Since the software was created by Piriform , its really down to them to release any type of advice as to what to do "After" installing the offending product.
They have already released this .........

@Clark_10 The proof is really in the pudding so to speak. I think someone that uses an application over years has a better understanding and more knowledgable about any products quality than another entity that spot tests numerous products within a single working day.
From cat food to headphones , mobile phones , computers and cars. Everyone has a different experience when using something over a longer period of time. What appears to be great at the time of review might not even be to your taste, or might not prove as such a great purchase within days/weeks/months of use.

High probability that some files from v9 are being left behind after the upgrade to v10 and causing the issues.
Following this method will loose any rules/settings you have created manually in v9 so be warned1) Download the ESET uninstaller from here https://download.eset.com/com/eset/tools/installers/eset_apps_remover/latest/esetuninstaller.exe
2) Download the offline installer for your v10 product you are licensed for, from ESET Homepage (from the support>downloads section for your ESET product in your language)
3) Uninstall v9 manually via add/remove programs, then reboot go back into windows and then reboot in safe mode.4) Run the uninstaller you downloaded in step 1, as per the guide here https://support.eset.com/kb2289/
5) Install v10 that you downloaded on step 2
You should be good to go

First point of call would be to check if you have the detection of PUA/PUP enabled ???

I'm not a lawyer or anything but i suspect that they will probably end up walking away with nothing more than a lecture and a public apology. Because they are not a bank, they probably don't have to adhere to the same regulations as banks do regarding financial losses.
At worst they will fold/disappear and show up 6 months later under some new name. With some middle manager taking the fall.
But if anything, it will be a "test case in law" for any large scale hacks in the future.
Might even change the culture of storing card details/addresses for convenience on any website. This would actually be a good thing as typing 16 digits and filling in your address is not really a chore if it's going to protect you long term.

@SCR
You mean to say that a free years credit reporting protection isn't suffice for all your details possibly being in the hands of hundreds of criminals worldwide trying obtain credit, bank accounts or even I.D in your name. You sir are a very hard man to please
This 3 months time period seems to be the industry standard before letting the cat out of the bag and informing people. Just in time for your name being used for credit for your 4th home and 6th BMW.
Let me predict the outcome ............. "Lessons have been learned"
Until the next time

Nice to see they called in security experts "after" the bird had flew the nest
"Only the names, social security numbers, birth dates, addresses and, in some instances, driver's license numbers of 143 million Americans were exposed"
As for folks' credit card numbers, Equifax said payment card details for around 209,000 US consumers were also swiped by miscreants. In addition, "certain dispute documents with personal identifying information" belonging to 182,000 Americans were also illegally accessed. An unknown number of Canadian and UK customers have also had their private data pinched.

I have used ESET's products for many many years and from time to time have also installed bitdefender and kasperky's products to see if there is anything that ESET may have missed. Each time i have tried the others they have came back as nothing found...... so in my case there was nothing that ESET missed.
Zemana usually leaves running services after you uninstall it and you will have to remove them manually. My personal choice for a second scanner would be Malwarebytes free or hitman pro free, or superantispyware free. None of them running realtime as it will most likely cause issues.

Password managers that require a master password to access the encrypted database that stores the passwords make them safer.
There are many different authors of password managers and IF anyone did try and hack them, they would first have to at least know what password manager you are using in the first place, out of the hundreds in use.
Things like password managers or on screen keyboards lessen the chances of keyloggers stealing your data.
Its not a magic bullet , pretty much like any security product. It just reduces the chances of having your login details stolen.
In reality you have more chance of your details being stolen from a poorly secured website , than a password manager being hacked. -
Hi,
Sorry i don't speak German but it is Firefox that is blocking installation of those add ons. It's a feature Mozilla added to limit the amount of bad addons that are available. They might not be threats as such, but some of them can be poorly coded and can cause stability issues and can also be blocked for that reason too. -

I keep having Bad pool caller errors when using a web browser and internet monitoring is turned on in ESET. I've tried changing browsers and checking the memory, but no luck. The only thing that seems to solve the issue is to turn off internet monitoring. Anyone seen this before?
If you are only having problems when using the web, then a good starting point may be checking your network adapter drivers are up to date and the correct version for your specific operating system. Bad drivers are a common cause of bad pool errors, and also one of the quickest things to check/update and might resolve your issue.

