      here are the changes:

      Hello,

      ESET is pleased to announce the availability of a new product generation for testing. A public beta of ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 is currently downloadable from this download page. Even though installation over older versions is supported, we recommend that you uninstall your current version prior to installing the beta. Since it’s still a beta version, we do not recommend installing it on production systems.

      The new version 4 features more than 50 improvements compared to the current version. The main changes are described below:

      - integrated ESET SysInspector
      - support for laptops (tasks can be postponed when the machine is running on batterry, a notification appears if a larger update is going to be downloaded, etc.)
      - added a non-graphic interface (suitable for screen readers used by visually impaired persons)
      - improved scanning of removable media (used maximum settings when running files from removable media, allows blocking/allowing USB ports)
      - improved cleaning
      - improved self-defense
      - added statistic graphs and information about the currently scanned object
      - added an option to use advanced heuristics on file execution
      - added an option to control the level of archive scanning or maximum scan time of objects
      - added option to supress notifications when applications are run in fullscreen mode
      - scanning of encrypted HTTPs/POP3s protocols
      - website management allowing to block/allow access to user-defined sites
      - new Document protection module for scanning MS Office files
      - added an option to connect to 2 ERA servers
      - customizable context menu
      - UAC support
      - password protected uninstallation
      - notification about missing operating system updates
      - management of hidden dialog windows
      - Thunderbird plugin
      - Antispam now uses a user and global address books
      - potentially unwanted/unsafe applications are now reported in a yellow alert window which requires a user interaction

      @F – It looks a little different. You can grab it at beta.eset.com.

      @Robin – There are some pretty big upgrades there. I wonder if it’ll do a better job at cleaning/detecting the Adware BHO’s and Vundo.

      I’m testing that today.
