Revanite

I have the newest build downloaded. I have uninstalled via safe mode.

There's a contradiction in your statement. First you say that you cannot run egui.exe but at the same time you see it among running processes but cannot kill it. Due to self-defense, once it's running it cannot be killed which is expected. However, starting it via the Start menu should always work, even if no icon is display in the tray menu. I understand what you are getting at. The problem exists that the GUI for eset will not load. when i do run the program (and don't force a shutdown of my user) it always gives me a "blue screen of death". The latest one gave me a file association at least ... edevmon.sys (one of the driver files) I also understand what you mean by its own self defence mechanism. As a point, if I use the start menu to load up egui.exe once I access that program i can no longer access anything on the start menu. Nothing is able to be selected or scrolled through. Often times I have to force a log off (ctrl+alt+del) and if I don't do that I get blue screened.

Windows 7 is the os and there is no other software running for firewall. It is on a router firewall (so hardware firewall). Ekern.exe is in the processes. Egui.exe is not running. When I do run egui.exe it will not load, it cannot be accessed and if I go to shut it down via task manager it says that I cannot and that access is denied. Marco: no I cannot open via the start menu and the eset icon doesn't show in the tray window. I have tried loading egui.exe via start menu and via explorer

So I have, for the past 35 days, been fighting with this software. I have uninstalled and re-installed 5 times now with nothing working. ESET will not auto-start (as I configured) and now if I try to load in the program manually it will not work. if I try to end the process via the task manager it will block me out saying that the application has failed. I would load a dump file but I can't load the program to reinstall. The last time that I attempted to reinstall and run this program (as an administrator etc) it caused a blue screen windows error. No other programs, that I currently use, have been acting oddly or wrong during this time frame. i honestly feel that this purchase has been a big waste of money and time. i hope that there is some sort of fix because I doubt i could get any sort of refund at this point.....
