Hi folks;
About a week ago, my ESET antivirus suddenly decided that it couldn't access the update server. last update was on 10/12/16.
I have checked firewalls and adware / malware programs, and the program has access through these. I have not installed any new software for some months. I have never experienced this issue previously. I have also run a full antivirus scan, with no issues being reported.
In addition, I have begun getting the message that HIPS is inactive, and the "user rules fle contains invalid data" with the additional note that HIPS cannot access the driver.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate (yeah, I know...) 16G Ram, 64 bit system, i7 CPU with all the latest updates installed. ESET version 9.0.408.0 installed.
My ESET licence is valid until the 09/10/17.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
