I think it would have to be a different product, rather than an option for ESET Smart Security. Certainly something we can look at, though (if our development team aren't looking at it already).

I don't want advanced heuristics but I want something that make my computer an isolated zone from the internet zone .. which means cookies , internet downloaded files , cyber attacks occur on a virtual zone that never runs on the actual PC system ... that would say ,,, go play with the code like u want but it'd be executed in that virtual or isolated internet zone and it's over !!!! no tikkie no laundry !

It's a bad habit to keep quoting oneself, but I can't resist: "No one (outside of Hollywood) thinks that doctors go out of their way to create diseases, or that crime is a fiction dreamed up by law enforcement agencies to keep themselves in employment, or even that lavatory cleaners spend their idle moments blocking toilets. Why, then, are we regarded with especial suspicion?" If you're interested in my further thoughts on that, see the VB article at: http://www.virusbtn.com/virusbulletin/archive/2006/11/vb200611-OK Gosh, I’ve never heard that one before. :-) In fact the last time I heard it was from the surgeon who was just about to operate on me… It’s a bad habit to keep quoting oneself, but I can’t resist: “No one (outside of Hollywood) thinks that doctors go out of their way to create diseases, or that crime is a fiction dreamed up by law enforcement agencies to keep themselves in employment, or even that lavatory cleaners spend their idle moments blocking toilets.

Some times I also wonder if some of this virus/malware are not also provided by the developers to create the need of being updated. No I'm not pointing a finger, just wondering.

Detect rootkit may be a simple thing,but clean rootkit is a very difficult thing.
