Are you talking about ESET informing you about missing OS updates? IF so - ESET will only inform you about them and won't install them on it's own.

I understand. This wouldn't work for me as I couldn't use IE as default (I would have to copy paste all links from email client instead of just clicking on them and similar)...

Hm, I don't know how many people actually use IE as default browser. If so, they would also use it for browsing so there would be no separation of browsers. Regarding IE - I just prefer to use it that way. Bank uses personal certificate for identification and I imported it to Windows certificate store and it's not accessible by Firefox. So using IE jthat way makes sense to me. I've had option to select which browser will be protected in previous AV solution so I thought I'll give a suggestion here.

Description: FW option evaluate rules from Windows Firewall Detail: In Advanced setup of Firewall set to Automatic mode there is an option Also evaluate rules from Windows firewall. As described this option will allow inbound traffic allowed by Windows firewall. For me it would be useful to have an option that will also evaluate blocked outbound rules in Windows firewall. This way those rules wouldn't have to be recreated when migrating from Windows native firewall to ESET's. I apologize if any of both suggestions have already been posted.

Description: Non-default browser for Banking and Payment protection Detail: It would be nice if we could set non-default browser to be used for banking protection when secure browser is run from main screen or using desktop shortcut. I use Firefox for day-to-day browsing (it's set as default) and Internet explorer for online banking and similar. I can launch protected IE if I navigate to banking website from within IE and then switch to secure browser when asked. If I launch secure browser from desktop it will always launch Firefox and as it seems that there is no option to set non-defaul

Attached are my logs from LogCollector and ProcessMonitor logs with and without a simulated problem. TY. eis_logs.zip Logfile_problem.zip Logfile_no_problem.zip

My bad. I was trying to say I wouldn't like... Privacy concerns...

Not yet. Will wait until I submit log files if there could be a problem in EIS. If I reinstall utorrent and it solves the problem I might not be able to reproduce it again.

I can't reproduce it in VM (but I have other OS version installed there). Can I attach log files to my post or should I send you PM (I would like log files to be freely accessible to everyone)?

It happens only with utorrent.exe.

Excluding process from scanning makes only a little difference. Also I doubt that it's related to file execution. IMO it's file Open that causes the problem. If I right-click on file, symptoms are the same: 30+ seconds till right-click menu appears and during that time ekrn,exe using one CPU core. If I then select Properties from righ-click menu whole thing happens again. So it's not just program startup that causes the problem.

I've tested different settings changes and two that help are: adding utorrent.exe to performance exclusion or disabling scan on file open option in real-time system protection. Other options disabled or enabled don't make a difference. I checked what's happening in background using ProcessMonitor and it seems that ekrn.exe is performing same action again and again for cca 30 seconds when that executable is accessed or run.

Thanks for suggestion. I tested qbittorent in past but prefer to use utorrent instead.

I run as limited admin (UAC at max). I don't use other tools. Execution is not blocked by Windows or it's mechanisms but by ESET. It happens only first time after ESET install (I tested it twice). After first time blockage uTorrent later can be run, it just takes cca. 30 seconds to start.

After installing latest version of Eset Internet Security, I have problem running uTorrent desktop application. At first run I got attached error message, all later app startups are really slow ( 30+ seconds). If I pause protection, uTorrent starts normally. Please give me instruction what data you need to help you troubleshoot this problem. Regards.
