NEWS
1. NOD32 - NEW SYSTEM UPGRADE! (ENVIRONMENT VERSION: 1.023)
MAIN NEWLY IMPLEMENTED FEATURES:
A) New anti-virus operating memory (RAM) scanner.
Several unique algorithms providing scanning of computer operating memory were
implemented for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 platforms. NOD32 applies state-of-the-art
scanning of the operating memory to detect viruses, worms and Trojan horses.
B) Increased security of update processes!
NOD32 Control Center module (NOD32CC) provides automatic update and network
functions of NOD32 anti-virus system. New security measures were addopted
to secure authenticity and integrity of the update files transfered from ESET's
update server to clients' computers via Internet.
Authenticity of the transfered files is protected by means of digital signature
based on improved PGP standards. NOD32CC automatically checks for the authenticity
of the update files and, in case of any discrepancy, reports all irregularities
to a client.
All digitally signed update files (files with .nup extension), ca be verified
using ESET's public encryption/decryption key. Applied method of protection is
highly reliable and proven protection means.
C) Update Support for Isolated Computers
To facilitate update of computers not connected to Internet and/or compter
network (isolated, stand-alone computers), new version of NOD32CC supports
their update by means of CDs or the floppy disks. This option is available
in the "Mirror setup" dialog window , click at the "Advanced..." button.
2. Version 1.019
A) New anti-virus e-mail filter has been implemented in NOD32 system. The filter
scans all incoming e-mail messages for clients using POP3 protocol, such as
Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger, Eudora, etc.
How does the anti-virus filter work?
NOD32 for POP3 is a flow-through scanner. It is located in between the e-mail
program (POP3 client) and the e-mail server (POP3 server). As data flows
through the filter, they are checked for the virus infiltrations. If
an infiltration is found, a warning window is displayed. The filter itself
will not remove the detected infiltration. This job is done by the anti-virus
system itself.
B) Another new feature implemented in the new NOD32 version is its capability
to clean curently running (or opened) infected file. NOD32 cleans a copy
of the infected file and, after the computer had been restarted, the system
replaces the infected copy with the clean one.
IMPORTANT NOTE (for on-demand scanning and cleaning)!
1. Before proceeding with ON-Demand scanning and cleaning it is recommended
that all running applications are closed.
2. If On-Demand scanning reports detection and cleaning of infected files,
it is important to reboot your system to ensure the infected files are
permanently replaced.
3. You will be prompted to reboot the system after the cleaning has been
completed. Reboot the computer immediately to avoid further spread of
the infiltration. Do not run any other application.
4. To double check the cleaning procedure, repeat the NOD32 scan after
the reboot of you computer.
NOTE:
AMON resident anti-virus monitor will not clean the currently running
infected files. To clean the files, use NOD32 On-Demand scanner.
(Start -> Programs -> ESET -> NOD32).
C) Changes in the NOD32 Control Center:
1. Improved control of the contents of the update/mirror directory during
the update.
2. File integrity check (applied to the update files).
3. Immediate modification of the Configuration file regardless of the change
in current version build.
4. Update set-up enabled upon the system restart only.
3. Version 1.53 (20001205)
A) New update and management system is among the most important changes
implemented in this version. For detail information, please, visit us
at: www.nod32.com.
B) New NOD32 Control Center module was integrated in NOD32. The Control Center
was developed to support NOD32 multi-level network management and update
system.
C) All NOD32 key modules are now equipped with automatic report messaging
system. Virus incidents and other defined events can be sent via SMTP
to any predefined address/es.
D) Enhanced management of extensions of the files to be tested/scanned was
implemented as well. New extensions can be added while the virus signature
database is updated. No restart of the computer is required.
4. Version 1.37 (20000519)
A) Version 1.37 provides you with reliable detection and cleaning of the new
VBS/NewLove.A worm.
5. Version 1.36 (20000511)
The new version is upgraded in two ways:
A) Newly developed heuristic analysis applicable for the script viruses has
been implemented for your protection. This unique algorithm working for
Visual Basic and Java scripts allows detection of yet unknown viruses which
will take advantage of the replication and spreading methods similar to
those of the viruses/worms such as LoveLetter, BubbleBoy, Kak, Unicle
and the like.
B) A number of new virus signatures were added to the new version including
the W97M/Humanit.
6. Version 1.34 (20000418) released on April 18 2000 brings several
improvements.
A) Implemented resident e-mail message protection for
Outlook/Exchange clients is one of the major changes in the new version.
This protection also works for e-mail clients with MAPI compatible
interface.
How the protection works: If you get an e-mail message infected with
a virus, NOD's module, in charge of e-mail protection, will tend to remove
the virus. At the same time, the original message will be moved to a new
folder named "Infected messages". For the sake of preventing measures,
we will appreciate if you could forward the infected message for further
detailed analysis to our technical support division at: support@nod32.com.
Some details regarding the installation of the new resident e-mail
protection system:
- First time installation
During the first installation of NOD on your computer (version 1.34 or
higher) a window will appear allowing you the option of installation of
the resident e-mail protection into your standard profile. This option
can later be disabled, or on the other hand, added to other profiles you
may be using. This can be carried out using the Tools/Servics menu of
Microsoft Outlook. The changes become effective after the restart of your
Microsoft Outlook application.
- Update of NOD via the execution of the setup.exe program
Running of the setup.exe installation program turns on the resident
e-mail protection module automatically. In case you don't wish to have
this protection enabled, check the "I also want to change other settings"
check-box in the "Update installation" window. This action is followed by
the appearance of a window allowing you to disable this option.
- Update of NOD via the "Automatic Update" feature
Update of NOD via the Automatic Update does not turn on the e-mail
protection module automatically. However, after the update of the system,
manual setting of the e-mail protection module can be done as described
above.
NOTE: Once the resident e-mail protection is turned on, your incoming mail
messages will contain a label attached to them with the following reading:
This message has been checked through the NOD32 for Exchange e-mail monitor
(http://www.nod32.com).
B) Optimized data storage and compression of NOD's components (in version 1.34
and higher) leads to reduced volume of the installation files speeding up
your download rates. The size of the update file (relevant for those who
use the Automatic Update feature) has also been reduced.
The aforementioned compresions have, however, no effect on the performance
of NOD Anti-virus system whatsoever.
NOTE: (only for those who use the disk installation)
Due to improved compression the use of the directory "disk3" is history
and does not not appear in versions 1.34 and up.
