@Carlos Araujo, "The MachineKeys folder stores certificate pair keys for both the computer and users. Both Certificate services and Internet Explorer use this folder." , I don't think those certificates got to do anything with the ransomware which whether it was WannaCry or Gamma one

To know what apps are installed on your PC through terminal in Linux you can use these commands depending on the dist that you do use : Aptitude-based distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, etc): dpkg -l RPM-based distributions (Fedora, RHEL, etc): rpm -qa pkg*-based distributions (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, etc): pkg_info Portage-based distributions (Gentoo, etc): equery list or eix -I pacman-based distributions (Arch Linux, etc): pacman -Q Cygwin: cygcheck --check-setup --dump-only * Slackware: slapt-get --installed For Mac take a look here : hxxp://osxdaily.com/2015/05/25/list-all-applications-mac-os-x/ Is that what you are looking for?

@Marcos , But still like the Eternal Blue which was exploited by the NSA , It was an exploit that was found and been used by the NSA for a good time while Microsoft was never able to realize that they have this security exploit in their systems, still the NSA never reported about the exploit until it was leaked and used by hackers. What could protect the user from something like this?

Netbook Screen Resolution & ESET V12
Nightowl replied to simplicissimus's topic in ESET NOD32 Antivirus
My mistake , I have only tried to resize the GUI of Linux v4 and it works , I thought it would be the same for v12 , I don't have Windows machine near me to test. -

@simplicissimus, Can you manually resize ESET Window to fit your screen? -
Can Not Enable Web Access Protection
Nightowl replied to Rudolph Thomas's topic in ESET NOD32 Antivirus
Try to uninstall ESET using ESET Uninstaller https://support.eset.com/kb2289/?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US And then re-install and see if it makes any differences. -
Smart Security Upgrade Question
Nightowl replied to itman's topic in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
I understand this @TomFace, I know that it's up to them what to name their product , as I also was using ESET Smart Security and then switched to Internet Security due to their naming , but them renaming to Security made me think that they might rename ESET Smart Security Premium also , it's only my opinion -
Smart Security Upgrade Question
Nightowl replied to itman's topic in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
When installing V12 , ESET gets renamed to ESET Security , I think in the future we will have ESET Security and then ESET Security Premium which should replace the ESET Smart Security. -
Smart Security Upgrade Question
Nightowl replied to itman's topic in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
They are almost identical to eachother , ESS just have Password Manager and Secure Data over Internet Security. -

Scheduled Scans
Nightowl replied to Aryeh Goretsky's topic in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
It's not that big deal in my opinion @nonamelab, It's a way to bring more people to use ESET and in the same time giving the person who invited the other person who doesn't use ESET , a month of usage or more I don't remember exactly. -
upgrade
Nightowl replied to Felix Yaroshevsky's topic in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
I am afraid there is no upgrade solution in ESET , unless Admins can give you some kind of upgrade solution, you need to buy license for Internet Security if you want to use it. -
router question
Nightowl replied to hdx1337's topic in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
Then it's all okay , your router runs normal ports like 80 which is used for http , and 67 for DHCP and 1900 for uPnP. Although uPnP is not recommended to be enabled but it's okay as far as I know. -
updates download
Nightowl replied to jems's topic in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
ESET does still after v12 upgrade will check automatically for updates , is that what you are worried about? -

ccsetup548 detected as 'Suspicious Object'
Nightowl replied to Nightowl's topic in Malware Finding and Cleaning
Nope I didn't come across the news or did read about it anywhere , Haha reading both posts made me remove CCleaner , indeed it was a surprise that's why I was surprised about ESET detecting it as Suspicious Object, but it's a shock , a big AntiVirus company like Avast still cannot detect a malware in one of their programs. or even detect that there was something suspicious in the behavior of the software 2 millions infected machines is a huge number! That's why I prefer Linux over Windows , atleast you don't need to defrag and clean Registry and all of that crazy things Windows will throw at you while you use it with the time. -
I have no trouble here with ESET and Steam , What are you trying to do while ESET is blocking Steam?

ccsetup548 detected as 'Suspicious Object'
Nightowl replied to Nightowl's topic in Malware Finding and Cleaning
@TomFace, The hack sounds crazy indeed , I was shocked that even though that the company is acquired by Avast , still got infected by several malware levels. , infecting 2 millions PCs among them, but I still use it from time to time to clean Registry that's why , actually I didn't really know that it was hacked , I was surprised. -
ccsetup548 detected as 'Suspicious Object'
Nightowl replied to Nightowl's topic in Malware Finding and Cleaning
As far as I believe and remember correctly I can't test it again , but ESET do block websites/prevent communications in PaleMoon also PaleMoon is built on Firefox source if that might make any hint. -
ccsetup548 detected as 'Suspicious Object'
Nightowl replied to Nightowl's topic in Malware Finding and Cleaning
I didn't know about it honestly , but that was a good read if you are interested : https://blog.avast.com/update-ccleaner-attackers-entered-via-teamviewer Are you sure that ESET doesn't filter PaleMoon? , but I don't think that matters , because the first block happened while the browser was trying to save the file , It didn't filter the website , but it did block the executable from being on the PC -
Hello, CCleaner is a trusted software as far as I know and it doesn't do any harm , could it be a false positive or my other computer did act up? I've tried both times on different PCs , but each PC gave a different result Laptop I have tried to download CCleaner and ESET has detected it as 'Suspicious Object' and blocked the download from being completed using Chrome and Edge, I have restored it from Quarantine , and I have installed it and ESET didn't warn me again about it after Restoring from Quarantine , and no I didn't exclude it. PC I have tried the download using PaleMoon , and it worked without any trouble without ESET blocking it Both computers do use 12.0.27.0 Internet Security.

Uninstall the device and remove driver files , and then install the one that you have downloaded from AMD site and see if it makes any differences
