Now that all my settings are set to "aggressive" do you think ESET would detect Screencollect if it showed up on my PC?

Thanks for the directions. My PUA was off. All the other settings are "balanced."

Sorry for my typing error. Yes, I meant Screenconnect. Maybe my ESET product does not have the settings that you mentioned? I can't find setting references to PUA and suspicious applications.

Recently I came very close to being taken by PayPal scammers. Before I wised up they installed Screencollect on my PC. Later an ESET scan did not find this program evidently because it is a legitimate program used by some folks. I will never need to install Screencollect or any other programs like it that scammers use. Is there a blacklist of such programs that I can force ESET to find and quarantine?

Does my ESET Smart Security provide the same protection as does the Malwarebytes anti-exploit premium product?

While surfing the Internet today I caught the ICE Cyber Crime Center malware thing. This is the one that locks your computer and wants you to send $300 to unlock it. Why did my ESET not keep this thing out of my computer? Got rid of it by booting in SAFE mode with networking and running MalwareBytes. Is it possible the malware wiped out my Windows system restore capability? When I called up system restore it told me that no restore points were available. Very strange. I'm sure that I had system restore enabled before this event.
