📢 Heads up, ESET users! Version 12.0.2049.0 is available. This is a behind-the-scenes update that makes your antivirus faster and more stable on Windows 10/11. No action needed if auto-updates are on. Restart required.
Version 12.0.2049.0 is designed to be managed via ESET PROTECT (version 10.1+) . Key administrative features include:
Modern attacks don’t just use executable files; they exploit memory vulnerabilities in legitimate software like browsers, PDF readers, and Office suites.

This closes the door on fileless malware that leaves no traces on the hard drive.
