I have run across this error a few times as well. It does seem Windows updates have to be rather recent - Windows 10 or 7 - and the ESET uninstaller tool in safe mode has worked. My only question from above would be why this happens on a "NEW" PC. Unbox a new PC, get it setup and have to boot in safe mode to uninstall what? While the posts in reply to Carol were accurate, it does not explain why these steps are needed on a new PC. I deploy PCs a lot, am I also expected to deal with "This may be a result of malware activity." when I know this statement to just be plain false? I would hope that there would be a way around "Safe Mode" as the only solution. Using ExecTI, I can delete all protected registry keys that make ESET services "unstoppable" and remove any ESET files. Probably takes less time.
