  1. Ever since updating to the new NOD32 17.1.9.0 last night my VPN which is hide.me can't connect until I either disable NOD32 temporarily or disable the Network Traffic Scanner, once it is connected and I enable NOD32 the VPN will continue to work but the initial connection doesn't happen anymore until NOD32 is disabled or the Network Traffic Scanner is diabled. I have also added the VPN to the exclusions and also allowed it in the web access under excluded apps
  2. I've added ESET GUI and ekrn.exe to the exclusions in my VPN so they don't use the VPN when I connect to it because that's what's triggering this error is when I connect to the VPN, been 15 mins and so far I didn't get that message. Will keep monitoring this and report back.
  3. so I installed Wireshark then rebooted then connected to the VPN, for about 20 mins, I didn't get that error from NOD32, then the moment I opened NOD32 and clicked on update, the issue appeared, I then went to Wireshark and stopped the packet capturing but got this message: I didn't see it logging anything. I will format my laptop later as I need a fresh start anyway, hopefully this won't come back again and since I'm the only one who mentioned this issue, maybe it is something with my system
  4. I notice every time I connect to my VPN (I use hide.me) this is happening after a few minutes. This never happened in the past I've been using the same VPN and NOD32 for years just pinged: avcloud.e5.sk
  5. Running NOD32 Antivirus 17.0.15.0 , I am getting this popup notification from time to time randomly: limited Direct Cloud connectivity issue I have the ESET GUI and ekrn.exe rule set to allow in my Windows Firewall settings. I am running the latest build of Windows 11 23H2 After getting that popup, I see everything looks ok in the main UI, no notifications Is this like a temporary glitch?
  6. Working fine here, if you have an adblocker or any extension that may interfere with website loading such as ghostery and whatnot, make sure you exclude ESET's site from it. Also, to tule out any possible problems with browser extensions, try opening a New Private Window/In cognito window of your browser which shouldn't have any extensions then try to login and see if the issue still persists.
  7. Please stop typing everything in capital letters, this is considered shouting and rude on the internet
  8. I use TOR and it works perfectly fine with NOD32 active, no need for any exclusions even. Make sure you download it from a legit source like: https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/tor_browser_bundle_64.html
  9. Thank you for the instructions, I rebooted the machine but this time the error didn't happen.
  10. This error has come back again. I experienced this twice now in 2 days. ESET GUI Dump file
  11. what is the difference between Detection Exclusions and Performance Exclusions?
  12. I was testing Avast Antivirus Free the other day and as I was adding folders that had a lot of . EXE files (my software folder which includes installers and benchmarking tools), Avast popped a message saying that adding too many exclusions would hurt performance. This has me thinking, is that something particular to Avast or is it a general rule of thumb that one should only add exclusions to a few items that they do not want the antivirus to touch for any reason but not over do it? Also, what is the difference between Detection Exclusions and Performance Exclusions?
  13. In the past, if one had a license for ESET Internet Security ESET Smart Security, he could still install NOD32 and activate it using that same license as the higher edition licenses can still activate a lower edition. Is this still the case or if you enter the EIS or ESS key the program would automatically upgrade the components to the higher suite?
  14. I just turned on my laptop and I no longer see the warning. I live in Dubai. Try another reboot.
  15. Yes and it's the heaviest antivirus in the world getting the last place in AV-Comparatives tests for many years consecutively. If you don't care about performance, then feel free to use it.
  16. Just like you, I've been using ESET NOD32 Antivirus for more than 15 years. Not once had I had a virus so I take these synthetic tests with a grain of salt. No regular user out there is gonna sit there and download 100s of viruses to test his AV. In the real world, I have been always protected. What matters to me other than protection is a security solution that as no bloatware (ie. toolbars, addons, system optimizers, registry cleaners, etc.), has very low false positives, and is light on the system which ESET gives you exactly that. It is very rare to find such a combo in other products other than ESET.
  17. Remember, the more filters you use, the slower web browsing will be and you may experience broken webpages. I personally uncheck all and just leave the Easy List filter and Fanboy Annoyances.
  18. weird, you saw what it was doing in the video. oh well, no big deal. if it happens again I'll let you know.
  19. I found the solution but this is a bit buggy and needs to be fixed. Watch the video to see the solution solution.mp4
  20. Please watch this video and tell me what's going on here when I add an EXE to the web filtering exclusions, it picks up something else ESET NOD32 Exclusions Bug.mp4
  21. Right, I changed my email address to an old email address that I don't use then a made a new account and bought a new 3 year license for NOD32.
  22. This probably means you are trying to activate a license that is meant to be sold and used in another country/region. Check my reply here: You will need to figure out where the reseller you bought the license from is and select that region when registering the license or if you can get a refund and buy it directly from the official ESET website of your region.
  23. very easy, you don't even need a VPN, during the initial activation, it will ask you for the customer name, and email address, then the country, if you select the correct country (ie. Afghanistan in this case) then the activation will work regardless of the geographical IP address of the computer. I know this because I work for a computer reseller in California and our ESET distributor is in Dubai. We have to select the region as UAE and then the activation iwill work and is permanent regardless of the location or IP of the laptop.
