Antivirus software is used to prevent, detect and remove computer threats such as Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horse, Spyware and Adware. Being a computer owner, I religiously update my antivirus to protect my beloved Delahunt (Yes, my computer has a name.) I value my things especially if they don’t come cheap. My computer stores very important files and surfing the internet makes it very vulnerable to threats. That’s when a reliable antivirus comes in.
As much as I wanted to protect my sweet Dela Hunt, there are some things that prevents me to do that. In my entire life, I never bought a licensed pack of Antivirus. I usually settled with trial version of ESET. Most of the time, it expires then I have to find another one again, wait for the trial period to run out and I do the whole she bang again. Then one day, I dedicated a portion of my time to find a long term solution to this.
I’m really glad that I stumbled in to nsanedown.com while looking for an alternative solution to overpriced antivirus software. Luckily, I got to download Box Mara-Fix and my issues with protection is gone. Box Mara-Fix v1.5 has a very simple task to do with your computer, it resets your Eset Trial Period (usually 30 days) every day so that it don’t expires.
I find this Antivirus Hack “A Must Read” since majority of our computer is protected by a trial version or unfortunately don’t even have one. I prefer ESET Smart Security because of the built in Firewall included in the package. I dont like Symantec, Kaspersky, Norton and AVG. I read lots of negative feedback about them. Therefore, I dont trust them.
I share this information with you because most of you is under this scenarios:
Scenario 1
You just bought a branded Laptop and antivirus is not included in the package. You asked the help of Google and returned you with tons of suggestions. You followed a link and made you download a trial version. When the trial period ends, what now?
Scenario 2
Your Multi Million Tax Evading Company just recently issued you a laptop, you try to give a complete scan but can’t perform it decently. You saw the antivirus is expired and a virus is starting to conquer you C:\My Documents. What will you do?
Scenario 3
You found a crack for your Antivirus in the net then one day, everything seem alright except one thing. A small window is popping out of your screen saying “Please enter the correct Username and Password to continue using the Antivirus”. That sucks.
HOW DO I DO THAT?
First thing you need to do is uninstall you expired antivirus. It’s useless, you don’t need that shit.
Gather the tools you need:
- A valid email address for your ESET Smart Security 30 day trial key then register. They will be sending you out one email address containing your username and password and its done. Register here http://www.eset.eu/download/ess-trial-form
- Download the latest version of ESET Smart Security which you can get here. Make sure that you download the correct installer, they have the 32bit (x86) and 64(x64) versions. Download your ESET Smart Security or NOD32 herehttp://www.eset.com/download/free-trial/international
- You also need Winzip or Winrar.
- A bottle of beer, Two slices of pizza, a pack of smokes, your recent resume and your college diploma.
Important: Before installing, we recommend uninstalling your current protection (including older versions of ESET software), to ensure a smooth transition. You can Export all your settings before you uninstall ESET.
You also be needing Box Mara Fix found in Nsanedown.com. You can directly download Box Mara Fix here.
Note: Box Mara-Fix is flagged as viruses/potentially unwanted applications by ESET, we assure you they are not.
When you have the installer file, you can now immediately install this to your machine.
Check the “Set update parameters later and then hit NEXT.
Check “Enable ThreatSense…” then NEXT again.
Choose “Enable detection of blah blah blah…” then NEXT again.
After the previous step above, it will start installing. If the installer don’t found any problem, then you just made it! Congratulations Open Eset window, located in your status bar (near the clock) OR Start>All Programs>Eset>ESET Smart Security. On the lower left of the window, find this phrase“Display: Standard mode”. Click the word “Change” and then OK (it will shift to Advanced mode). Your screen will look like down below.
Press F5 or at the upper right portion of the eset window “Set up” then “Advance Set up”. Uncheck the “ENABLE SELF-DEFENSE”. Your computer will be prompting you that you need to restart so that the change will take effect. Restart your computer.
Download the Box Mara Fix. Unzip it anywhere you want. The Password is “nsane”. I would like to reiterate “BOX MARA FIX IS NOT A VIRUS. Box, Mara-Fix are flagged as viruses/potentially unwanted applications by ESET, we assure you they are not”. Don’t be too worried my Dear. There are times where in when you unzip the box mara fix, eset will prompt you that it’s a virus. Just hit the “No Action”. If you still don’t believe me, close your browser. Shut down your computer. Do your assignment then go to sleep. And forget about this blog.
Right Click the Eset icon and choose “Run as administrator”.
A window will pop up, don’t read it. It’s bull shit. Just follow what’s shown in the image below. Hit “Fix it”.
Of course “YES”!
Wait for a moment. Say you’re prayers. Confess your sins. Notice the word “Finished” in the lower left of the window? You’re certainly right. Yes it is!
Open Eset window, Click “UPDATE” > “Update virus database signature”.
If update is successful, Eset icon will be turning from Red to something like Turquoise. Then its done! Take note of Trial period. I think its 30 or 31, we don’t really care right? But check that after a day of your installation. If your ESET AV expires, then I wasted your time!
(As of this moment, my ESET Smart Security is still working gracefully. Cheers!)
