I believe I recovered the account. But there aren’t any devices that I don’t recognize. Not sure what happened.

Now I get the obvious email about my license being overused, couldn't have seen that coming lol. Not impressed with Eset at the moment. I started a support ticket right after I was locked out. #00240573

Gotta say putting licensing details in something so easily taken over is a bad idea. If it was detected to be a strange login why would it be allowed? Come on Eset. Do better. Geez

Got an alert about a device from Venezuela logging in, now my password no longer works. How do I regain control?

I didn't do that but I did disable Eset from notifying about Windows updates and it seems to have gotten better.

More on IPv6 issues https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/Why+I+Gave+Up+on+IPv6+And+no+it+is+not+because+of+security+issues/27814/

Just seems to me to be a waste of time and resources encrypting something that there are multiple other ways discover users DNS traffic. Even HTTPS seems a waste when you really think about it. We created it to be "more" secure, then had antimalware "break" that encryption to "ensure we're safe" even though they're technically hacking into that encryption in the first place in the name of "Security". Makes it all seem rather pointless. https://www.zdnet.com/article/dns-over-https-causes-more-problems-than-it-solves-experts-say/

Is all this going down a road of whether it's worth decrypting things to scan if they're safe? Similar to the debates when scanning https first became common? When is it wise to scan encrypted traffic and when isn't it? Or maybe, are we encrypting stuff (and then having to decrypt it to ensure it's safe), that shouldn’t be encrypted in the first place?

Lots to digest there. Do you use any other browsers and see similar issues? dispalydns here reveals a smattering of both IPV4 and 6 addresses and no "ipv4only.arpa" so maybe your ISP is contributing to the problem.

I'm aware of that. Your issue is it not properly scanning DNS over HTTPS, which involves certificates to be properly scanned. For what it's worth, most of them are realizing FF is the problem and just move to another browser.

I've seen some Kaspersky users having strange issues with FF too in other forums. A solution suggested there is; https://www.hellomails.com/blog/mozilla-firefox-pkix_error_key_pinning_failure-fix/

But if it's your ISP, wouldn't the behavior be consistent regardless of whatever you did? And I could never reproduce the cloudcar issue either, so that may possibly be related to FF profile corruption also.

That's likely the case with me then. I don't typically use FF and installed it just to try and help with this thread.

It's also blocking the IPv6 address here. And SSL Scanning still turned off.

Yes, even with clearing FF cache and history, still blocked with SSL scanning turned off.

I don't think it's related to IPv version, seems it's something Firefox is doing. Disabling SSL scanning allows the site to be shown but still showing a warning that it was supposedly blocked in Firefox. In my other browsers it's still blocked with SSL scanning on or off.

Blocked properly here on https,

Eset Smart Security Premium includes a password manager that works well enough for me. No complaints about it. https://www.eset.com/int/home/smart-security-premium/

Best I could find; scroll down to policy for windows home products. But there's also info on how they number product versions if you're interested https://support.eset.com/en/kb3678-is-my-eset-product-supported-eset-end-of-life-policy-home-products

When it's ready. In general they release new major versions in October, towards the end of the month, but there isn't a specific date set afaik.

The move to Switzerland increased their ties to SVR not decreased them. GDPR doesn't apply to the Swiss. They have their own DPA, which essentially ensures complete privacy.

Most products also have trouble with MBR malware. The safest option is reformatting the drive anyway and restoring from a known good backup.

Yea, that was my favorite setup too.

Got it from an old page that hasn't changed for some reason; https://eset.version-2.sg/html/169/235
