon in the notification area Windows or select Start - All Programs - ESET - ESET NOD32 Smart Security or Antivirus ESET NOD32.
2. Select a section PC Scan - Smart Scan.
3. When the scan is completed, the number of scanned, infected and cleaned objects is displayed. Click the button OK to return to the main program window. To view detailed results in the on-demand scan log, go to step 5.
5. Select menu items Utilities - Log Files. From the Journal drop-down menu, select .
6. Double-click the row corresponding to the last scan performed (top row). Will open a new window On-demand computer scan, which displays information from the scan log.
What should be configured on the server (if configured via HTTP):
F5 on the keyboard and in the section Utilities - Licenses add license file nod32.lic(this file is sent along with your login and password; if you have not received it, please send a request to technical support at support@site).
Next, go to the section Update in advanced antivirus settings, click Setting - Mirror and check the boxes Create an update mirror, and . Click the button OK to exit to the main menu of the program and update the virus signature database.
What should be configured on the client: (In case of configuration via HTTP):
You need to go to additional antivirus settings by pressing F5 on the keyboard and in the section Update specify the update server by specifying it in the form: http://
If you need to configure updates via Sharing, the difference will be as follows:
On the server, in the additional settings of the update mirror, uncheck the following: Transfer update files using internal HTTP server.
On the client, you need to set the connection parameters to the local network, and also specify the network path to the shared folder on the update server as the update server.
Information about the license will be sent to the specified email address, provided that you entered the exact email address that was specified when activating the license. Otherwise, you will receive a message stating that the data is missing. Please check your spam folder if you do not see the message in the folder Inbox. If you do not know the email address to which activation was performed, please contact our.
Or a loved one).
As you understand from the title, within the framework of these articles we will talk about installing and configuring such an antivirus solution as NOD32, which, by the way, many people love and use.
Traditionally, the material will only talk about the setup process and will not in any way affect the subjective component, i.e. talk about how well it catches something and what place it occupies in the ratings (which marketers write so diligently to sell their product) here it won’t, and therefore the holivars boldly walk by.
Let's get started.
You can download the one-day version from the developer’s website by clicking on the appropriate button.Installation, in general, is extremely simple (do not forget that only one valid antivirus must be installed on the computer, otherwise it will be like this), but there are a few points that are worth recalling.
True, let me remind you that it would be good to remove as much 5 checkboxes to not install items Yandex and his browser:
At the last stage of installation, they will try to sell you access using SMS. I'm not sure if you need this, so click on the " Install trial version", which is located in the lower left corner.
After which, most likely, you will be asked to install not only an antivirus, but also a solution Smart Security, that is, it also comes with a firewall and other devices.
Do you want to know and be able to do more yourself?
We offer you training in the following areas: computers, programs, administration, servers, networks, website building, SEO and more. Find out the details now!
We agree, wait, confirm the license agreement and at the next stage, perhaps, let's turn on the detection of potentially unwanted applications, but turn off the review system ESET LiveGrid:
After which the installation will be completed and all you have to do is click the button " Ready".
NOD32 activation and launch
But this is not the end, and they will again diligently try to sell you a license and again diligently tell us that we should at least try, and then buy:
But the suffering will not end there, and you will be asked to register this very free license. By level of intrusiveness ESET starts to irritate. Here, however, it should be noted that the email address is not verified in any way (although they diligently send an offer to buy a license to it :)), therefore, in general, you can diligently indicate any nonsense, after which the program will be registered.
It turns out that it's free 30 -the day version turns into... 14 -ti day. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that at one of the stages we set Smart Security, and not just an antivirus, but still somehow not very pleasant. However, okay, let's move on.
Most likely you will receive a notification about choosing a network type. Actually, you can honestly admit it and move on, namely, wait for the automatic database update process.
After that, let's move on to the settings by clicking on the appropriate button.
Setting up NOD32
Since by default 4 The settings tabs do not contain anything interesting besides switches for different types of protection, then we will be immediately interested in the " button Additional settings".
On the first tab you should check the box " Enable detection of potentially dangerous applications".
