You can read the whole info here hxxp://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/329506-bsod-while-browsing-one-torrent-background.htmlI'm posting here to ask for confirmation if what he said are true, I can't say to him if he can confirm if its true that would be rude for him trying to help.
I have also read this hxxp://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/ehdrv-sys-causing-stop-f4-bsod-buggy-driver.332017 (tl;dr ESET not admitting any part of the blame) so that worries me a little. -
Has anyone experienced this? Does it have a significant reduction in performance?
I know someone would answer like "never run two Antivirus software together"
My explanation would be something like from this guy:or view it from this link https://forum.eset.com/topic/1714-eset-and-malwarebytes-comparison/Good evening my friends,
I have recently seen an abundance of questions regarding the usage of Malwarebytes and ESET together.
The old history of IT world has always been, never run two Antivirus software together.
The two big points regarding this are 1. Your system will slow down due to large amounts of resources given to protection software. 2. Its possible that real time scanning of the two might cause system halts landing on the same file or preventing execution together.
Some of the general pop. have experienced some concern with Malwarebytes possibly finding remnants or certain objects that ESET skipped or has not been added to their database. In my personal opinion of this, and i alone in this theory would like to answer with the possibility that Malwarebytes might have a larger index of Potentially Unwanted Applications then ESET, coupled with the strong registry object scans that Malwarebytes uses; and its a recipe for cleaning and not so much on the side of a payload file or main executable and/or service that is wreaking havoc. In my observations of finding 14 threats all with similar names and titles, Malwarebytes cleans and removes all files associated with the malware, including the registry entries corresponding.
I would like to share the following link for cleaning up Unwanted Software that ESET might not find, or decided was not software they felt made it into the blacklist of the VSD's.
Malware Removal Guides and Self Help Guides
On ESET's behalf i do feel that their database for Potentially Unwanted Applications is growing everyday.
The main reason for this guide is to make known that Malwarebytes is an Anti-Malware software solution, that covers a broad area of software that may potentially cause your computer harm, however it is not a Security Software nor an Antivirus solution that could be considered the only protection you use. The company has stated numerous times that its a solution that was built to be installed and ran along side your security protection.
ESET - Antivirus / Security software suite
Malwarebytes - Antimalware software
I would like to also include wiki's list of Antivirus software. Malwarebytes is not included in the list, and i can only speculate why its not. List of Antivirus protection.
As short and sweet as i can be, i don't run ESET without MBAM, and i would not run MBAM without ESET either.
They work together great for what we call layered protection.
Although Malwarebytes doesnt have a few things ESET has like Anti-phishing, or Rootkit detection they do still research and attempt preventative measures.
They have an Anti Exploit program. A rootkit program.
A Blog page similar to WeLiveSecurity.
Online Backup Solutions
They also have Endpoint and Enterprise Business platforms too.
Now for the comparison chart, which is aimed at Only the Home version of Nod32 vs Malwarebytes Free
Smart Security vs Malwarebytes PRO
The differences are from what i know publicly and what is built into the apps alone. Any corrections that should or need to be made will be made just PM me. This is simply to suggest it would not be a great idea to dismiss ESET and expect the same amount of protection without it.

