I've just come across a problem when having a web page open in ESET Banking & Payment Protection and using MS Excel at the same time. In Excel if I try to copy and paste something it works fine the first time, then if I try copying something a second time Excel comes up with the error "We couldn't free up space on the clipboard. Another program might be using it right now."
I googled the error to try and find what might be causing this and a common cause was zone alarm. Although I don't use zone alarm I thought it could be something to do with Smart Security. To cut a long story short, after playing about with this for an hour and testing various different scenarios, I found that the problem was occurring when I had a web page open in ESET Banking & Payment Protection. However, closing ESET Banking & Payment Protection didn't resolve the problem as I found that once it had been launched eOPPFrame.exe continues to run in the background. I wasn't able to kill this from task manger so I had to go into the Smart Security setup and permanently disable Banking and Payment Protection to stop eOPPFrame.exe from running. Once I'd done that I was able to copy and paste in Excel without any problems.
I only came across this problem yesterday, and previously it's not been an issue. The only thing I can link this to is a recent product update I remember receiving for Smart Security within the last week. The only reason I remember it is because it required a reboot to apply the update.
I'm currently running version 9.0.375.0 of Smart Security and the module versions are:
