Thanks Peteyt,
LiveGuard? Cant see anything about it on the eset site...and your cant do a search on this site.
Smart security premium, is a big step up, and i been happy(ish) with ESET I.S.
cheers
Hi
LiveGuard when enabled will temporarily block files downloaded that Eset hasn't seen before while it checks them out. It gives you the option to allow or wait for a result

Just looking at the product, the ultimate version is a collection of products including an AV.
It's not recommended to use 2 AVs. You could turn off the others real-time protection but not sure if there will be still other features and drivers that could clash

I see the problem now, the module has been released for all products but v15-release. I've notified the HIPS developer to look into it and release it also on v15 regular update channel.
The link Itman showed seems to conflict with what is said on the forums about leaving pre release updates enabled. I presume this is for safety

So I'm worried because I use my machine for work it's set to pre launch because if I leave it as regular I'll have the problem as I said above, the CPU usage is too high.
My question is, when will this fix be released for folks setting up for regular updates?You should be fine I think it's more business users that need to worry and no idea sadly.
-
Just wondering if it would work for to have a way for users to whitelist extensions themselves meaning even if a new version comes out there shouldn't be an issue. Only problem could be if the extension gets compromised

I changed it to the pre-version it works with low consumption, now my pc is much better consuming less processing.
I would like to know why eset doesn't set it as a default for all users to have a pre version instead of the regular one?What's the real difference between pre launch and regular?
As Nightowl has mentioned pre release updates are usually for fixes, but they need user feedback before they are released.
Eset does recommend it enabled for general users but not if this is a work machine. Like most companies they have quality control and will have tested this but there's so many computer configurations and they can't test them all. Pre release is there to see if it helps and if there's any issues
-
Eset should have logs in the log section. Do you have unwanted program option enabled as it could be a program that isn't malware but classed as unwanted.
As marcos suggested run a scan and let us know what it finds, attach a screenshot etc.
-
You could also try uninstalling eset temporarily, backing up any settings you wanted to keep. If the problem doesn't go away then eset isn't the culprit

Look how much you're consuming right now. =(
What do I do?
Are you also noticing any slowdowns or just that it is showing this in taskmanager. Have you tried enabling pre release updates to see if it makes any difference.
I'd recommend opening a support ticket or maybe generating some logs. @Marcosmight be able to help more but will need logs. I don't have any experience with windows 11 myself and never noticed this on windows 10

I decided to upgrade my current EIS license to ESSP. That went seamlessly. Figures ..... But I now realize this was a big mistake.
First, autopay is reactivated even for a license upgrade. Next when I followed the procedure given here: https://support.eset.com/en/kb6205-manage-auto-pay-settings-for-your-eset-licenses-us-and-canada-customers-only and then use the link provided in the verify e-mail sent by Eset, I receive the following screen display:
I want autopay deactivated on my Eset eStore account! I don't care how the hell Eset does it, just deactivate the damn thing!
I still don't understand why it isn't off by default. It could even be displayed as an option when buying that is unticked by default. It would cause a lot less complaints

Eelam.sys is not loaded all the time; it's needed on Windows start to load ESET's drivers. Also it is not clear what you mean by "screenshots to fail", please clarify. I'd recommend raising a support ticket for further investigation and narrowing it down to a particular feature or driver.
Datto seems to offer backup systems so I presume it is backup related. Not the best advise from the company to just disable stuff though

Just my humble two cents here, but I don't understand why anyone would use this service. Some quick research will show they've been plagued by security incidents for years. They are owned by LogMeIn, a company that tolerates widespread scamming and data ransoming activity with their applications and does little to nothing about it. It is counterproductive to say the least to think the solution to keeping your passwords safe is to hand them over to a corporation. Especially one that has shown it has difficulty keeping its servers secure. The whole model is wrong. People's sensitive data should not be concentrated in one location, ever. That's just asking for trouble, both from outside attacks and unscrupulous parties within.
Personally, I use SafeinCloud. I'm not trying to advertise for anyone (there are many other options, it's the setup not the software maker that's important) and I'm not some super network security or cryptography guru, but as I understand it, it encrypts your password database and uploads it to whatever cloud service you choose, including your own if you wish via WebDAV. Neither they nor the cloud provider can access your passwords. An attacker, even if they somehow acquired your master password, would have to hunt down your file in the sea of the internet or run across it by chance; there is no convenient company data center to attack. The one small convenience disadvantage is that you can't quickly install an extension on a browser you're using on a public or guest computer and get your passwords. This has never really been a big issue for me, and is also a tradeoff for better security. The browser extensions are just pulling from the local database on the device, and letting you autofill as opposed to having to copy and paste from the main program.
My app costs a little money for premium features like Windows Hello support, that's it. No one should have to pay a monthly fee to someone just to secure their passwords. Do not let anyone convince you that is something that should be. You can even use completely free and open source programs like KeePass, where not only are you keeping your own passwords in a location you actually know, you or someone you trust can examine the source code yourself and know exactly what is being done with them.
I knew LastPass has had a few security issues but wasn't aware of LogMeIn. I do find remote access programs often get a bad name as they are also used by scammers. When he was around, my grandad fell for one of these. They used the event viewer scam to show him errors and claim it was multiple viruses

