  1. I chose the new "Secure All Browsers"

    When I opened the browser today it opened my regular Chrome windows and not the stand alone Secure Chrome window.
    I had no access to all my banking/creditcard/webbrokers bookmarks.

    Never in my widest dreams did I think choosing Secure All Browsers was going to:
    1. Not still have the nice feature of a seperate secure chrome window
    2. Not have access to all your Bookmarks

    What an inconvenience, and no warning of this would happen.

    To revert back or turn this feature on or off its under Setup/SecurityTools/ Secure All Browsers
    If you turn it back off it will revert back to how it was.

    It's too bad we couldn't have the best of both worlds as I like having it separate.

    If you are ok without the separate Secure Browser Window then here is how to get/merge your bookmarks.

    The simple advanced user method (not detailed)
    Turn off the Secure All Browsers in Setup/SecurityTools/ Secure All Browsers
    Open your Secure Browser and export your bookmarks
    Close the Secure Browser
    Turn Secure browser back on
    Import you bookmarks from Bookmarks/Bookmark Manager - DO NOT select "Import Bookmarks and Settings"


    Here is another way novice way and does not require you to turn Secure All Browsers on or off:
     
    This procedure was done for Chrome on  Win 10 64 Pro

    Step 1
    Close Chrome

    Step 2
    Created a new folder in Documents "ESET Bookmarks"

    Step 3
    In File Explorer go to C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET Smart Security\OPP\S-1-5-21-4292647954-680486543-2982522831-1001\EsetOPPChromeProfile\Default  

    For Firefox it might be: 

    C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET Smart Security\OPP\S-1-5-21-4292647954-680486543-2982522831-1001\EsetOPPChromeProfile\bookmarkbackups

    Step 4
    Copy "Bookmarks" file to your new folder in Documents

    Step 5
    Rename "Bookmarks" to anything such as "BookmarksESET"

    Step 6
    Copy "BookmarksESET" and paste it into C:\Users\YourHandle\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

    Step 7
    Rename the existing "Bookmarks" to "BookmarksOLD" 
    Then rename = "BookmarksESET" to "Bookmarks"

    Step 8 
    Open Crome

    Step 9
    Press those 3 dots top right and Export Bookmarks, save the file in that new folder you created in Documents.

    Step 10
    Close Chrome

    Step 11
    Go back to C:\Users\YourHandle\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

    Step 12
    Rename "Bookmarks" to "BookmarksESET" 
    Then rename "BookmarksOLD" to "Bookmarks"
    Reversing what you had done earlier

    Step 13
    Open Crome

    Step 14
    Press those 3 dots top right and go to Bookmarks/Bookmark Manager 
    DO NOT select "Import Bookmarks and Settings"

    Step 15
    Press those 3 dots top right and go to Import Bookmarks
    choose the exported html file you did from the new folder you created in Documents
    This will create a folder called Imported, your shorcuts will be in there.

    Step 16
    Press those 3 dots top right and go to Bookmarks/Bookmark Manager
    You will see the Imported folder, inside that is the Bookmarks folder, move the bookmark files to your desired location.

    Fini
     

  2. Unlike SCR's post you are quoting I do not have Chrome installed on my other PC so we now know it's not Chrome on that PC inbound to mine.

    I have just installed Chrome on this PC so have not really played with settings yet.

     

    I ran these commands to see if I can pin point anything:

    netstat -p UDP -a -o  | find "5353"
    To list items/IP that are using 5353
    
    netstat -abno
    To list all ports that are listening
    
    

    I am fining these items listening or using port 5353 :

    mDNSResponder.exe - Bonjour Service 

    nvcontainer.exe - Nvidia Container

    chrome.exe - Chrome

    svchost.exe - Bonjour Service 

     

    and on the other PC

    ekrn.exe - Eset Service

     

    Getting close!

     

    Thanks for the responses so far.

     

     

     

     

  3. Solved!

    When I ran the shortcut "ESET Banking & Payment protection" it would open a new instance of Firefox which did not have any of my normal bookmarks. 

    I was able to save all my bank, credit, stock sites etc in that browser so when I ran the shorcut again it would have those saved bookmarks.

     

    I had read this thread (thanks to Iota) before but I had foolishly ignored the comment in bold:

    On other HDDs if you want to retrieve it's on:

    \ProgramData\ directory

     

    Indeed, it was there but should have read as "On other OS's" perhaps.

    My Win10 64 location for the web browser profiles:

    C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET Smart Security\OPP\S-1-5-21-12345678etc\

    Shows both Firefox and Chrome profile folders

    In Chrome the bookmark file is located: /default/Bookmarks

    In Firefox the bookmark file is located:  /bookmarkbackups & choose the last auto saved file.

    I have just found out in testing wondering why Microsoft profiles did not exist is that Microsoft Edge or IE do not segregate the Secure Banking and normal browsing like Firefox and Chrome do.

    For anyone having issues with windows settings trying to set a browser as a default on Win10 Pro 64 then option 6 worked for me.

     

    Cheers

  4.  

    Eset firewall pop-up : Google Chrome is trying to communicate with a remote site

    The problem is the IP address of the remote computer is another PC on my network.

    If I deny there is no internet access for Chrome.

    I do not have this issue with IE, Edge or Firefox

    Why does it pick this other PC to access the internet when my PC is already connected?

    Thanks
