I would go against turning off your AV/Security Product, By using uBlock/uMatrix(uMatrix is different than Adblockers) it won't put ESET aside , but they will act before , because they will prevent the script to load , then ESET won't block it because it didn't load from the first place(was blocked by uBlock if it's ad or was blocked as script by uMatrix)

From Setup > Network > Troubleshooting Wizard After clicking the Wizard , do you see any blocked attempts logged in there ?

But detection here is different , the page is loaded with a script that is being stopped by ESET You can add uBlock Origin maybe it could help block the malicious script so ESET will stop detecting it because uBlock didn't load it/blocked it uMatrix , you can control which parts can load specifically in the website.

I am not into laws exactly , but could be that where they are selling this product , could be ESET has done something or changes to it , anyway it's not misleading , still it is the antivirus you want , and still it's light and compatible for gaming because it's light , and it has the gamer mode which will silent the AV and prevent it from scanning/downloading updates till you get out of your full-screen application And just to clarify , I don't work for ESET , I am just a user.

It also contacts those : It redirects to malicious websites and can possibly download a ZIP that contains malicious files https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/3ad8fc3d92361f7b336d63b2c16fdde055f1e7fdfc11c968790a2640040802c8/600e6918965bf30ad47bfb19

Are you getting any kind of block messages from ESET? The website loads as a whitepage while JS is blocked, it tries to load 2 scripts , try changing your DNS to 1.1.1.1 for example and see if it makes any difference with loading the website Anyway I don't like the website , I didn't allow the JS to load. Still according to Hybrid-Analysis website is suspicious https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/3ad8fc3d92361f7b336d63b2c16fdde055f1e7fdfc11c968790a2640040802c8/600e6918965bf30ad47bfb19

You are welcome

It is only a marketing name , it is still the same NOD32 Antivirus which includes a Gamer Mode once you enter a full-screen application.

Normally a crack would have been classified as PUA (potentially unwanted application) , but since most of the detections are going for a Trojan Dropper name , I would rather avoid that file and remove it.

I am just joking , but you can go ahead with ITman's method , which is disabling the Internet Adapter from Windows

You can also block internet activity through ESET Firewall Or have the best way , unplug the cable

Those are the links of the ZIP Archive and DLL file https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/2138091055ad48988e5b94a6ca95663ef715dbd36893e59d71269318bcf7aeb5/detection https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/976af19ce19cd9dc4ff6fd7cb580c16fac25c046ad9fd529bf50451db6032727/detection And according to BleepingComputer , The forum was breached through that vulnerability : https://www.acunetix.com/vulnerabilities/web/vbulletin-5-6-1-nodeid-sql-injection/

Do you mean like having the ability to switch Permissions for specific Folders through ESET?

That vulnerability can be added to a malware so it can cause problems or damage More info about it can be found here also : https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/windows-10-bug-crashes-your-pc-when-you-access-this-location/

As your other account is password protected most probably , when you sign into the Phantom Account , this happens : ---

You need to send it as described here https://support.eset.com/en/kb141-submit-a-virus-website-or-potential-false-positive-sample-to-the-eset-lab

It will be only possible to manage it through terminal or a security center which most people won't have I tried to install it but it failed to run on my Linux unfortunately.

I don't think so as you would need a business license to activate it And it's managed through terminal or EMSC

Windows Defender AV will be able to pick it up also if it's not disabled by the malware Here it's described how you can remove the virus manually through safemode : https://medium.com/@beckylongman2015/how-to-remove-trojan-win32-skeeyah-a-bit-completely-283cf8edbc77

V4 should be considered as an obsolete software that is no longer maintained but only receive signature updates It's not an antivirus to rely on with newest malware techniques , I believe it can be considered as a scanner only. Endpoint product should work better as it's new developed but still it lacks GUI.

Windows will try to download Office files automatically , once you click it I think it will continue downloading , or they will give you a very basic version of it so you will pay for it later. If you are suspicious about specific files you can always upload them to VT or something like this.

Your license will cover the product upgrades that ESET provides , as long as it's still active , you will be able to download update and product upgrades ESET Staff will probably request logs to determine the reason for this spike, but as a restart has fixed it probably something got stuck.

As far as I know there isn't an option to exclude an plug-in or permit a plug-in to work along the BPP, but I am not sure what I have said is from my imagination , but most likely it's like this BPP prevents other plug-ins from running

I believe Bank Protection prevent any other plug-ins/extensions from running along it , as other plug-ins might be malicious and be able to steal some data.

For extra information about windows updating, You can use the Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB edition which doesn't feature update frequently as Home and Pro edition. --- From myESET account you can switch off license seats and assign them to another computers.
