[adjust start-up scan / testing mode]

Thank you for your reply.

 

When comparing benchmark tests between:

1) systems having OS core & OS apps only (no 'non-OS' apps); versus

2) systems having OS core & OS apps as well as ESET internet security installed...

...the time required to achieve 'usable system' (i.e., a user can commence launching OS system apps) is significantly longer for the post-ESET-installation systems.  Upon analysis, it appears that ESET's start-up/boot-up scan is the significant difference.

a user/administrator needs the ability to 'place' the star-up scan into a 'delayed-start' mode [as opposed to disabling the feature altogether, which is apparently the only option provided within the application]
