Hi @ all,
thank you, i can confirm that after a restart (after auto-installing update 24753 this afternoon) everything is ok.
I noticed the problem with PRTG yesterday afternoon, all ping sensors were going crazy even though the machines were actually reachable. Based on the time when the packet loss occurred and the communicated time of the pattern updates, it quickly became clear to me that it had to be related to ESET, especially since PINGS on my Linux systems and my switches continued to work without errors.
Thank you for this fast solving. This is why I´am an ESET-Partner.
Greetings and best regards
