  1. First, we would like to thank the user Daren for spotting and reporting this unusual communication to LiveGrid, as well as for reporting it to this forum. We can confirm that anonymized domain statistics (statistics about domain and their IP addresses performed by the client) were indeed sent to us despite the fact that this functionality had been switched off. This was due to a flaw in an update on 2019.3.25 at 10:25 CET.

    The user report triggered an immediate investigation by ESET, and on the afternoon of March 26th at 15:03 CET, LiveGrid servers were adjusted to no longer receive the statistics. Two hours later, with the release of update 1549.3 of the Antivirus and Anti-Spyware scanner module, the issue was fixed.

    We would like to apologize for the behavior of the scanner and respect the wishes and options our users make in the settings of our products. Although the statistics sent were anonymized at all times, we immediately removed any and all data that may have been collected in error. The users’ privacy was not affected.

  2. If you are able to reproduce it easily, please carry on as follows:
    - enable advanced logging under Help and support -> Details for technical support

    - reboot the machine
    - start recording a demonstration video
    - reproduce the issue (avoid unnecessary network communication to keep logs as small as possible)
    - disable advanced logging and stop recording the video
    - gather logs with ESET Log Collector and supply us with the generated archive and video for perusal.

  3. It merely shows the last file scanned by real-time protection. Real-time protection scans files locally, not in the cloud. With the LiveGrid feedback system enabled, suspicious files are submitted for automatic replication and analysis and in case a file turns out to be malicious, it will be detected and blocked also for other users with the LiveGrid reputation system enabled.

    The LiveGrid reputation system not only improves protection (detection) but also substantially improves performance and cleaning of threats.
