I am on the regular channel and I got the update today. Is that a bug?

Thx to @itman and @Marcos, I unnistall Eset Internet Security and install it again using the offline installer for v12.2.29.0(*1) and now everything is working fine. *1 - https://support.eset.com/kb2885/

Yes I am 100% that never tried Eset Smart Security Premium version on the pc I am currently today because this pc is new, I got it February this year and I always used Eset Internet Security version on it. If I try to get a trial version of Eset Smart Security Premium and activate it on my pc and restart my pc then activate my Eset Internet Security license and restart my pc again will that be able to fix this issue? Another thing that I was thinking to do was to try to use a file deleter like Wipe File to delete the PasswordManagerInstaller.exe file in the "C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET Security\Installer" folder but I think that probably will damage the installation of Eset and cause me a lot more problems.

The only explanation that I can see is that Eset fixed the Offline Installer of the version 12.2.23.0 after I did my installation on 19/07/2019. I can 100% garantee you that I installed the Eset Internet Security version since I only activate my license after the installation finish and I didnt get any notification from Eset to restart my pc, which I would get if I had installed Eset Smart Security Premium and then tried to insert a Eset Internet Security license. Can you please provide me a link for the Offline Installer for the version 12.2.29.0? Where I downloaded the offline Installer for version 12.2.23.0(*1) still doesnt have the new version(12.2.29.0) offline installer. *1 - https://www.eset.com/pt/casa/internet-security/download/

Did you install version 12.2.23.0 using the Offline Installer or you used the Live Installer?

Show me a screenshot of your "C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET Security\Installer" folder.

The only place in a Eset Folder that I can find something about Eset Password Manager is in the "C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET Security\Installer" folder. If there was any problem with my first installation then it was related to the Eset Internet Security 12.2.23.0 offline installer(it still is possible to download this version offline installer using the link below): https://www.eset.com/pt/casa/internet-security/download/

I already try that and doesnt work also if I close Eset and wait for the ESET Main GUI process to disappear from the Task Manager and after that I open the Eset program again the Password Manager Update Notification disappear but if I click on the Manual check for updates option, the notification appears again until I close Eset and wait for Eset Main GUI process to disappear(*1) again. *1 - If I open Eset before the ESET Main GUI process close I still can see the Password Manager Update notification.

It doesnt appear in the Security Tools section also the folder "ESET Password Manager" doesnt exist in my "C:\Program Files\ESET\" folder.

No I always had Eset Internet Security, I first install it using the offline installer for version 12.2.23.0. https://www.eset.com/pt/casa/internet-security/download/

I was on Eset Internet Security 12.2.23.0 and today I got a notification to update to version 12.2.29.0 but the weird thing is that I also got update notification to update Eset Password Manager something that is only on the Eset Smart Security Premium version. I was able to update to Eset Internet Security 12.2.29.0 without any problem but the Password Manager update notification still appears, I press to update, it starts to download the Eset Paswword Manager.exe file and the notification disappears but if I click in the manual update option of Eset the notification apears again.

I personally dont think the person that runs The PC Security Channel [TPSC] is manipulating the result for example ESET Internet Security v10 and v11 got good results on his tests. v10 Review:

Should I be worry about this very poor test result of ESET Internet Security 2019?

I recommend you to read this topic:

Try to add it like this: *.youtube.com/*

I probably think you got those 2 blocks because you set your network as public in your PC instead of home network but maybe @Marcos can clarify this. https://support.eset.com/kb3754/?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US

By what he describe I think he is talking about Eset Firewall blocking "svchost.exe" connections.

@Marcos Can you please reply to my previous post in this thread?

You are right there, I shouldnt said that is false positives, should have just said that are annoying popups, that for me are more annoying than the ads that I get when I am with uTorrent interface open + like I said I am not the type of person that installs toolbars and other programs that come in the application setup that I want to install so I dont need Eset to give me annoying poppus that crashes the setup just because of toolbars that I am not going to install anyway.

@HANDJOJO Have you try to reboot your PC? Also did you clean install v12 or did you update to v12 using Eset v11 regular update notification or did you update from Eset v11 to v12 using offline installer of v12? I update from Eset v11 to v12 using offline installer of v12 and didnt got the bug you post.

I know thats why I dont enable those options + like I said I do not install toolbars and other programs that come in the application setup that I want to install. Also I dont care about the ads that I get in uTorrent when I am with uTorrent interface open, its absolutely fine for me, I dont click on the ads and like you said is a way of trying to make people pay for the Pro version. For example the type of ads that I dont like is the ones that Avast Free has because even when I am not with the Avast Interface open I get a lot of annoying ads while I am using other applications and that type of ads are the ones that really annoy me.

If "potentially unsafe applications" and "potentially unwanted applications" were that good of options they would be enable by default when we install Eset. For example like I said before with "potentially unwanted applications" enable I wasnt even enable to install uTorrent because I keeped getting popups everytime I try to install it, I selected "clean" and that made uTorrent setup crash. When I install something I am not the type of person that installs toolbars and other programs that come in the application setup that I want to install so I dont need Eset to give me annoying poppus about toolbars that makes the setup crash. Also with "potentially unwanted applications" enable I wasnt even able to enter https://www.baixaki.com.br/ home page without getting annoying popups.

@MrWhispers For what I know you were the one that enable "potentially unsafe applications" in Eset Options because that doesnt come enable by default, also you probably decide to enable "potentially unwanted applications" during Eset Installation. I personally dont like to use "potentially unsafe applications" and "potentially unwanted applications" because these options cause a lot of annoying popups and false positives. For me this options are good if you are a person that install things without reading what you are installing, pretty much if you are a person that install things by clicking "Next" on everything without read. For example with "potentially unwanted applications" enable I wasnt able to install uTorrent because I keeped getting popups everytime I try to install it, I selected "clean" and that made uTorrent setup crash. https://support.eset.com/kb2629/?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US https://support.eset.com/kb2629/?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US

This "bug" still persists in Eset v12 for me but only happens in the first time I go to my gmail after open Google Chrome and only get it again after close and open Google Chrome again and go to my gmail. In v11 I was getting the webcam notification "bug" everytime I refresh my gmail page. Just to let the moderators know I deleted the saved webcam rule that blocked Google Chrome access to the webcam after updating to v12 but got the notification that @lvl1k0n got again after I open Google Chrome and go to my gmail, so I blocked access again. Is this "bug" gonna be fixed in a future Eset module update or we gonna have to wait for a Google Chrome update that fixes this "bug"?

The changelog for v12 is here:
