A simple test to determine the effect Eset has on your system at startup, disable the scheduled task to update at start up, restart your system. If start up time is drastically reduced than Eset may be the culprit. You can do the same with the scheduled start up scan. 

How long should it take though because generally speaking on bootup eset is taking often in the region of 20 minutes to update. I've supplied some logs and understand that it is using less resources but something under 1mb should be quick. I can imagine a lot of people thinking something was wrong with their AV due to this.

I'm split. I wouldn't mind if Eset introduced it but there's the debate if AVs should basically focus on being AVs and leave the other stuff to other users.

eset is sponsor ! 👍
 

I believe what the user is meaning is using the password manager as an authenticator. Found this for 1Password https://support.1password.com/one-time-passwords/
What this basically seems to suggest is with some password managers you can use the app to also show the 2FA codes, similar to the Google Authentication App. I myself use an app called Authy for this.
This is an interesting idea but not sure what i think as having your passwords and the authentication tokens in the same place could also be risky 

Gotta love the Good Deeds Service touch lol. 

The free version of ZoneAlarm definitely has been using  the Kaspersky engine for a while: https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/check-point-zonealarm-free-antivirus-plus .
The paid consumer and enterprise versions use more Kaspersky components: http://svendsen.me/worried-checkpoints-use-kaspersky-products-heres-disable-remove/

the world is rocked by the horrifying news of how despotic authoritarian governments and their agencies have used the spyware pegasus made by NSO from israel to intrude the phones & privacy of journalists/opposition leaders/judges/activists etc.
from all accounts, it is now becoming clear that the two primary operating systems on phones, android & ios by google & apple have intentional backdoors disguised as security bugs to allow the security agencies to snoop into any smart phone worldwide.
my question is, as a responsible antivirus vendor, will eset ever be able to protect the users from such illegal intrusions ? is it ever possible, considering that the OS itself has been laid bare to such intrusions by incorporating "security bugs".
phones, especially the smart phones are are no longer secure, but the stunning silence of all AV vendors is even more cause for concern.

I see them the same as the passwordrevealor guy, designing something to hack, but NSO gets a pass because they do it for "law enforcement and national security"  

What I find funny is the people behind pegasus keep saying this person and this person etc. weren't being tracked by the software and the next thing they say they don't have access to customer data so can't see who/what their customers are spying on, which contradicts the previous statements

My guess is that this is just included in case the user requires remote help, and it is just there to cover themselves i.e. it's made quicker by the fact the user has to already agree to it. I think they would still need to send the download, but it gets the legal stuff out the way ready. I could be wrong but I think this is probably most likely

I'll also pass on this "tidbit:"

Just wondering if in advanced you have some notifications disabled 

We've nailed it down. A legit tool was backdoored and loads a malicious dll with zero detection at VT which loads the following encrypted payload:

I expect the detection to be available momentarily via streamed/pico updates.
Also please confirm that you have enabled the LiveGrid Feedback system for maximum protection.

Note: It is not Eset's responsibility to help web site owners remove malware from their web sites. Recently, @Marcos has far exceeded what is required as an Eset moderator in assisting web site owners identify malware on their web sites.

Dark mode should be supported by ESET Mobile Security soon.

ESET Push Notification Service has been used in business products for years already and now it's also leveraged by consumer products, to communicate with my.eset.com, Anti-Theft servers, licensing servers, etc.
As mentioned above, in future versions it will be possible to disable the notifications when EPNS is not available.

I should add that anything that is cracked that appears safe, could be dangerous, even if not detected.
The problem is that as these are from unoriginal sources, you never know what they have done to it e.g. included hidden extras. Cracks are often used for malware distribution 

I dont think this is the right place to ask about "cracked" apk files 😬

Eset do recommended people use pre release updates on non production computers. The reason is often they will release new versions for people to test, often fixing issues, and by multiple people using it they can test if it works and also if there are any compatibility issues
E.g. they could release a pre release update to the main stable channel that could actually have issues but they weren't detected because not many people had used that version. Eset does have quality control, checks etc. But issues can happen, things missed etc.

I wonder why people open RDP to all , when sometimes it's companies that do that.. and even though you are opening it to all and still using a password like

Running unpatched systems that are open to all with weak passwords, that is really bad.
And if it had to be open to all , some products need to be used for protection , like an IPS or some NGFW and a looooong and complicated password is also needed , I wonder what kind of logic is this
Firewalls are crying in the corner..