Computer Protection Comparison Chart
Windows Operating Systems
ESET – Security & Antivirus Software- (est. 1992): ESET's first product was NOD, an antivirus software for computers running msdos. In 1998, ESET introduced NOD32 1.0 for Windows, with version 2.0 following in 2003. It is now 2014 and ESET continues to provide protection in a number of environments including mobile and social. ESET has everything from firewall protection to server and gateway protection. Parental controls, cloud and live-grid protection, even OSX protection. ESET should be categorized as a Security company with security software, not antivirus protection alone.
Malwarebytes – Anti-malware Software- (est. 2004): MBAM claims to find malware that many other anti-virus and anti-spyware programs miss, including rogue security software, adware , and spyware. MBAM scans in batch mode, rather than scanning all files opened, reducing interference if on-demand anti-virus software is also running on the computer. The paid version can perform scheduled scans, automatically scan files when opened, block IP addresses of malicious web sites, and quickly scan only open services, programs and device drivers. Malwarebytes is categorized as an anti-malware software alone.
Except my main concern is only about "ESET NOD32 Antivirus 7" and "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium" running together, so forget the ESET Security and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware free.
My main concern is if it has noticeable reduction in system performance when running the two together? -
Do you suggest on using pre-release updades? Im just at home and its not a work laptop, Im asking for your experience and theories, cause in comparison to Malwarebytes free it has updates every hour on average and Nod 32 has an update every 2~3 hours sometimes even after I sleep then wake in the morning update then nothing updates. I was thinking they've got to release updates in bulk but average I see are 30~50 Kb lets say 2 hours since last update. In fact sometimes its 50% chance that it dont have updates in the next 2~3 hours.
I kinda know how fast you release updates cause I manually update. Great software BTW!
My greatest concern is maybe some data in pre-releases makes my internet slow or has greater resources needed. -
I would like to know the location, I am experimenting with Regular Update and Pre-release update, and I notice it replaces the whole 48,000+ KB virus signature database file whatever, my question is does switching generates dump/dmp files or temporary/tmp files?
-
When I manually update "The virus signature database" I usually see "6 kB / 0 kB" and the loading bar for a split second when its updating.
about 2~3 hours ago when I update "The virus signature database" it sometimes shows a loading bar on the "Product Update" for a split second I think its like 0.1~0.2 seconds. to reproduce the bug I just click to update the signature, sometimes it does that sometimes it doesn't
my question is, Is it just me?
I'm not sure if this would help but it happened after a like a 4k+ Signature update around 3 hours ago.
-
Nod32 already has firewall characteristics, like blocking bad email, preventing certain malware websites from connection, protocol filtering and the new phishing setup.
As an AV only user, i am gratefull ESET has extended these features. It may even be a reel-in tactic to get me to purchase ESS instead of Nod32. I think its cool and funny, yet very helpful.
I would'nt want to try and sneak around and make my nod32 use the firewall features. They have already done it halfway with a few dll's and the additional cost for ESET Smart Security is minimul.
Hard work should pay off !
I'm an IT so I know what I'm doing, I'm just asking because I want some very specific file/app/exe to not to try to update/add load to my internet connection.
I am grateful for the gesture of trying to help thou.
@Marocs
Did the above statement made it any clearer? or the answers are just the same as on post #2?
I think your answering like I want to block a website on a browser, I want to block a file/app/exe from connecting to a specific something like an address update.adobe.com, but not block it from running.
I hope I made it any clearer.
Thanks
I am very grteful for the help! -
Like Smart Security has an obvious firewall option I think I can experiment to make it work, but just asking if anybody knows how exactly.
like adding a IP or web address in the host file preventing any connections to the internet. -
Smart scan seems nice but in my experience smart scan are targeting specific areas.
Thanks! -

Will test with disabling protection via system tray then "Temporary disable protection" I will edit this after test
Edit: Well, its still in the 150 ping -
10/10/2013 9:17:57 PM
D:\Mel\Fun\LeagueofLegends\Apps\lolph\lol.exe
Get access to another application
C:\Windows\System32\csrss.exe
some access blocked
SelfDefense: Do not allow modification of system processes / Protect ekrn and egui processes
Terminate/suspend another application,Modify state of another application
I have already I think "exclude" lol.exe from HIPS scanning/firewall/monitoring. but a log still shows, I think its ok if its "ekrn and egui processes", but other neccessary components, cause I'm getting lower FPS, at start of the game its 250, then later it became 150 and fluctuates about 10 ping more/less, I think this is when HIPS is kicking in.
heres my HIPS setting, I think I should check more?
-
I think there is another notification that I accidentally turned on, but still don't want to turn off the default notification(s).
I think I have turned on another additional notification added to the default notifications.
I think I have turned an option that has a word "Logs" in it, is that it?

As u can see in my picture HIPS is blocking lol.exe, its a game league of legends, it always run for the past 3 years, do you know how to like make it trust it?
-
What are the settings for least impact on the internet?
don't mind much for browser stuff when I play League of Legends(garena), it spiked to 800 ping, average 650 and it goes up and down there.
also, is there a way to know what things/apps/registries/everything that are using the internet? and w/c takes the most load?
also when I run League of legends.exe(or leagueoflegends.exe) it closes and no signs of why it closed and I successfully played 2 games with ESET nod32 AV w/ full protection on before, I dont know why it closes now, how to set trusted apps/programs anyway, the exclusion option here is I think for scanning only to not include it on scanning?
tl;dr: what are the settings for the least impact on the internet?
is there a tracker for things that uses internet?
the game League of Legends closes, like being closed by task manager, is there like a trusted apps or dont track this game option?
Edit: or does HIPS have something to do with it?
Edit: I think I know what the problem is.
why is the pic viewable only in the editor? hxxp://i.imgur.com/K9ECSZW.png

When I click something that it uses its website it sends me to eset.com/au
what if I dont want to be sent there what if I want it to be us(or USA or United States)?
Thank you for your understanding!

I used two apps for generating Memory Dump/Mini Dump if they are the same.
One was from SF_Diagnostic_Tool from sevenforums.com
One from PCHF from pchelpforum.com
Sry a bit late I did everything as fast as I could.
I think I found the MEMORY.DMP but its 745 MB so cannot upload its beyond the limit allowable upload.
