Discussed at length in this thread: https://forum.eset.com/topic/38965-eset-security-ultimate/?do=findComment&comment=176737 and others on this topic.

I actually found the same information that is being talked about a lot.

I Assume ESET is aware of this assumed threat,? And probably will protect the end user against  it ? Just seeking confirmation

Hello @tommy456,
Yes I can confirm that some of our customers might have experienced such issues today.
It will be resolved by our teams, without any interaction required from customers side.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Peter

Thanks, Peter It has already resolved i just checked it  before i checked here

Correct. The equi.exe process should auto terminate a short time after the Eset GUI is closed via desktop means.

Use the Eset uninstaller tool: https://support.eset.com/en/kb2289-uninstall-eset-manually-using-the-eset-uninstaller-tool

As this is an Eset form the answers are probably going to be to stay with Eset. 
The only thing you can do is run a trial with Norton and see how it works and what you prefer. Some AVs can be very feature rich but can come with unnecessary extras which in turn slows down the system

It was due to Game mode being  disabled , i forgot i had done this some time ago

Re your announcement , is this not cutting your nose off to spite your face  so to speak , and also discrimination? And Who in the end pays for this loss of business, the rest of us no doubt ? https://www.eset.com/int/ua-crisis/

Using Pre release modules  Direct Cloud communication module 1118.2 no notifications shown after opening  steam  client   or  connectivity errors in the logs, so far ,so appears  this new module will resolve the issue

Hello @tommy456 and @Masamunnex,
Direct Cloud communication module 1118.2, with this issue fixed is available on pre-release update channel.
Can you please switch to pre-release updates, verify if your ESET product downloaded the Direct Cloud communication module 1118.2, try to reproduce the issue and let us know?
 
The issue was caused by multiple requests failing, thus taking the channel offline even in case of a short network outage...
Peter

Ok Just reproduced the issue with both logs  enabled   Peter Randziak has a PM with logs

I did get the same alert I believe yesterday and I believe it was at the same time I'd opened steam but it went off straight away. Haven't been able to reproduce as of yet though

Microsoft are intent on relegating the desktop PC into a -poor child of their crappy surface tablet.  There is little or no point in promoting all this geoloating twaddle on a PC which is, for the most part, quite static in its movements.  Laptops are not that mobile really,  except for business types.
Windows 10 is dire, intrusive, bland.  If Linux could offer me better gaming options I'd blow windows out the door and not waste a minute more on it.

With respect Marcos, my input was not what will happen in the future but was regarding the present , and i was suggesting a method that the OP could instal the product that they may well of paid for ,  but why is eset abandoning  sha-1? Are they just in cahoots with MS or is there a real security  risk ?

Working ok for me here win 7 x64 ,same browsers /version and module

We've reverted the Cryptographic support module to the previous version while the issue is being investigated and a solution prepared. You should now have version 1028.2 of the module which didn't cause the issue.
