Thanks for the heads up Cory, I didn’t think about mentioning that since it is obvious to me.

Nope, no Linux. It requires Internet Explorer with ActiveX so this is going to be Windows only.

I love Active Virus Shield as well, it’s fast and effective. I’m sure the only reason Eset is using Internet Explorer is because they can easily transform their program into an ActiveX application, so a Firefox-compatible version probably won’t be emerging anytime soon.

Well Eset has gone down the same track as Kaspersky labs did with their online sacnner

1. Internet Explorer.
2. ActiveX control
3. MB’s of download.
