Planet, thank you for the links and the additional details and suggestions. I appreciate that you take the time to do this for, not only me, but for others that may also be following this thread. Also, Arakasi, thank you as well. (I am a Windows user by 'birth'; but I am now enjoying learning and using Mac OS X).

Hi Arakasi, Thanks for the rapid response. Have you actually applied the new code in this fashion? Or is this what you think from past experience? I am new to MAC OS X and so I want to be as certain as possible before I mess around with anti-virus code and -- especially beta code?

Planet, (Arakais, SweX) I need your expertise. I see that you have received and installed the beta code. I also contacted Peter and he provided the above referenced beta release. This is a beta 'fix' which has not passed ESET QA and therefore involves some risk. However, I am willing to try the release (as I just had the process crash 2 times within 2 minutes - after days of no crash, and by the way -- I was using the 64-bit Firefox browser). The assistance I request is: How do I install this fix? Do I simply drag my current ESET Security Cyber Pro app (6.0.9.1) icon from my Applications Folder to the trash can and then open the .dmg file and proceed as usual? Do I need to manually remove any other files? Or can I simply install over the current, buggy version? Also, where do I move the info_get.command script? Or do I leave it in my downloads folder and choose to open it with iTerm.app (if and when that becomes necessary)? Do you have any further suggestions/instructions on how to proceed? I thank you in advance for your assistance. George

ESET Cyber Security Pro 6.0.9.1 Mac OS X 10.9.4 (13E28) (64-bit) Macbook Pro i7-4960HQ I have the same kernel panic error. This is a brand new MacBook (4 days old). OSX fully updated and ESET was the first 3rd-party software installed. Facts: I use Chrome (not Safari) Occurred yesterday night I suggested that a neighbour use ESET on his Mac (do not have system info) We installed the latest ESET 5 days ago He has had the error each day for the last 4 days straight. Both of us, accepted the option to send the error report to Apple THEREFORE - ESET should be able to contact Apple to get the reports. I am sure that many users (who do not use this Forum), nonetheless automatically accept the option to send the report to Apple. I am certain Apple has a lot of diagnostic log files that ESET should have access to. Is there only one ESET developer working on this problem (now over three months old)? This is a HUGH black eye. I am a Windows user and ESET subscriber on that platform now for over 10 years. I would have (and have been) the greatest supporter of ESET as the security app of choice on Windows - hence my recommendation and choice for Mac. But, not any more. This is stupefying!!
