  1. ESET Internet Security shows a splash-screen at startup. Every now and then I start my browser already before the splash-screen appears, but now I wonder if that is wise. Is the system already protected at that time or does the protection start when the splash-screen is shown?
  2. After switching to pre-release updates as recommended, my problem didn't occur anymore. So Security Center Integration module 1029 seems to be the fix I needed. Today I switched back to regular updates, since Security Center Integration module 1029 is now part of that as well. Thanks ESET.
  3. I had version 1026.1 as well. Before I activated the pre-release updates, I discovered that I may have had the problem more often than I thought. Although Windows Security hadn't shown any messages, I looked at Windows Security > Settings > Manage Providers > Antivirus and it showed that ESET Security was switched off and that Windows Defender Antivirus was switched on. When will the Security Center integration module 1029 become part of the regular updates?
  4. @JozefG I don't have any experience with the pre-release channel, but I will give it a try.
  5. As I mentioned, the problem occurs (fortunately) only every now and then. I can't predict if it will happen after the next reboot or not. The logging may not be useless though, since even when the problem doesn't occur, Windows ALWAYS needs several minutes to detect the presence of ESET Internet Security. (Going to Windows Security > Settings > Manage Providers during these minutes even results in an error/warning message.) That was the reason why I didn't stop the logging immediately after the reboot. I thought it would give you a chance to find out why Windows needs that long for detecting ESET Internet Security.
  6. @Marcos I did what you asked. (See attachment.) However, after rebooting I waited a few minutes before disabling the logging, because if the problem occurs, then Windows complains not earlier than a few minutes after booting, but this time everything went well. eis_logs.zip
  7. Every now and then I get messages from Windows Security telling me that there is something wrong. Windows Security > Settings > Manage Providers > Antivirus then shows that Windows Defender Antivirus is switched on and ESET Security is switched off, but Windows Security > Settings > Manage Providers > Firewall shows that ESET Firewall is switched on and Windows Firewall is switched off. The Start screen of ESET Internet Security says that I'm protected though, and I tend to believe that. It seems to me ESET Internet Security isn't telling Windows that it's antivirus part is active. Is this a common issue? Temporarily switching off and back on of ESET's protection cures the problem, but only for once. I tried to fix things more permanently by running the following commands that I found on the internet: dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth sfc /scannow This seemed to improve things for a while, but after some time the problem popped up again. P.S. I'm using Windows 10 Home version 2004 and ESET Internet Security version 14.0.22.0.
  8. I always log on using a standard user account and I'm used to fill in the password of the adminstrator account when an UAC dialog appears. Are you saying that this isn't possible anymore?
  9. If you can do this for features, then why not do it for bugs as well? Reducing the time thresholds that the as soon as possible option of the scheduler uses when scheduled scans are missed consecutively, is very simple to do and therefore cheap. It would not fix the as soon as possible option, but it would make it much easier to accept. So I suggest you treat this proposal as a feature request and then it can be implemented soon.
  10. It would be much more logical if ESET customer care employees would watch this forum thoroughly and create support tickets themselves for everything more serious than an assumption.
  11. Using the scheduler for scans wasn't my own idea. Please see the note at the bottom of this support page. So ESET advices to scan at least once a month and the link in the note shows how to configure the scheduler for a weekly scan with "as soon as possible" option activated. That is exactly what I did when I discovered the scheduler problems. (Only for testing the scheduler I switched to daily scheduled scans.)
  12. @Marcos, why if necessary? I'm not the only person who reported scheduler problems. Also a very much appreciated forum member named @itman did. Why do I have to do something to make ESET fix a problem that was reported by several people at this forum? So ESET simply ignores the information received from customers at this forum?
  13. @Marcos It's a pity that you didn't reply. Please explain me why the scheduler of v12.2.23.0 was modified in such manner that the already existing problem became larger instead of smaller. I do understand why the scheduler may not be fixed before v14, but if that is the case, then please undo its modification of v12.2.23.0. However, an acceptable compromise could be making a similar modification as made in v12.2.23.0 but then in the opposite direction. For example: Reduce the threshold for missed daily scans, which was 23 hours and is 24 hours now, down to 4 hours. That still will not fix the scheduler completely, but it will make it much better than it is now.
