AMD uses this probably to determine if your GPU/CPU is able to run the game properly , or receives some kind of information for the game configuration from sysreqlab

It would be much useful to know that the RDP is being brute-forced , and much more if the attempts would be blocked till the user apply any kind of other prevention like firewall or changing password or account lock-out.

This is very interesting and I like this , and I do believe also that this will come to consumer product also. It's also good for RDS servers(file server) where you can put the setting to aggressive mode , because many people who just use RDP , don't know what they are doing actually.

It's now detected by ESET : Win32/Filecoder.NZG In my opinion what needs to be improved is the machine learning and HIPS , but I am not expert like those who program at ESET for sure , also as SeriousHoax said , Application Manager and Reputation(rep is already there) , to be combined with everything , so the AI could try to decide if this app is trying to do malicious things or it's not. But I could be mistaken , I don't know , but also as ITman said , nothing is 100% safe.

Did you test it ? and had different results? (I'm just curious to know)

Wondering if Smart makes any differences , Policy / Interactive should prompt you for allowing or denying the actions I think. , I never tried.

Was HIPS set to Automatic or Smart?

I think it's because he copied and pasted from another link , recently malwarebytes have lost it's reputation that it built time ago , I stopped trusting them , for security products I would go for 3 of these , ESET , Kaspersky , HitmanPro(as a second opinion scanner)

I understand , thank you for the information my friend.

So it does sandbox the file and run it inside and see what is result? and then determine the file?

Do you think your computer has been infected somehow ? , so it could be a malware that attempted to remove ESET and corrupt everything? Did you try to see with ESET Online Scanner https://www.eset.com/int/home/online-scanner/ If some malware is hiding inside your PC?

I remember when it used to be a registry entry , one line would disable the whole protection..

I understand that , XP is obsolete these days. , but I understand that you have some needs that is why you stick with this system.

It's much recommended to move on from Windows XP , to some Windows that is currently supported by Microsoft.

Does the Anti-Tamper really do it's job ? or it's just a name?

Yes and it might hurt the image of the AV company even though he doesn't explain exactly how his test is done , and what has been disabled and what not, it's right what you say my friend.

Yes indeed but he gives the AVs a different test from different perspective even though he disabled some layers to get them inside the computer and then ran them while realtime is running , he somehow in someway , tests how much powerful is the real-time protection. not overall the security solution

Yes I understand but sometimes you have cases where the files that you do are private to the company that you work with and it's hard to upload them for analyzing , but I understand it's bad for the AI system , same to what happened to Kaspersky and the American gov went crazy about it and blamed them for stealing data , while their AV saw that some files are suspicious and sent it to their AI. I know it's so important to get files sent by users , because that will make the system stronger and more accurate and faster.

You can also disable sending of files to ESET

It's the same thing of disabling the multi-layer protection that the AV is having , but still Windows Defender doesn't do good without it's cloud , although one of the videos Windows Defender missed lot of threats , including one from Windows XP days that would give you the same error message over and over.

As far as I remember , Kaspersky has done the best among all. But honestly for me I don't really care , I am happy with ESET , and if bad things will happen , it will happen even if Zeus himself is protecting my computer. The best security practice is to disconnect the PC from network

Yes because Antivirus companies will tell you that you have disabled some features that could have blocked the threats before they start to run in the system , as web protection for example , so some layers have been disabled in order to run the test, But the crazy thing about this test or this guy , that he unleash lot of threats at the same time at the AV , it's sometimes funny to watch other products how they cripple with something like this, including Windows Defender and somekind of other security products that claim that it will protect your system , there are many more videos like this who do the testing. It's not funny that the antivirus fails , but it is funny that the advertising campaign that will be ran by the AV company will claim that it will protect your infrastructure , till you get hit by something Honestly for me , since NOD32 v2 , I never had to change any antivirus product , even though sometimes I wanted to give others a try , but I just can't go away , it's so light and efficient , it doesn't matter if the product doesn't protect 100% , because nothing is safe 100% , But it's so bad when a product claims to protect you like Windows Defender , and let your PC get encrypted by a malware , or somekind of very old virus not to be detected (Not windows defender but can't remember which company and which video) and corrupt your system. It's always better to have multi-layer protection.

Ok I will tag @Marcos and @MartinK , one of them should be able to help you.

They probably should come with a reply , sometimes they answer a little bit late , but an answer will come for sure , if you need an urgent answer , you can contact your local ESET support , they can assist you.

I believe you can make a default policy from the ESMC and apply it to all computers , but I don't know if that fixes your password problem , I believe I will leave that to someone from ESET Staff Team that works with Endpoints.