In the last post on the link @Marcosrecommended opening s support ticket so I'd recommend doing that as it's easier to track.
As you mentioned it seems to occur when the log file is large, which seems to be why Marcos could not reproduce it

HIPS s disabled Dse exist a version ONLY antivirus of ESEt nod 32 that I can try and that doesn't force me to install anything against my will and evaluate if I can buy it? (No internt security just antivirus)
Not sure if I got the question right but nod32 is just the AV version

The issue is that a crack basically re-writes stuff into a program to make it work/think/act like a fully paid program, when it isn't. The problem is that generally most people won't know what code was changed - this means malware developers could start sneaking stuff in.
A lot of cracks are detected as unwanted rather than malware, because of their nature I presume, and the fact they edit other programs code, registry etc. but if people think they are safe and so fully exclude them, in updates they might try and sneak other stuff in.
For that reason It's always safe to get your stuff legally, from trusted software. That's not to say these can't be abused e.g. the CCleaner incident from a few years back (probably quite a few now), but generally these are safer. Also there's probably more people going through the code of legal stuff, certainly if its open sourced.

I'd be interested to see if anyone from Eset has a response @Marcos I.e. any signatures to stop this and anything eset can do to help prevent this method in the future?

Hi,
Is it possible to genereate OTPs with this product? I migrated my bitwarden account to here, but I can't find this feature...
We have some shared accounts in our family (online stores for example) using OTP, and if I can't set this up, this feature seems pretty useless for us.
Thanks,
D.
Sadly not. I think I've seen one other user ask about it. You can post feature requests on the link bellow. However it might be a bit tricky. While everything else I belive is developed in house, the password manager is by another developer, with possibly some changes for the eset version, so it probably depends on if they include it

Also it seems ESSP won't be so premium anymore an paid year for it. Been very loyal to eset but are we also going to lose those three things that make it so special?
What do you mean? As far as I'm aware there is no plan to stop selling the premium version with its extras.
The only thing I've seen is a few users complaining that live guard is a feature that is apparently standard for most other AVs, and that it shouldn't be just premium. I don't think there's any plans to do this but Eset said they'd consider looking into it. Apparently it costs them more to run this feature though

Has to report something pleasing, since today the Live Grid goes again as if by magic, but my feeling apparently has not been deceived that it is due to Eset.
Strange. It appears live grid was working to block stuff but the reputation side wasn't. I don't know if they use the same systems, severs etc.

This would be indicative of the Emsisoft Windows uninstall leaving something on the device that allows it to check for this status.
I would use Emsisoft's "cleaner" to remove all traces of it: https://help.emsisoft.com/en/1787/how-do-i-completely-uninstall-an-emsisoft-product/ .
The email does ask if you have removed the product do you mind giving feedback, which sounds like they can see which licenses are in use and which aren't, and automated emails are sent to those that don't seem to be active but have yet to expire

That looks like an automated sales email. You would likely have to log into your account and unsubscribe from whatever email settings they have.
But it suggests they are also monitoring who is and isn't using their product somehow

Having licenses for both products, I'd add at least in my opinion and experience there really isn't much need to use both, and Emsi's behavior blocker produces numerous false positives. I haven't used EAM since July and don't plan on renewing. Which also brings up a user privacy issue, at least in my view, when you're not actively using thier product they email you asking why every few months.
Weird. I've never heard of an AV doing that. I could understand them emailing you if you didn't renew, with offers, but not because your not using the product and you still have an active license

Thank you, Pete.
I had to install KB4490628 and then had to run the offline NOD32 installer and only then managed to update to 15.0.21.0. Though, it was still not possible through the already installed v14. Thanks for your time once again.Glad to be a help. However I'd recommend looking into an upgrade. I belive windows 7 is in limited support Eset wise, although I could be wrong. Eventually support will be limited and so on
Android mobile why is there no in depth tutorial guid and does it really work or is it just hype?

Confused with the question.
I use the app and it seems to work fine. Any suspicious apps it warns me about and unsecure WiFi
Not sure about the spam side. My phone automatically alerts me for spam calls