True, this can affect false positives and, if you often use all sorts of Crack, Keygen etc., then lead to their blocking/deletion and generally increase the general paranoia of the antivirus.
On the "tab" Real-time file system protection“It may be worth clicking on the switch associated with scanning the computer when shutting down, which affects the speed of its shutdown as such and overall security.
In particular, scanning network drives is not always justified, provided, of course, that you are within the framework of a corporate network known to you, and not some mythical communal one.
In addition, I personally don’t like it when the computer does something without me, that is, it’s probably worth disabling scanning when idle, especially since all files are already scanned during writing, reading, execution, etc. therefore, if scanning is required, then it is somehow better to carry it out with your own hands and when you consider it necessary.
More details and settings
Regardless of the fact that there is a switch, I personally have repeatedly observed a situation where on laptops this scanning, being turned on, woke up the laptop when running on battery power and completely discharged it with this very scanning, which is not good.
The rest, in general, can be left as is. True, I also turn off the screen saver at startup, sounds and notifications on the desktop (see above), but if they are vitally necessary for you, then it’s up to you :)
By the way, if you have a low-performance machine or simply want the antivirus to not consume so many processor and system resources, then it makes sense to enable the game mode, which lives in the computer’s protection settings (the first tab on general settings, not additional ones).
If you decide to clean your computer, it is recommended to use a detailed scanning profile (and it is not clear why the profiles cannot be completely customized), as well as use the scan button as administrator.
That's probably all for now. Let's move on to the afterword.
Afterword
As you can see, there are not many settings and basically we leave everything as it is, optionally disabling some things that we don’t need to touch at all. This is partly due to the fact that, unlike earlier versions, the number of optional settings has decreased and they have been replaced by switches, which, in essence, do not provide much scope for flexible settings.. And in general, it has largely been replaced by a beautiful interface and constant requests buy a license.
So it goes. As always, if you have any questions, thoughts, additions, etc., please feel free to comment on this post.
- PS: Holy wars about the best antivirus are not accepted here, because they are already tired of their absolute meaninglessness
- PS2: If you decide to buy the full version, then I recommend it.
Must be on any computer. Especially if the device is connected to the Internet. There are a huge number of unreliable sites on the Internet. If you accidentally access them, your PC will be at risk. This is why it will be useful to download Antivirus with Firewall and real-time monitoring option. Figure out how to install, how to configure and how to remove ESET Nod32.
It has a firewall. If you try to open a page that contains malware, the defender will block the connection. It monitors your computer in the background and responds to suspicious activity. If you download a file with a Trojan, the program will warn you about the danger.
To install ESET Nod32 antivirus, you need to download it from the official website of the developer esetnod32.ru. There are free trials available. But after a while you will have to buy a license.
But be careful when downloading third-party utilities in attempts to bypass the license purchase. They may have malware or adware embedded in them. Therefore, it is better to use the official versions.
Before installation, you must disable the Windows Firewall. It may block your antivirus program. Its functions will be performed by the ESET Nod32 firewall.
- Open Control Panel.
- In the System and Security category, click on the Firewall icon.
- Go to the "Enable and Disable" section.
Turn Windows Firewall on or off
- Place markers next to the “Disable” items. The service will be deactivated.
Disable
You can restart the firewall at any time if you need it.
Before installation, you need to remove other security programs, firewalls and firewalls. They very often conflict with each other. If there are a lot of them, the computer will slow down. But you can use several antiviruses. Just make sure they work fine on the same PC.
Now you need to install Nod.
- Open the installer file.
- A welcome window will appear. Click Next.
Welcome window
- Accept the license agreement.
License agreement
- Do not select "Full installation (recommended)". This will load utilities, extensions, and panels that you may not need. Check the “Settings” option and uncheck the boxes next to the names of programs that you do not want to install.
- Wait while the files are unpacked.
- The welcome window will open again. Click Next.
- Accept the license agreement again.
- Set the installation mode to normal.
- Uncheck "Early Detection System".
- From the drop-down list, select “Turn off unwanted software detection.” If you wish, you can leave these options active. But they block the launch of many programs, even those that are not “infected”. And downloading any unlicensed utility in such conditions is generally unrealistic. Although it can be added to exceptions. If you disable detection, the antivirus will still work normally and protect your computer.
