Hi,
I need a way to disable automatic download of updates for ESET Cyber Security Pro (Mac).
First of all, I know it's not secure, it's not recommended, it's mommy knows best, it's whatever-the-million-of-other-reasons-you-can-name. But I have one that counters all of them.
In the place I live it currently, in Germany, internet providers are often of not the best quality. Outages are not uncommon, and usually I have 1-3 outages per month that last more than 1 hour and 1 every 1-2 months that last more than a day. I still have to to my job, though. So I'm using mobile internet as a fallback measure. Mobile internet in Germany is pricy as fhell, money they charge for extra packages are just insane. And each time there's an outage, I have to use a limited, metered connection. Which means each and every single byte of transferred data = money. If I run out of my monthly traffic limit before the next billing date, I'll have to put up 10€ for every 2Gb of traffic, just to keep doing my job.
And automatic updates - is something that eats away bite by bite off that precious traffic pie.
So it boils down to something really simple: why do I need an antivirus, if I don't have the internet? Or if I don't have a job because of that antivirus, who ate all the traffic I needed to do my job? I surely can live without an antivirus update for a day or two, don't you agree?
I have disabled all automatic updates and downloads in my system except one: ESET. It's OK to notify me about a new update. But it's NOT OK to download things without my permission.
Hence my question: how do I disable automatic downloading of updates by ESET Cyber Security Pro (Mac)?
