Yesterday my ESS got a "client update please restart" notification..... after that restart the whole PC went haywire.
Mostly my internet connection kept dying (this actually started before the actual restart). And I was unable to disable and re-enable the adapter in "network connection".... it just plain did not respond. If I try this and log off I get a error message telling me it cannot be disabled (forget the actual message). BUT then the PC hangs on restart forcing me to use the reset switch. Then I started noticing that after ESS loads half my apps refuse to either start or end, even using task manager to kill something does not work. And eventually even my start menu stopped working. Eventually I booted into safe mode and uninstalled ESS and rebooted..... No problems whatsoever.
from event viewer at the time of uninstall "Windows Installer requires a system restart. Product Name: ESET Smart Security. Product Version: 10.1.219.0. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: ESET, spol. s r.o.. Type of System Restart: 1. Reason for Restart: 0."
Looking at the forums I see that EIS supplanted ESS (having received absolutely no notification of this it was a complete surprise). Is this exclusively a ESS problem?