- Click “Next” a few more times. Then “Install”.
Installation process
The Node icon will appear on the taskbar in the notification area.
Settings
- Open your antivirus.
- Go to the Settings tab.
- Click on the "Advanced options" link.
Advanced settings
- Expand the Computer hierarchy.
- To set a new rule for startup items, programs or the registry, click on the “HIPS” item and click on “Configure rules”. There you can change application launch settings or block them from starting automatically.
- Open the Virus Protection - Exceptions list. There you can add files or directories that Nod should not check.
Setting up exceptions
- In the “Internet and Mail - Mail Client Protection” section, you can set parameters for working with electronic correspondence.
- In the “Network access protection - URL management” section, write a list of sites to which access will be allowed in any case. Or, conversely, indicate the resources that need to be blocked.
Here's how to add to exceptions in ESET Nod32 another way:
- When you run a suspicious program, the antivirus will issue a warning about a possible threat.
- In this window, click "Advanced Options".
- Check "Remove from scan".
- Click on the “Do nothing” button.
The file will be excluded from scanning.
Update
- Erase all folders associated with Nod. They can be in the "Program Files", "AppData" or "Application Data" directories.
- Open Registry Editor. To do this, click “Start - Run” and write “regedit” in the input field.
- In the window that appears, go to “Edit - Find”.
- Type "Eset nod" and start searching.
- It is necessary to remove what is related to Nod.
It is better to do this using a special PC cleaning utility (for example, CCleaner). This way the whole process will take place automatically.
With ESET Nod32, your computer will be protected from various types of viruses and hacker attacks. It's fairly easy to install. Sometimes the antivirus blocks files that do not contain malware. They can be added to exceptions.
Currently, there are a lot of different antivirus programs, the most popular among which are Kaspersky, Dr.Web, Avast, Avira, Norton AntiVirus, Panda, ESET NOD32 and others. The popularity of these antivirus programs, most of which are considered comprehensive antiviruses, was gained by their free use. In fact, this is quite arbitrary. Information “kulibins” who are constantly looking for all sorts of ways to use this or that software for free help us save money on using antiviruses. For which I express my deep gratitude to them. After all, not every ordinary user can afford to purchase a paid license for antivirus and other programs. And if you consider that everyone uses at least 15-20 basic programs, then you can imagine how expensive all this can become.
Of the antiviruses listed above, I have used all of them to one degree or another. I won’t say anything good or bad about them, because it would be wrong. About eight years ago I came across the NOD32 antivirus, then still in its second version. Since then, I have consistently used it and installed it for all my friends and acquaintances. And if you consider that later the NOD32 64-bit or 32-bit antivirus was supplemented by ESET developers with a personal firewall, for me the choice of computer protection became even more obvious. NOD32 64-bit antivirus together with the firewall is called ESET Smart Security 64-bit or ESS 64-bit for short. This is what I propose to install to protect your data and the computer components themselves.
If you do not yet have an installation distribution, I suggest you download it completely free of charge. At the end of the article you will find a link to the latest version of the antivirus program for 64-bit systems - ESS 6.0.308.2 64 bit. We will assume that there were no problems downloading the installation file to your computer. So, let's start the installation by launching the ESS_6.0.308.2_64-bit.msi file by double-clicking the left mouse button. 
The installation wizard window will open with a warning that recommends that you remove previously installed versions of the antivirus program. If you already have an antivirus program installed, uninstall it and continue installing ESS by clicking on the “Next” button. By the way, in the lower left corner you can see the version of the installed antivirus. 
After this, a window with a license agreement will appear. If you are satisfied with the terms of use of the ESS antivirus, agree by selecting “I accept the terms of the license agreement” and click the “Next” button. 
The system will offer you two installation modes: normal (or typical) and custom. I suggest selecting Custom mode and clicking Next. 
In the next window, you can select the folder in which ESET Smart Security 6 antivirus will be installed. I usually leave the folder selected by default. Let's go "Next". 
