    @planet you might want to read this: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/apple/apple-releases-security-updates-for-spectre-cpu-flaw/

    Supposedly, Apple has only patched the Meltdown exploit and not the Spectre one as far as macOS 10.13.2 goes . The test I posted is for Spectre.

    The update appeared just now, and I've installed it. I then ran the test again in both Firefox and Safari (as this update apparently patches both macOS and Safari), and both browsers still showed the message in the test. I'm not using NoScript in Firefox, and version 57.0.4 apparently patched Spectre... https://github.com/hannob/meltdownspectre-patches

    Is this test valid for my configuration? Surely these updates I've got now that apparently addressed both Spectre and Meltdown are meant to stop that test from showing me that message?

    If you see the wording "The Magic Words are Squeamish Ossifrage" in the displayed output, your browser cache data can be intercepted. [...] the above test will fail - hopefully that is. Ditto for the current release of FireFox or if its "noscript" extension is enabled.

    Somewhat off topic, but interestingly on macOS 10.13.2 and Firefox 57.0.4, that test didn't fail and I saw those words. Apparently both 10.13.2 and 57.0.4 were versions that resolved these. :wacko: Got some Googling to do.

    At installation I was not greeted buy Mac security feature to allow the extension for this product.

    As you mention it works fine with Sierra, it sounds like it's not loading and hanging with High Sierra because ESET can't load the extension, as you haven't allowed it after installing the latest version.

    See: ESET system extension blocked in macOS 10.13 (High Sierra)

    Just to confirm, have you clicked on the Apple icon > System Preferences... > Security & Privacy and clicked Allow next to ESET?

    Once you click Allow, restart macOS and ESET should load normally.

    If it doesn't, then I would do as @Marcos said so they can figure out what's going on with your MacBook Pro.

  4. Hello,

    Firstly, please manually update to the latest version of ESET Cyber Security Pro by clicking on the download button below. For your convenience, this directly links to the Slovak language version of ECSP, version 6.5.600. Simply run the dmg and it should perform an upgrade for you. Once complete, restart macOS.

    Download ESET Cyber Security Pro

    Secondly, have you set exclusions for your backup destinations? Exclusions are set in ESET Menu Bar Icon > Preferences... > General > Exclusions Setup...

    For Time Machine, make sure you have excluded:

    • the Backups.backupdb folder on your backup destination (eg. /Volumes/Synology_DS216play/Backups.backupdb/*.*)
    • If you are using the new AFPS on your Macintosh HD, you will need to also create an exclusion for the local snapshots Volume that is created. This will be resolved in a future update, but for now you will need to add an exclusion manually. This is located at /Volumes/com.apple.TimeMachine.localsnapshots/. If you are unable to see this, you either are not using AFPS, or you need to enable Hidden files in ESET Preferences... > User Interface and restart macOS first.

    For Carbon Copy Cloner, make sure you have excluded the entire destination drive.

    Once you have done the manual upgrade, and added the exclusions... see how your backup goes at 6pm again. I would also open ESET Cyber Security Pro, go to Tools > Protection statistics and select the Real-time protection graph so while the backup is being done, you are able to see if ESET is interrupting the backup still. You will see this under Scanned object: on the bottom. If you see anything being scanned aggressively that you know is from Time Machine or CCC, it means that destination or process will also need to be excluded.

    Let us know how you go. Hope this helps.

    and i subscribed to newsletter, dont receive anything too, maybe it takes several weeks.... but it should not too

     

    There was a newsletter posted on the 22nd December about version 6.5.600 being released. You haven't received anything yet because 6.5.600 is the latest version and you signed up for the newsletter after the 22nd December.

    As I said previously, for now you should manually download and install version 6.5.600 from the ESET website, restart your Mac and I will be in touch as soon as the next public version is released to see if you received the new version as well.

    For your convenience, I have provided you Download buttons below. Simply click on the version you have.

    Download ESET Cyber Security  Download ESET Cyber Security Pro

    GREAT feedback and heads up for ESET!

    I should mention that shortly after that post, version 6.5.600 was released and contained the following:

    Quote

    Added: Partial support of HTTPS protocol in Web Access Protection and Web Control Protection (e.g., HTTPS blocking but no SSL scanning)

    So it seems that some progress is on the way, which is great.

    no, I dont use the Pro version

    ESET Cyber Security should have also notified you. Once you have installed version 6.5.600, let's see how the next release/update goes. I have switched to Cyber Security instead of Pro as well.

    This is an obvious question, but your license is valid and you are recieving module updates successfully from ESET, yes?

    Hello: I had no notification about the new version released, and I have to go to Eset web to download it...I don,t like to do that every time......I hope Eset notifies me in App when a new version is released and automatically downloaded...

