It's now allowing me to reinstall eSet. Either I was impatient or you're very efficient!
-
I have had to retore my Thinkpad Laptop, it had eSet Home premium installed prior to the restore. I have deactivated the previous install and my online account shows that I have 2 devices out of 3 in use. I'm unable to re-install eSet as it says Device limit reached?

I've scanned the registry as an administrator using Smart scan profile. The scan took 14 min. and 29,000 objects were scanned.
Yes, scan completes on all three of my machines too. The point I was trying to make was that when I perform a system registry scan, it runs for a minute or so and appears to hang with the following displayed for a an exteneded period of time:
Detections occurred: 0
\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\htafile:FriendlyTypeName
It does this on three different machines. Two laptops and a desktop. Leave it run and the scan will complete.
I was just updating the thread to help others that stumble upon it. 🙂

Just an update for anyone that comes across this thread... Having just installed eseT Premium on three computers, I can confirm this behaviour was present on all three machines.

The scan completed after exactly 30 minutes. 👍🏻
It's weird because it scans for a minute, hangs at the above registry location for approximately 28 minutes and then starts scanning again for a minute, only then to complete.
I appreciate your fast response though. 👌🏻

Scan is once again in progress. It looks like it has hung at the same spot again. I will let it run for an hour and hopefully it completes.
FYI - When I perform a scan, it runs for a minute or so and hangs on the following entry every time:
Detections occurred: 0
\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\htafile:FriendlyTypeName
It just sits on this entry for a further 20-30 minutes at which point I gave up.
This laptop is 3 days old, set up from new. Surely it shouldn’t take so long to scan the registry?

About 30 minutes…. I will try again.

Hi,
I have successfully installed eseT Smart Security Premium which came with a Trial License on my Lenovo ThinkPad laptop. However, scan your computer hangs when scanning the system registry.
Custom scans are completed when scanning Operating memory, Boot sectors/UEFI, WMI database and drive C. But again, a scan of the system registry hangs every time. I have tried running scans as an administrator but the problem remains.
What am I doing wrong?

Yea, the dashboard said the same thing but it wouldn't let me progress. I guess I just needed to wait for things to sync or something.
