Did you even read my message? - "I don't use email clients and don't need this to be on so why does it insist on being on?"
The point is if I want to turn off ANY portion of this program I should be able to without it nagging me to turn it back on. It's called CHOICE.
Update: Turns out I didn't have all the right controls turned off (see link). Once done, no more nag on the eset home page. I stand corrected.