Now you will be asked to select the type of Internet connection. Most users have an Internet connection without a proxy server. Select this item and then click “Next”. 
A window will appear with settings for automatic updating of the ESS antivirus. I am happy with the default settings, because the update will only be done after my consent. Click “Next”. 
The installation system offers to protect the antivirus configuration settings with a password. If you set a password, access to the antivirus program settings will be possible only to those who know it. I usually do without a password. Let's go "Next". 
The next step is to enable or disable the ESET Live Grid service, which allows you to further protect your computer. She does this based on data provided by millions of other ESS users, including you. I usually leave it on. But you shouldn’t worry, you can either enable or disable it after installation in the advanced settings of the program. Click "Next". 
I always turn on detection of potentially unwanted programs, which I advise you to do as well. Unwanted programs are those that require your permission to install and can have a significant impact on the performance of your entire system. Let's go "Next". 
For beginners, I recommend leaving the “Automatic mode” of the personal firewall, in which standard outgoing connections will be allowed, and not initialized ones will be prohibited. Continue with the installation of ESET Smart Security by clicking the “Next” button. 
In the next window you need to click the “Install” button. 
After this, the system will ask whether to allow the program being installed to make changes on the computer. We agree by clicking the left mouse button on the “Yes” button. 
The antivirus installation process will begin. 
A window will then appear indicating that Matera has completed installing ESET Smart Security. Click "Done". 
After this, the personal firewall will detect a network connection on your system and prompt you to select the security mode for this network. If you are using a network connection in a public place, select “Public Network” to prevent your computer from being visible to others on that network. For the home, “Home Network” is suitable. In this case, your computer will be visible to other users connected to the same network. I use a desktop computer, so I always select “Home Network”. 
After this, the ESET Smart Security activation window will appear. Since we will be using ESS for free, we simply close the activation window by clicking on the cross in the upper right corner or the “Cancel” button in the bottom. 
The already installed, but not yet activated, antivirus program ESET Smart Security will start. Congratulations, the installation of NOD32 antivirus, or rather ESET Smart Security, has been completed successfully. All that remains is to activate ESS. You will find instructions for activating the antivirus in the article “
Fast and powerful virus protection program
Enjoy safer browsing, gaming and connections with the powerful protection provided by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. This solution eliminates a wide range of Internet threats.
On this page you can use step-by-step instructions for downloading and installing a trial version of an antivirus software product.
Step 1 (Download the installation file)
To start the installation, you need to download the installation file from the official website, you can do this by clicking on the link below:
(opens in a new window)
Attention! When downloading, please note that you can download the installation file for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows OS. For those who do not know the bitness of their operating system, you need to open the computer properties. You can do this in two ways:
1. Right-click on the “My Computer” icon on the desktop and select “Properties”.
2. Or follow the following path: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System
Having determined the bit depth of your OS, you can start downloading.
Step 2 (Install ESET NOD32)
Let's start the installation. Run the downloaded installation file. A welcome window will immediately open: (click " Continue")
Then the following window will open, in which you will be asked to enter your full name, email and mobile phone number. What is it for? These steps are required in order to subscribe for 1 year. You can make the choice yourself, buy a license for a year, or install a trial version. In this case, we will select the item " Install trial version" and move on to the next stage of installation.
Attention! If during installation a message appears stating that you have other security software products on your computer, it is best to uninstall them, since the presence of two or more antivirus programs installed simultaneously can lead to unstable operation.
At the next stage, we agree to the license agreement.
ESET's solution can detect potentially unwanted applications and ask for confirmation before installing them. Potentially unwanted applications may not pose a security risk, but they may slow down your computer's performance, speed, or reliability, or cause behavior changes. Typically, user permission is required for installation. Therefore, I recommend that you enable detection of potentially unwanted applications.
Let's move on to the next stage. Click "Install" and wait until the installer completes all the necessary steps to install the antivirus on your computer.
Ready! Antivirus installed successfully.
Step 3 (Program activation)
After installation, you must activate the trial version. To do this you need to select " Trial license".
After which you will be redirected to the next step where you need to enter your email address.