  14. Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't make sense. If someone is able to increase the threshold for daily scans from 23 to 24 hours, then that person must also be able to reduce it to (almost) 0 hours. So what is the problem? You suggested that already in the other topic. Personally I don't like the command line scanner. I would prefer triggering the normal scanner from the command line, but that is a missing feature.
  15. In December I started a topic about the as soon as possible option of the scheduler. Unfortunately that topic has been closed. So I can't add any new comments. You can find the original topic here: link Apparently ESET modified the as soon as option of the scheduler of EIS version 12.2.23.0, but unfortunately the problem hasn't been fixed. Here are my findings: If consecutive scheduled daily scans can't run at the scheduled time, then the scan will only be done as soon as possible if the previous scan was at least 24 hours ago. If that is not the case yet, then EIS will wait until it is. (In previous versions the threshold was 23 hours.) If consecutive scheduled weekly scans can't run at the scheduled time, then the scan will only be done as soon as possible if the previous scan was at least 7 whole days ago, i.e. 7 times 24 hours. If that is not the case yet, then EIS will wait until it is. (In previous versions the threshold was still 6 days and 23 hours.) So ESET clearly made changes to the as soon as possible option of the scheduler, but unfortunately the problem hasn't been fixed. As soon as possible still isn't as soon as possible for the scheduler of EIS version 12.2.23.0. In fact, it became worse. Users now have to wait an additional hour before a missed scan is finaly executed. ESET, please try again!
  16. @Sammo Why do you think it is protected after renaming?
  17. As soon as possible may mean as soon as possible for ESET, but certainly not for EIS. So now ESET knows what to do: Make as soon as possible also mean as soon as possible for EIS by removing the unwanted thresholds (23 hours for daily tasks and 6 days and 23 hours for weekly tasks) from the scheduler. I'm looking forward to version 12.2...
  18. Indeed, I think that this is exactly what ESET intended with the scheduler. So weekly is considered much more important than the configured day and time. It would be nice if our ESET representative would confirm that. So the main thing that is wrong is naming the option "as soon as possible", because that is certainly not what it does.
  19. Support ticket? Why? What is the use of this forum if you don't use it as input for improving your products? Both itman and I gave enough information for any decent software tester to find out what is wrong. Besides, some of the behavior seems very deliberate. (For example the 23 hours or the 6 days and 23 hours.) Personally I think the scheduler does what was intented by the programmers. So probably it is no bug but a misunderstood feature. This forum could be very helpful explaining customers why the product behaves the way it does and what the intentions of the programmers were. Why don't you do that?
  20. Here some more results: If consecutive scheduled daily scans can't run at the scheduled time, then the scan will only be done as soon as possible if the previous scan was at least 23 hours ago. If that is not the case yet, then EIS will wait until it is. If consecutive scheduled weekly scans can't run at the scheduled time, then the scan will only be done as soon as possible if the previous scan was at least 6 days and 23 hours ago. If that is not the case yet, then EIS will wait until it is. In my opinion this is not how it should be! For example: A scan is scheduled to run every Monday at 00:00:00, but it doesn't get the chance to run at that time. The computer isn't booted any earlier than Wednesday 20:00:00, but almost directly after booting the missed scan is executed. The next week again there is no chance to run the scan at the scheduled time, but now the computer is booted on Monday at 08:00:00. I would expect the scan to run then almost directly after booting, because it is scheduled to run every Monday at 00:00:00 and in this case 08:00:00 is as soon as possible, but instead EIS decides to wait until Wednesday 19:00:00, which is 6 days and 23 hours after the previous scan. In other words, if there is never a chance to run the scan at the scheduled time, then it will take many weeks to get the scan running on Monday again, because the time will only be advanced 1 hour a week.
  21. Also in my case this solved the problem. Thanks! It is quite a coincidence though, that both TomFace's computer scan log and mine stopped working in the beginning of April.
  22. Isn't all outgoing traffic allowed in automatic mode? Can I simply add a rule or do I have to put it above the predefined rules? The order of the rules is important, isn't it? I do want the app; I just don't want it calling home.
  23. Many years I used the firewall's interactive mode, but now Windows 10 apps keep moving to new folders with every update, that became too much hassle to continue. Therefore I switched to automatic mode. However, I would like to block network traffic of a specific app. Is that possible in automatic mode?
  24. In my case every entry in the log corresponds with one file in C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET Security\Logs\eScan. So scheduled scans that ran but did not appear in the log, don't have a file in C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET Security\Logs\eScan.