    I recieved a notification about the new version of 6.5.600 released a few days ago in my ESET Cyber Security Pro... did you not recieve it?

  9. Because you factory reset your device normally, you know you haven't rooted your device, and Root Check has said that your device isn't rooted... it seems that ESET is giving you a false-positive about your root status and will need to be looked into further by ESET so they can figure out why their app is telling you this. In the mean time, it is safe to assume that your device is not in fact rooted.

    You will need to reactivate ESET Mobile Security by entering the license key of your Multi Device Security Pack, similar to the first time you installed ESET onto your tablet. See: Activate premium features in ESET Mobile Security for Android

    You may recieve a reply from ESET staff shortly here on the Forum, however I would contact customer care in the ESET Mobile Security app so they can look into this and have your application log.

    Contact customer care by tapping on the three lines next to the ESET logo on the top left of the app, and then tap 'Customer care'. Under Case type, select 'Security audit', and then for Issue type, select 'Incorrect data'. Provide the issue sescription about your device being incorrectly marked as a rooted device once you factory reset, that you never rooted your tablet and checked with another app that the tablet is not in fact rooted (or if you like, provide them a link to this Forum topic so they have everything that we've discussed). Make sure 'Submit application log' is left ticked.

    In the mean time, if the warning is annoying, you can hide it for now by once again tapping the three lines next to the ESET logo, tapping 'Security Audit', tapping 'Device Monitoring' and then turning off 'Rooted device' by using the switch on the right. It should turn grey and say 'Not monitored'.

  10. From my understanding, modules and product versions are completely seperate.

    Product versions update the core foundations, UI, etc., and then module updates are provided separately so ESET can update individual components at any time without needing to release a completely new product version. Hence why you see the dates of the modules listed next to each one (the top two you can see on your module list are released today).

    So, tomorrow, you will notice some modules update and others will remain as they are.

  11. Contacting ESET UK support about it would be beneficial.

    Even if it's not too much of a concern, it could help either the myESET team or the ESET UK team figure out the cause for your license not being accepted so they can either resolve it for you, or potentially resolve it for other ESET UK users, depending on which side the issue lies on.

    As a side note I have also noticed "-1" when re-activating on the same device, however when viewing it on the License Manager, it seems to automatically take over or overwrite the existing activation of the same device, which is useful to see.

    Hopefully they will be able to let you know the reason or cause, and if you like, let us know on here as well.

    Yes, I used back up and restore then factory reset as you thought.

    If this is the case and you factory reset normally without rooting the tablet, I would uninstall ESET Mobile Security and reinstall it again from the Google Play Store, as well as get a second opinion if your tablet is in fact rooted or not.

    1. Open ESET Mobile Security
    2. Tap on the three lines on the top left corner to open the menu.
    3. Tap Settings, then tap Uninstall.
    4. Once uninstalled, restart your tablet by holding down the power button for a few seconds and tapping on 'Restart'.
    5. Once restarted, visit the Google Play Store.
    6. While in the store, search for an app called 'Root Check' by JRummy Apps and Install it.
    7. Also search and Install ESET Mobile Security.
    8. Once both are installed, open Root Check and see if what the app says about your tablet. It will either say it is or it is not rooted.
    9. Note down the result and uninstall the Root Check app. (You can do this by going into Android Settings > Apps > Root Check > Uninstall.)
    10. Open ESET Mobile Security and follow the setup.
    11. See if ESET tells you the tablet is still rooted or not and compare results with the Root Check app results.

    Let us know how you go.

    Eset monitors SSL/TLS connections by default on Windows OS vers.. As far as those other vendors, don't know if they even have Mac OS vers..

    I should have been clearer — I was talking about the macOS versions. These vendors are the ones I have tried or used on macOS.

    So ESET is the only vendor so far that doesn't monitor SSL/TLS on macOS.

    Edit: Looks like it is now slowly being done!

    I was surprised when I heard they didn't have that feature in the mac product. I thought it might be due to Apple as they sometimes cause issues but some other products do apparently offer this feature. A bit off topic, but apparently all eset products will include network protection sometime in I presume 2018, not just firewall products e.g. NOD32 will have this feature

    I actually think ESET is the only product now that doesn't do SSL/HTTPS -- from my experience Avast, Norton, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, Bitdefender, McAfee, Sophos, Avira and Adguard all do. Regarding network protection, that would be great to see.

  15. There has been some confusion about this -- apparently it's not as strict as it was initially announced, so apps like Lastpass are not affected by this. Also, it has been more than 30 days, and ESET Anti-Theft and Parental Control are still using Accessibility Services as of today.

    I wouldn't be concerned at the moment, and ESET will notify us of any major changes or announcements regarding their Android apps.
