4.6.5 ESET SysInspector

ESET SysInspector is an application that thoroughly inspects your computer and gathers detailed information about

system components such as installed drivers and applications, network connections or important registry entries

and assesses the risk level of each component. This information can help determine the cause of suspicious system

behavior that may be due to software or hardware incompatibility or malware infection.

The SysInspector window displays the following information about created logs:

Time – The time of log creation.

Comment – A short comment.

User – The name of the user who created the log.

Status – The status of log creation.

The following actions are available:

Compare – Compares two existing logs.

Create... – Creates a new log. Please wait until the ESET SysInspector log is complete (Status shown as Created).

Delete – Removes selected logs from the list.

After right-clicking one or more selected logs, the following options are available from the context menu:

Show – Opens the selected log in ESET SysInspector (same function as double-clicking a log).

Delete all – Deletes all logs.

Export... – Exports the log to an .xml file or zipped .xml.

4.6.6 ESET Live Grid

ESET Live Grid (built on the ESET ThreatSense.Net advanced early warning system) utilizes data that ESET users have

submitted worldwide and sends it to the ESET Virus Lab. By providing suspicious samples and metadata from the

wild, ESET Live Grid enables us to react immediately to needs of our customers and keep ESET responsive to the

latest threats. Read more about ESET Live Grid in the glossary.

A user can check the reputation of running processes and files directly from the program's interface or contextual

menu with additional information available from ESET Live Grid. There are two options:

1. You can choose not to enable ESET Live Grid. You will not lose any functionality in the software, but, in some

cases, ESET Smart Security may respond faster to new threats than virus signature database update.

2. You can configure ESET Live Grid to submit anonymous information about new threats and where the new

threatening code is contained. This file can be sent to ESET for detailed analysis. Studying these threats will help

ESET update its threat detection capabilities.

ESET Live Grid will collect information about your computer related to newly-detected threats. This information may

include a sample or copy of the file in which the threat appeared, the path to that file, the filename, the date and

time, the process by which the threat appeared on your computer and information about your computer‘s operating

system.

By default, ESET Smart Security is configured to submit suspicious files to the ESET Virus Lab for detailed analysis.

Files with certain extensions such as .doc or .xls are always excluded. You can also add other extensions if there are

particular files that you or your organization wants to avoid sending.
