If i uninstall ESET it doesn't happen so I know that's the issue. :-( It seems to do it a LOT less if I update to 6.6.2046 but I'm having other issue with that!

I have two issue and I'm hoping to solve one with the other. I have been auditing my fileserver access (with a product called FileServer+ from ManageEngine). It is throwing up a lot of READ DENY but from machine accounts rather than user accounts. On closer inspection it would seem that ESET is reaching out roughly every 3 minutes and trying to look at and the target of any shortcuts the user currently has visible in Windows Explorer mostly the Desktop. So I have two solutions to this, find out how to stop ESET from scanning the shortcuts. I have already disabled the scanning of mapped drives but I'm reluctant to exclude the entire fileserver path as more scanning can only be a good thing. The other solution would be to run the ESET service using a domain based service account that has rights to the shares on the server but I don't know how to change the service. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Dave

I'm tightening up the web security at our business. I started by implementing Protocol filtering (regular and SSL) and web control. I've moved on to add a squid proxy server (nothing to do with ESET) on our gateway and then blocking direct outbound access from the clients. When I do this ESET's SSL filtering breaks SSL connections in Internet Explorer, interestingly Chrome still works. If I allow direct access to the following addresses outbound through the firewall.... proxy-detection.eset.com 38.90.226.28 91.228.166.91 91.228.167.91 the SSL filtering works again. I found this out by monitoring the gateway firewall logs. I suppose my question is.... is there any way to proxy these connections and/or shouldn't these checks be done by or through the local remote administration server? I hope this makes some sense, Cheers, Dave.