Don't know how many of the users on here use a password manager with both unique usernames and passwords on websites , but it may be time to do so if you don't already.
Over the past 2 weeks i have been receiving a lot of spam messages, originating from Poland, Ukraine, Czech Republic (about 40 per day) and sort of expected there has been some sort of leek or new list of email addresses being sold/used in the wild to send out spam messages.
Received a message this morning confirming my suspicions and you might want to have a little read at this article.
A lot of the email addresses and passwords have been carried over from previous breaches Like Adobe and LinkedIn , but there is obviously new sources for the 30gb of data these sites are hosting.

The fact of the matter is both machine learning and artificial intelligence exist just now. It just depends on what peoples expectations are of it, plus what it's marketed as.
ML at its current form can be seen by anyone online that goes to google........ then types in "how do i" ....
Google then gives you suggested items to complete your sentence, where it can either fail or win.
Example of something that will probably work for a few, was during the elections in the USA. If you went to google at that point in time and typed in "should i vote for", would have most likely suggested Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.
But google was wrong as I was actually looking for "should i vote for the new library to be built" for example
If you then apply the same expectations and outcomes from a security product then it's easy to see how "guesswork" can get it so wrong most of the time, but on occasion get it right.

Well adblockers work by using "lists" of known ad sites and don't employ anything clever in the way of detection/blocking.

My dog is depressed with the av-comparatives test forum posts as you seen with the photo above. He thinks that people should consider looking at these tests only "IF" their current av product has actually let them down and ended up infected because of the "Supposed" poorer detection.

My Dogs reaction to this news

I don't see how your post has any relevance to what these forums are intended for.
These are help/assistance forums for ESET products and not designed to become some type of competition or product endorsement.
You started the thread regarding some url's to some pharma websites and have now escalated it to your own personal AV suite test and review(with dubious results).These forums are viewed by a lot of people across the globe and what you are implying is that ESET is offering vastly inferior products to its rivals, which simply isn't the case.
You should maybe email the details/evidence of the tests that you ran(including links to the samples you used) to each vendor and get a response from them directly instead.

@malkil
It's not really malware as such and the company offers other similar tools, to find keys for windows/office/adobe apps etc plus recover password from browsers. There are other authors of similar tools too ..........
The fact that its run and displayed locally does not really pose a threat, but in the other hand if it did transmit the data over the web then it would be.
That's why there is an ability to have a password to log into windows itself , if you fear someone running this on your pc and recovering your password.
This cant recover a password from any wifi connection, without having access to the computer that the password is already saved to.

Depends on what you define "personally" as being best. Every now and again i tend to try/test other suites like Kaspersky and Bitdefender.
Installed both KIS2017 and Bitdefender over the past month and neither of them found any issues whatsoever when scanning after removing my ESET product. So ESET had me covered all the time
Both Kaspersky and Bitdefender are good enough products but lack any decent configuration options. Your choices are very limited on both these suites. ESET has a good auto mode for novices but also allows more experienced users to be a little more creative when it comes to configuring the whole product.
Have not even tried an Symantec product for over 12 years now as it was always plagued with poor detection and performance issues, so i have no clue as to how Norton is nowadays.
ESET offers more out of the box as a whole package than the others do.
You should use a trial version of KIS or Bitdefender and see for yourself, just how limited and frustrating these packages are with the configuration. With pretty much identical detection rates as ESET has.

Like @itman has said above, tcp port 23 is open on your router.
To close it , you need to go to hxxp://192.168.1.1 using your browser. Then go to the forwarding tab at the left hand side, and make sure there are no entries set up under the "virtual server" or "port triggering".

The av-comparatives and av-test/av-lab results raise their head in these forums on a near weekly basis. Would be nice if people used them as reference material, rather than quoting them as fact.
As has been discussed previously and noted by @SCR above , nothing gives 100% protection 100% of the time. Likewise these reports are not 100% accurate, 100% of the time, all the time.
And on lighthearted note, i would never visit a Canadian pharma website ...... never had a floppy since dos 6.22
Updates and losing bookmarks
in General Discussion

I think you have something wrong with your browser that is causing this. ESET installs or updates wont cause you to loose bookmarks.
Are you using a plugin to manage bookmarks or just inbuilt bookmark functions ?
