shocked

perhaps that earlier value was due to fresh boot or the task manager not being refreshed correctly or me not noticing the numbers correctly? the numbers are calculated in kb or byte? i'm confused.

if i'm not mistaken, the section "user interface" in the program settings has the options for those messages In-product messaging Display marketing messages – In-product messaging has been designed to inform users of ESET news and other communications. Sending marketing messages requires the consent of a user. Therefore, marketing messages are not sent to a user by default (shown as a question mark). By enabling this option, you agree to receive ESET marketing messages. If you are not interested in receiving ESET marketing material, disable the option.

sorry to hijack the thread but there must be something wrong with the installation. on my pc the ekrn.exe is somewhere 50-60 MB, definitely not more than 200 or 400. have you tried a clean install by removing it through safe mode? run the tool a few times until it reports that "no supported products were found" https://support.eset.com/en/kb2289-uninstall-eset-manually-using-the-eset-uninstaller-tool then download and install the full package from here

google translate reports it as Czech and it seems it's a product survey that somehow was sent in another language. i doubt it's inappropriate and definitely not a reason to change AV. how can we improve? share with us your experiences and opinions on eset. fill in the questionnaire 5 minutes

if a company has a pretty and more informative message for a 404 error it doesn't mean they more capable than others with a plain page.. i'm sure the server admin is notified about it and since we don't know what caused it, we don't know how hard or easy it is for a fix. since it's expiring tomorrow you can call the offices in Asia and explain your issue and perhaps they can help by renewing it in another way.

Marcos, after visiting the address you gave and selecting to renew the license, it reports a "server not found" error. so i guess the OP is correct, the Philippine server has issues. even the "activation" link can't be opened.

it's there.

it's weird. i visited the site mentioned and both ublock and EIS didn't even bat an eye.

the captcha verification is a method of distinguishing real humans from scripted bots. there are other methods, for example, dragging a small puzzle image to it's correct position, but that implementation depends on the website owner. also, renewing the eset license has nothing to do with google, google won't "steal" your key

imo that notification is a crucial part of the successful operation of the program and the OS. a user could be alerted that something in the OS isn't working right and then take action. it he could disable it, even by mistake, then the entire system could be at huge risk.

so this means it's something that will be fixed in a future product update or it's a OS bug?

if by lag you mean the delay that happens between online functionality or aged hardware, then no! ESET products remove viruses and other malware, they don't interfere with the network latency or "fix" old hardware.

there's a possibility that a normal restart isn't working due to the "fast startup" feature of windows 8 and later. Windows keep a portion of the kernel always loaded on the hdd to save time during the boot process. upon installing v14.0.22.0 some shields were disabled, but after performing a restart via the CMD, everything runs fine now. may i suggest you all try opening the CMD (no need for admin rights), then type this shutdown.exe /r this will perform a full shutdown and reboot of the computer. just a thought.

try an offline upgrade to see if it's going to be successful EIS https://www.eset.com/int/home/internet-security/download/ NOD https://www.eset.com/int/home/antivirus/download/ SSP https://www.eset.com/int/home/smart-security-premium/download/ download the appropriate installer of your current product. click advanced download on the right side to let you download the full package and not the live installer.

actually it's the font used by the app that shows the "g" kinda weird. if you look the word "Program" the "g" looks the same.
