Disabling Eset process only with providing password.

[wiggly 0]

Hi,

at first I want to say hello to all of you

I am a fresh Eset user, just testing 30 days trial period. I think I have configured it OK but I missed one option that might be very usefull. I would like set a password that would be required when someone or something will try to disable Eset processes. Does eset has this kind of feautre/setting?

Thanks you in advance for any response and advise

Best regards,

wiggly

You can set a password to protect settings and to prevent uninstallation. To set a password, open the advanced setup (F5) and navigate to User interface -> Access setup.

ESET's processes ekrn.exe and egui.exe are protected by self-defense so there's no easy way to disable them.

Hi Marcos,

thanks for response. I have found and set this option earlier and it is working OK with protecting settings. Also I have tested it now and ekrn.exe process can't be disabled but egui.exe can. Something is not working properly in my config? 

Also I assume that egui.exe process is responsible for GUI only? Even when it will be disabled then my PC will be still protected. Am I correct?
