  1. when i use the ELC and select all the artifacts, it never completes, even after several hours.

    i discovered that when the ESET SysInspector Log entry in the ELC is selected it stalls the whole progress.

     

    i don't know if these might help.

  2. when i had to collect logs to send to support the log collector took more than two hours and it never completed. i guess it was the maximum verbosity i had set.

    so maybe SImbadda has set the verbosity to Diagnostic, and that makes the ELC to take a very long time to complete?

     

    go to advanced setup > tools > log files, and tell us what is the current setting on the minimum logging verbosity

  3. the lines in blue color (error opening) mean that those locations/files are currently locked or open by other running processes/programs, and thus can' be scanned.

    but rest assured that critical files are always scanned upon booting up the pc.

     

    for example the file at the end C:\pagefile.sys is the file that windows use a temporary ram (random access memory), and that file is always in use by windows and it's normal for the Av to not be able to open it.

  4. do you get any error message when the screensaver starts?

     

    if you locate the screensaver SWF file and double click it, does it start?

    they are usually located here

    C:\Windows

    or

    C:\Windows\system32

    or

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (for 64bit windows editions)

     

    could you uninstall and reinstall the screensavers in case they got corrupted?

  5. when posting to the forum, once i press "post" the 3 dots will be visible for several seconds before the page refreshes and my post appears in it's place.

    i remember a few weeks before it used to be instantaneous. and some times the dots stay there and i had to manually refresh the page to check if my post was saved.

     

    plus when i create new threads, like this here, or report posts i get this error message.

    Service Unavailable

    The service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

  6. you can set SS not to notify you for windows 10 updates since all of them are automatically downloaded and installed.

     

    i suppose this must be some an incompatibility of some sort on eset. i had a printer driver not visible on windows update but i hid it with the tool MS provides.

     

    this tool will help you hide updates

  7. well there is plenty of disk space :ph34r:

     

    beside the disk space and the large logs, being almost all day in front of the pc, i only see notifications about the virus signature update. after v9 i've never seen a notification about the update of the other modules.

     

    on v8 i clearly remember seeing every once in a while a notification reporting "the modules have been updated", i've never seen one with v9.

     

    what could it be wrong? before i install it i used the removal tool in safe mode and i started from scratch with all settings.

  8. download the mcafee removal tool  and save it to your pc

    hxxp://us.mcafee.com/apps/supporttools/mcpr/mcpr.asp

     

    run it and follow the instructions.

    after that install the eset program that you will receive.

     

    never install more than one AV products on the same pc.

     

     

    all versions of home products of eset are the same. trial and full version are just differentiated by the product key used.

    when you request a trial version a special key will be used that is valid for 30 days. after you get your package and open it, you will just replace the old key with the new one and all will be just fine
