Please ignore. I've since discovered that this file copy and stall occurs to a FreeNAS box running no AV. Looks like it's McAfee on the endpoints causing the issue. Thanks, Matthew

I have eset file security (6.5.12017.0) on a 2012 server, and McAfee Endpoint security (10.6) on a Windows 10 box. If I try to copy a one line text file from the client to the server it stalls for around 10 seconds. I can't see any massive CPU spikes on either client or server, procmon offers no help either. If I disable on-access scanning at either the server, or the client the copy is instantaneous. Copying from the server to the client is also instantaneous. Copying a larger file from client to server has the 10 second initial delay then copies at a usual rate. If anyone can shed any light on what else I can try to track the issue down, I'd be most grateful. Also if you have a machine that you can test and reproduce the issue that would be helpful too. Many thanks, Matt

Ok I'll continue to submit samples via email. I suspect that I had so many false positives at first because I scanned for old files and folders from around 2008 so as not to disturb my current users. I'm now scanning more recent stuff and haven't (yet) had another false positive. Thanks, Matthew

Thanks for the quick reply. I have several PDFs that have links in them, which are not phishing links, but which trigger ESET. For example please see the attached PDFs in a zip file. I'd prefer not to have to exclude all pdf's by file type. Matthew

Hi All, I'm currently trailing Eset File Security for Windows, and it seems to be picking up a lot of my user's PDF files as PDF/Phishing.A.Gen. It looks like ESET is just flagging them because they've got an embedded link which might lead to a phishing site? Is it possible to turn off this one single detection? Thanks, Matthew
