ICSA Labs has certified ESET NOD32 Antivirus Business Edition for use with the Mac Operating System. This is the first anti-malware product to receive Mac certification from ICSA Labs, an independent division of Verizon Business. ICSA Labs awarded this designation - announced Wednesday (Jan.

26) at the Macworld 2011 conference - to ESET for anti-virus detection under ICSA Labs' desktop/server anti-virus criteria, which is aimed at protecting end users from emerging and existing threats. 'The threat of spreading malware in a heterogeneous or mixed computing environment comprised of Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows PCs is a real security threat today,' said Andrew Hayter, anti-malcode program manager of ICSA Labs. 'That's why ICSA Labs is now offering certification for anti-virus devices that operate on Mac systems, which affords high levels of protection for end users under both operating systems.'

Offering advanced security protection with an unobtrusive interface that runs in the background, delivers real-time protection from attack and helps to facilitate compliance posture by providing up-to-date anti-malware protection for Mac, Windows and Linux platforms. To earn this ICSA Labs' certification, ESET NOD32 Antivirus Business Edition for Mac OS X had to successfully prevent end users from becoming infected by in-the-wild and other computer viruses during a rigorous testing process. During testing, the product also demonstrated its ability to protect individual desktops, laptops and/or servers of residential users and organizations from self-replicating malicious code infection. Anti-virus products receiving the ICSA Labs' certification must be able to detect viruses on demand; detect and prevent the replication of viruses on access; report no false positives; and log every virus detected.

To provide an ongoing assessment on the protective quality of certified products, ICSA Labs continually tests and retests products for compliance with its criteria. Subsequent releases and upgrades for certified products must be retested to meet the same criteria. 'Attaining the first ICSA Labs' certification for Mac is an important validation of the quality and strength of the protection that ESET provides for the Mac platform,' said Dan Clark, vice president of marketing, ESET North America. 'ESET is committed to delivering the best malware protection for businesses and consumers alike by providing aggressive, proactive cybersecurity software.'

Hello, Does anyone use the NetScreen-Remote vpn client with ESET SmartSecurity on a Windows 7 computer? It does not work with versions of ESET SS greater that 4.0.474. Windows 7 professional, with SP1 (new installation) Juniper NetScreen-Remote v9.0 (SafeNet SoftRemote 10.8.0 - Build 20) ESET Smart Security Business v4.2.67 or v4.2.71.2 It works with version 4.0.474 of ESET SS, deactivating first the firewall, doing the vpn connection and then activating the firewall.

But with a version of ESET SS greater (I tried with v4.2.67 and 4.2.71.2) it does not connect, even deactivating the firewall. The Netscreen-remote asks for user and password, try to connect, but finally it fails with a message of 'User Authentication failed'. Attached are the logs of the client and of the Juniper SSG 5 where I'm trying to connect. I have configured the ESET SS with rules to allow all traffic for the NetScreen-Remote programs.

I attach too a image with the configuracion. Same configuration works without problems on a Windows Vista Pro and on a Windows XP Pro. Any ideas of what can be happen? Log on the Juniper SSG5 firewall: Log on the NetScreen-Remote vpn client: Image with rules of ESET SmartSecurity. We sold the NetScreen SSG5 firewall to (some of) our clients, and we installed the NetScreen-Remote client in the portables, together with the ESET SmartSecurity.

Now they begin to update the computers and to use Windows 7, so we have this compatibily problem. Is not too many users, maybe 80, but they are of different companies. Offer a NetScreen SSG5 firewall plus NCP implies to duplicate the budget, and our clients are small offices and they do not want to spend so much money, and actualy they do not have 'the need' of such inversion. As I see, the solution will be to wait to the next version of ESET SS and see if they change the way it works so we do not have the compatibility problem. And if it continues, then we must use another local AV+Firewall, but changing all the users and licensing the product. What do you mean with 'VPN/FW maneged clients'?

What I meant was to investigate the possibility to use the integrated/built-in Firewall of the NCP client instead of the ESET. Both the NCP Universal Client and the NCP Enterprise Client come with a Firewall. In the case of the Enterprise Client, which is a managed client, the firewall rules are centrally manged. But if you have smaller customers best to go with the Universal Client. Unfortunately the NCP Juniper client does not have the Firewall integrated, only the Universal NCP Client does.

You can do a 30-day trial of the Universal client. It has full functionality for 30 days. At least you know what is there.
